Excellent- More about Bodies, Noise and Power in Industrial Music
This edited collection explores the industrial music genre's significance in (sub)cultural identity formation and the impact of technology on music production. It adopts an interdisciplinary approach to analyze the treatment of subjects like the body, noise, and power in industrial music elements, including lyrics, aesthetics, music videos, song writing, performance, and audience reception. The chapters are selected to provide a diverse and intersectional perspective, expanding the industrial boundary and broadening the focus beyond white European industrial music.

Industrial music, with its origins dating back to the 1970s, has emerged as a genre that is characterized by its harsh, transgressive, and radically charged nature. The soundscape of industrial music is intense and powerful, adorned with taboo images and thematically focused on authority and control. At its core, industrial music engages critically with configurations of the body and related power structures.
This collection takes an interdisciplinary approach to analyze the treatment of subjects such as the body (animal, human, machine), noise (rhythmic, harsh), and power (authority, institutions, law) in various elements of industrial music. By examining lyrics, aesthetics, music videos, song writing, performance, and audience reception, the chapters in this collection seek to provide a diverse and intersectional perspective.
The contributors to this collection have carefully selected their chapters to offer a comprehensive understanding of the aesthetics and discourses surrounding physical bodies and power as expressed in the industrial genre. Rather than providing a historical context, the contributors interpret the finer elements of the aesthetics and discourses around physical bodies and power within the genre, expanding the boundaries of industrial music and broadening its focus beyond white European industrial music.
In conclusion, this edited collection is a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of industrial music, musicology, and cultural studies. It offers a comprehensive examination of the importance of music in (sub)cultural identity formation and the impact of technology on the production of music. By exploring the treatment of subjects such as the body, noise, and power in industrial music, the collection contributes to our understanding of the genre and its broader cultural significance.
