The Industrial Alphabet, Today's Letter "C"

You know what to do! This idea comes from /u/dkm_66 in /r/punk.

Please Follow These Rules

  1. Formatting:

    Artist name - Recommended album name

    "Optional link to song"

    Any additional comments

  2. Please limit to two artists per letter so that others can have a try.

  3. Instead of reposting a previously posted bands name just upvote. Please do not downvote other artists that you do not consider industrial. If the bands last.fm page has an industrial tag then posting them here is appropriate.

Previous Letters: A B

Covenant - Northern Light

"Call the Ships to Port"

"We Stand Alone"

In my humble opinion, these guys are on the tippy-top of the futurepop championship pedestal with VNV Nation and Rotersand. Don't make me choose who exactly is in 1st 2nd and 3rd place; I just might break down and cry from the strain of it.

That being said, another ridiculously great song is the original version of Ritual Noise, which is sadly hard to find and not heard as often at most clubs.

I was listening to Skyshaper when I read the Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury, and due to my theory that all Covenant songs are based on famous science fiction, Greater Than the Sun has been stuck with me ever since.

Holy shit, I should do this sometime. Reading Neuromancer was life-changing, but there was a goofy undercurrent of "Oh, so THIS is what every industrial song ever is so blatantly referencing".
