Industrial music is a term that describes a wide range of music, generally mixing rock with samplers and electronic instruments.
History
Industrial music grew as an offshoot of electronic music known as musique concrete, which was made by manipulating cut sections of recording tape, and adding very early sound output from analog electronics devices. The term Industrial Music was originally coined by Monte Cazazza as the strapline for the record label Industrial Records, founded by British art-provocateurs Throbbing Gristle. These original artists have very little musical connection with modern "industrial music". Although contemporary to punk rock in the mid-to-late 1970s such as the Sex Pistols, industrial music was more hard hitting and thought-provoking and less easy to swallow (being basically noise music).
The term was meant by its creators to evoke the idea of music created for a new generation of people, previous music being more agricultural.
First wave of industrial music
The first wave of this music appeared in the late 1970s in the UK with bands like Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire and SPK. Blending electronic synthesisers, guitars and early samplers, these bands created an aggressive and abrasive music fusing elements of rock with experimental electronic music. Like their punk cousins, they enjoyed the use of shock-tactics including explicit lyrical content, graphic art and Fascist imagery. The label Industrial Records controversially used an image of a gas chamber as its logo.
Later, across the Atlantic, similar experiments were soon to take place. Boyd Rice (aka NON) released several albums of noise music, with guitar drones and tape loops creating a cacophony of repetitive sounds. In San Francisco, performance artist Monte Cazazza began releasing albums of atonal rock. In Germany Einstürzende Neubauten were performing daring acts, mixing metal percussion, guitars and even jackhammers in elaborate stage performances that often damaged the venues they were playing.
In the early 1980s, advances in sampling technology and the popularity of synthesised new wave music bought some industrial musicians greater exposure. As much as some new wave bands were informed by the experiments of the industrial bands, the original industrial groups also began to refine their sound. Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle experimented with dance beats, and the Cab's (as they were known by fans) album The Crackdown (1983) was released on Virgin Records to some success.
Industrial rock
In the 1980s the more experimental side of industrial music became subsumed into dance and rock music. Psychic TV, formed from the remnants of Throbbing Gristle, released early albums of Acid House music, such as Jack The Tab (1988). In North America, bands such as Skinny Puppy and Ministry mixed shock-rock performances with electronic samples and heavy metal guitars to create a genre often referred to as "industrial rock". Other notable artists in this genre enjoyed widespread mainstream success in the 1990s, including but not limited to Front Line Assembly, Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson and Fear Factory.
Modern industrial music is generally sequenced, making heavy use of FM & digital synths. It is characterized by a deadened snare drum sample and a heavy bass drum sample to a rock or techno beat. Vocals are often distorted and can feature tortured lyrics. The auto-arpeggiate feature of modern synthesizers is used often, to create complex sounding multiple simultaneous arpeggiations from multiple synthesizers which are synchronized with drum machines via MIDI. Reliance on heavy distortion pioneered by heavy metal also typifies the genre. Contemporary industrial music tends to be, but not exclusively, club-oriented

The Industrial Revolution was a period of of the 18th century marked by social and technological change in which manufacturing began to rely on steam power, fueled primarily by coal, rather than on water or wind; and by a shift from artisans who made complete products to factories in which each worker completed a single stage in the manufacturing process. Improvements in transportation encouraged the rapid pace of change.
The causes of the Industrial Revolution remain a topic for debate with some historians seeing it as an outgrowth from the social changes of the Enlightenment and the colonial expansion of the 17th century.
The Industrial Revolution began in the English Midlands and spread throughout England and into continental Europe and the northern United States in the 19th century. Before the improvements made to the pre-existing steam engine by James Watt and others, all manufacturing had to rely for power on wind or water mills or muscle power produced by animals or humans. But with the ability to translate the potential energy of steam into mechanical force, a factory could be built away from streams and rivers, and many tasks that had been done by hand in the past could be mechanized. If, for example, a lumber mill had been limited in the number of logs it could cut in a day due to the amount of water and pressure available to turn the wheels, the steam engine eliminated that dependence. Grain mills, thread and clothing mills, and wind driven water pumps could all be converted to steam power as well.
Shortly after the steam engine was developed, a steam locomotive called The Rocket was invented by Robert Stephenson, and the first steam-powered ship was invented by Robert Fulton. These inventions, and the fact that machines were not taxed as much as people, caused large social upheavals, as small mills and cottage industries that depended on a stream or a group of people putting energy into a product could not compete with the energy derived from steam. With locomotives and steamships, goods could now be transferred very quickly across a country or ocean, and within a reasonably predictable time, since the steam plants provided consistent power, unlike transportation relying on wind or animal power.
One question that has been of active interest to historians is why the Industrial Revolution occurred in Europe and not in other parts of the world, particularly China. Numerous factors have been suggested including ecology, government, and culture. Benjamin Elman argues that China was in a high level equilibrium trap in which the non-industrial methods were efficient enough to prevent use of industrial methods with high capital costs. Kenneth Pommeranz in the Great Divergence argues that Europe and China were remarkably similar in 1700 and that the crucial differences which created the Industrial Revolution in Europe were sources of coal near manufacturing centers and raw materials such as food and wood from the New World which allowed Europe to economically expand in a way that China could not.
The debate around the concept of the initial startup of the Industrial revolution also concerns the 100 year lead Great Britain had over the other European countries. While some have stressed the importance of natural or financial ressources, others have looked at the social aspects and theorized that the British advance was due to the presence of an entrepreneurial class which believed in progress, technology and hard work. The existence of this class is often linked to the Protestant work ethic and the particular status of dissenting protestant sects that had flourished with the English revolution.
The dissenters found themselves barred or discouraged from some public offices when the restoration of the monarchy took place and membership in the official Anglican church became once more an important advantage. Historians sometimes consider this social factor to be extremely important along with the nature of the national economies involved. While members of these sects were excluded from certain circles of the government they were considered as fellow protestants to a limited extent by many groups of the middle class, such as traditional financiers or other businessmen. Given this relative tolerance and the supply of capital the natural outlet for the more enterprising members of these sects would be to seek new opportunities in the technologies created in the wake of the Scientifc revolution.
This argument has on the whole tended to neglect the fact that several inventors and entrepreneurs where rational free thinkers or "Philosophers" typical of a certain class of British intellectuals in the late 18th century, and were thus not considered as good Anglicans. Examples of these free thinkers were the Lunar Society of Birmingham (flourished 1765-1809). Its members were exceptional in that they were among the very few who were conscious that an industrial revolution was taking place in Great Britain. They actively worked as a group to encourage it, not least by invesiting in it and conducting scientific experiments whccih led to innovative products.
The transition to industrialisation was not wholly smooth, for in England the Luddites - workers who saw their livelihoods threatened - protested against the process and sometimes sabotaged factories.
Industrialisation also led to the creation of the factory, and was largely responsible for the rise of the modern city, as workers migrated into the cities in search of employment in the factories.

In sociology, industrial society refers to a society with a modern societal structure. Such a structure developed in the west in the period of time following the industrial revolution. Pre-modern or pre-industrial societies are also called agricultural societies.Some theoreticians -- namely Ulrich Beck, Anthony Giddens and Manuel Castells -- argue that we are located in the middle of a transformation or transition from industrian socities to post-modern societies. The triggering technology for the change from an agricultural to an industrial organisation was steam power, allowing mass production and reducing the argicultural work necessary. Identified as catalyst or trigger for the transition to post-modern or informational society is global information technology.

Industry can have one of three meanings:
The term survives in the second sense in the International Standard Industrial Classification and national variants, which identify sectors of economic activity for statistical and national accounting purposes.
- Economically or otherwise productive activity ("For all its brevity, the Wikipedia contribution was the fruit of his industry");
- A particular area of economic production ("the garment industry"), more properly described in non-manufacturing contexts as a sector or subsector; or
- That part of all economic activity comprising mining, manufacturing. construction and utility provision.
The third use of the term is that most likely to be encountered in everyday parlance, though its intended meaning may vary, sometimes coinciding with manufacturing proper, as in "an industrial worker" rather than "a miner" or "a builder".
Industry in the latter sense remains a key sector of production in most countries, contributing perhaps a third of world economic output (more than agriculture's share, but now less than that of the service sector).
Most industrial output remains in the manufacturing sector, especially among developed countries, though construction and mining remain substantial components overall.
