Well that depends a little, industrial in itself isn't actually a music genre but rather a definition of certain elements found in a song. I read an awesome essay about that once, I will try to find it again. Bottom-line is that today, what people think of when one says "industrial metal" is simply metal with electronic elements. Laibach is electronic, but they don't have solos or any other metal elements really, unlike Rammstein (which also doesn't have many solos, but nontheless is a metal band). Then again, categorizing within metal is one hell of a chore, and according to the wiseasses at www.metal-archives.com, anything with keyboards in it is false metal [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
Edit: On a separate note, does anyone know why Tool suddenly released two DVD singles from their 2001 album? Really weird business trick...
