I'm with Chris. This subgenre can be really cringy. Mainly because the focus is more on the metal and the electronics are an afterthought. Simple loops and sequences. I want to hear real noise and chaos seeping in.
However I present I, Parasite:
https://iparasite.bandcamp.com/album/the-sick-are-not-healingListen to The Stone Doctor. Was one of my favourite songs to play live, because my synths and the guitarists would just fight to make more noise than the other. That's what I look for in industrial metal.
That said, I love Fear Factory, Godflesh, Samael, Cubanate, KMDFM/MFDMK. I really enjoyed the German coldwave stuff in the 90s- Coptic Rain, Swamp Terrorists, Think About Mutation. Can't forget 16 Volt, Hate Dept, and our friend Out Out!
But what is happening NOW that is good? I have no idea.
