Skinny Puppy
NIN
Informatik
KMFDM
Clan of Xymox
Haujobb
Assemblage 23
Covenant
VNV Nation
Din Fiv
Evil's Toy
Front Line Assembly
Icon of Coil
PIG
Project Pitchfork
Wumpscut
Wolfsheim
Ikon
De/Vision

and lots more but I'm not going to name them all.

I'll be looking up some of these soon :D

Other than some of the ones you mentioned:
pigface
skold
Thrill Kill Cult
Download

And probably a bunch of others that I can't think of at the moment. :p

Don't really listen to industrial anymore, but I used to love Thrill Kill Kult. Nothing like playing "Ride The Mindway" while flying down the freeway.... :D

Used to listen to a lot of:

Skinny Puppy (rest in peace Dwayne :( )
Download
NIN
Frontline Assembly
KMFDM
Project Pitchfork

My wife was involved in the Goth scene for years before we got married and still listens to a lot of VNV Nation and whatnot. I get nostalgic now and then and pull out some of the CDs I used to listen to like Tactical Neural Implant or Io.

I remember wearing my Skinny Puppy shirt in high school (the Meek Tweek Baby shirt) and everybody was always going "WTF is Skinny Puppy?".... :D

Nowadays, I listen to more trance/house/ambient/trip-hop than anything else. Guess I've mellowed in my old age (if 23 is considered old) and I'm no longer an angry teenager. ;)

EDIT: How could I forget Leather Strip?

Sent ya a PM since I'm not a regular, but I forgot one and wanted to add it and figured why not :)

Velvet Acid Christ (very dark themes)
Funker Vogt (more mainstream club with oftentimes KMFDM sounding vocals (Sascha shouting) also has close ties with VAC)
Neuroactive (Finnish 2 man project, programmer is good - some similar to VNV Nation, but they get a bit more aggressive)
Neuroticfish (one man project from Germany, VERY VNV Nation sounding)
Circle Of Dust (this was Klayton's first band before Celldweller although he's worked on many other pojects as well)
Slick Idiot (Guenter and Esch from KMFDM, I loved En Esch's vocals in KMFDM and had to follow where he went)
En Esch (En Esch released a solo album entitled Cheesy, it's pretty good)
Argyle Park (Another Klayton project)
Bio-Tek (they have some bad songs, they've some pretty decent ones too..probably half of them are good enough to listen to)
Collapsed System (not familiar with their background, I've 4 mp3s - like them all)
Uranium 235 (Vocalist kinda moans like Reznor, screams on some tracks but not too bad)
Sister Machine Gun (can't believe I forgot 'm in my PM)
Crossbreed (some is just straight up electronic most have some distorted guitars at the least, vocals are kinda mediocre I think)
Aghast View (similarities to VAC but the level of talent is nowhere near, few good tracks that I've found though)

Opinions, not facts...will probably add more as I come across 'm in my playlist

Skinny Puppy. Been listening to them since 1986, still have the entire discography and listen to it daily in my car.
Ive seen most of their shows when they came through Houston.

There is no such thing as arcology music. Bdawg was making a reference to SimCity as a joke.

SilverThief, you should checkout the Ohgr CD (album is Welt) since it's Ogre from Skinnypuppy..and there's another that comes to mind! :)

That is of course if you haven't already ;)

My fav dark wave band: rhea's obsession.. GREAT stuff (with a nice eastern influence).. Metalblade records has a few nice darkwave/industrial bands.. btw you can find a duet with the lead singer from spahn ranch and the lead singer from rhea's out there somewhere..
