lots of industrialish stuff in the wake of NIN that got sorta this treatment, but not enough hype to get them a number imo (lookin at you spahn ranch, etc.)

(stabbing westward & filter?)

Filter was actually successful, though
Stabbing Westward... well they had their fans
― bang (HI DERE), Thursday, 23 September 2010 17:38 (fifteen years ago)
those were both reasonably large bands with hits, HGN.

Actually maybe Sister Machine Gun and/or Machines of Loving Grace are the best examples of what jjj's talking about?
― bang (HI DERE), Thursday, 23 September 2010 17:39 (fifteen years ago)
Stabbing Westward had a couple of big radio songs on the first record.

Gravity Kills maybe? I dunno, that kind of stuff is never really hyped over here (NIN aside, obv).

I thought you guys were old enough to fall for the non-false industrial that scraped the barrel, lol

actually Stabbing Westward's major singles were on their second album. "Ungod" was the first one, and didn't have any. So that's even more a suggestion that the hype helped build them from unknown to MTV darlings methinks.

essentially the years between 1988 and 1996 were essentially one long industrial freefall combined with rave/trip-hop/new jack swing detours

i must confess, i got the 1st stabbing westward album. I have never heard a single thing that came after it. They had no hit albums here.

Kittie were reasonably big (not huge or anything), but the second album did a good job of finishing them off.

I remember them because they were especially traumatic -- I had to miss a Red Wings play-off game to drive my sister to their concert.
