    "Where are some more cool industrial bands?" This is a valid question, especially when you think of how darn cool guitar-based industrial music is. There's just not enough cool bands to meet the demand of people with tastes like this. Well, here's an indie band that fits the bill. Not quick to peg themselves as a ministry band, these guys are Christians and, while their identities are simply Frog and Fraud, there is a connection in there to Betrayal and Martyr. This is really good stuff. You'll find musical similarities to Circle of Dust, Klank, and Marilyn Manson here and there (with guitars and vocals, respectively), but they don't sound exactly like any of those artists. Nice sound. The band is giving away cassettes of this four-song album, Be Like Me, so anyone sending them $1 for postage and a self-addressed stamped envelope will get one of these (while supplies last).
