electro-industrial draws on ebm, and developed in the mid-1980s. while ebm has a minimal structure and clean production, electro-industrial has a deep, complex and layered sound. the style was pioneered by skinny puppy, front line assembly, and wumpscut. in the mid-'90s, the style spawned the dark electro and aggrotech offshoots. other artists include haujobb, lab report, and leæther strip.
