That’s just it. Nitzer Ebb are a UK band. I don’t know how/why they came up with Nitzer Ebb, but my theory is they wanted it sound German.

Actually, I’m pretty sure they are from the UK.

Good call on MBM! Their early Wax Trax! stuff would easily qualify. The Helter Skelter/Radio Babylon 12″ was one of my favorite “industrial” releases ever.

Perhaps you could also add Meat Beat Manifesto to that select group of Industrial bands from England. Sure, they weren’t ALWAYS Industrial, but there’s no doubt that a bunch of their earlier stuff would fit into that ‘category’…

Right. Since Throbbing Gristle, who are often cited as the godfathers of the genre
are from the UK, you would think that the UK would have had a big head start by the
80s and 90s…which reminds me, I need to post something from the Throbbing Gristle
show I saw last year.

Short of the pioneers like Coil, Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle, I have a hard time thinking of any UK bands either. Clock DVA and Test Dept were both from the UK but neither were as huge as Nitzer Ebb.
