Check out rec.music.industrial for info on these guys.  They're always in
there somewhere.

I know that Ogre sings most of the songs and Key and Geottel work on most
of the programming (I believe).  To the best of my knowledge, they don't
use guitars or drums.  Everything is basically synthesized and whatever isn't
is probably a sample from another band (for example KMFDM uses alot of Slayer
riffs in their stuff).  I can't recall for sure if SP uses some or not so I
won't say.

They also use a lot of samples from horror movies and other stuff.  If any
of you guys are interested, their album -Rabies- is the closest thing that
they have done to sounding like more of a metal/industrial crossover.
A lot of the industrialists don't like this album because of that.  They think
that Al Jourgensen's contributions ruined this album.

Try to get a listed to "Tin Omen" (on Rabies) this song will probably send some 
of you to the wonderful world of industrial.  I'm a big fan of industrial as
well as metal so I know what sound you guys are probably after.

Here's some suggestions:

Pitch Shifter -Submit
Skrew -Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame
Ministry -The Land of Rape and Honey,The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste.
Revolting Cocks -Stainless Steel Providers
1000 HOMO DJ's -Supernaut
Lard -The Last Temptation of Reid
Pailhead -Trait

Look into some of this stuff.  You won't be disappointed!

-Chris
