In an effort to gather information on the most dark, heavy, industrial and ambient techno around, I would be interested in those would would offer something to the table.

Currently I am aware of SNTS, Codex... any other suggestions?

Oh look another techno monkey in a fucking hood and mask.
An insult to the ideals of industrial music in every way in that the costume is a cliche and the opposite of anonymity as it is used to create hype.
The music sounds like yet another generic Rrose rip off, lacking any uniquity, when the ethos of industrial was to do what is not being done, to actively walk away from the herd. So that's another strike there.
And it's about as dark as a day out in legoland in the height of summer whilst dressed as a sunflower.
Essentially, about as industrial as Justin Timberlake.

So on that basis, literally any other techno could be considered the "darkest industrial ever".

Or to be more serious, what you are referencing is drone techno.

For industrial techno try looking at the back catalogue of Ant Zen and Hymen. Early Makatons on Rodz. You can probably throw BMB in there. Zhark. From there you can find further references and paths in to the pit.
And no stupid masks to found.

I don't mind snts but I would never call it "industrial" -- seems like that term is getting thrown around a lot to describe some pretty generic stuff, kinda like "Ebm"

SNTS is one of the "I release on vinyl only" guys. So I don't give a fuck. Fuck vinyl.

2 different faces, that was the album.
I supported them\her at an industrial gig here in London in 2005 and they played this live.
Tore the place apart on a big clean soundsystem.

Yeah! Great album! I own that CD. Sadly she didn't release more after this one.
I think there are more Hymen than Ant-Zen releases in my collection:
Xanopticon, Gridlock, Lusine Icl, Hecq, Architect, Somatic Responses etc.

Still need to buy Sonar - Cut Us Up. Diiiiiiiissszzzzzzttooorrtionz :lol:

the most funny about all this is that supposedly SNTS is unam zetineb, not official but heard lots of people say it AND unam is known for sampling other techno artists i know at least XHIN came public with it. this happened some years ago, and now he's playing with a fucking mask, i wonder why...

Oh man, unam\benitez got run out years back for sampling and copying people.
He even did it to me and I confronted him directly. He said it was "paying homage".
Twat.
That would explain the rather derivative sound of SNTS if it is him.

This has to be a qualifier from back in the day.

From a techno perspective there are many levels I think to industrial techno, crossing over into tribal and acid for starters? Maybe?

I'm pleased that there are other fellow followers of actual industrial in the forum.

That's hilarious if it's true!

I watched some of his Boiler Room "Live Set", which is him playing other peoples tracks on Traktor with a TR-8. Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought a live set was playing your own material live..at least that's what I'd wanna see when I see someone live!

You are correct in pointing out the utter bullshit of calling that a live set.
