Throbbing Gristle

Throbbing Gristle is an avant garde industrial music band that formed out of the band COUM Transmissions performing what they branded collective arts. They are thought to have been the first industrial music group.

Throbbing Gristle began their career with live shows, highlighted with images of pornography and Nazi concentration camps. The defended their position with these images saying "challenge and explore the darker and obsessive sides of the human condition rather than to make attractive music." The group stayed together from 1971 to 1981, and reunited in 2004.
