Industrial music is a loose term for a number of different styles of Experimental music, especially but not necessarily Electronic music.

Industrial Records was perhaps even more important in P-Orridge's attack on the public consciousness than his band. Whereas contemporary Punk Rock bands were instantly co-opted into the music business, providing product for the teen-rebellion and fashion markets, Industrial Records output resolutely refused to compromise their stance, even to the audience they attracted.

Other artists released through the label included Clock DVA and The Leather Nun, plus outrage artist Monte Cazazza, the author William S. Burroughs and a solo album by TG member Chris Carter. Clock DVA is an Industrial music / Post-Punk group from Sheffield, England.

Marketing was purposely anti-commercial, ironic and propagandist. P-Orridge pointedly noted that gratuitous content was a commonplace in entertainment marketing and questioned why his use of pornography, sado-masochism and genocide should be objectional in the light of their being a pointer to existing, and acceptable, ploys within the industry. Disturbing and thought-provoking imagery and packaging complemented Industrial Records output: TG's debut LP was limited to 786 copies and came in bootleg packaging, a plain white card sleeve with glued-on xerox information strips; the Industrial Records logo appears to be a stark black and white depiction of the chimney at Auschwitz death camp - industry at its darkest - but is in fact a low-definition photo of the Tate Modern art museum in the U.

The label served to provide a record of the industry of Throbbing Gristle and their label-mates and by the time of its dissolution was one of the most successful British independent labels, boasting full-page ads in music weeklies and unfailingly selling out its limited edition releases. Fittingly, a TG 'greatest hits' album was subtitled Entertainment Through Pain.

Throbbing Gristle disbanded in 1981, with P-Orridge moving on to form Psychic TV.
