[[Richie Unterberger]] assessed the [[Red Krayola]] as "a precursor to industrial rock"<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-red-krayola-mn0000417607/biography | title=The Red Krayola Biography, Songs, & Albums | website=[[AllMusic]] }}</ref> with their 1967 record ''[[The Parable of Arable Land]]'' exhibiting music made by 50 people on anything from [[Power tool|industrial power tools]] to a [[motorcycle|revving motorcycle]] whilst [[Pitchfork (website)|''Pitchfork''<nowiki/>'s]] Alex Lindhart cited their 1968 follow up ''[[God Bless the Red Krayola and All Who Sail With It]]'' as being "bootleg [[Einstürzende Neubauten]] at its grimiest [[atonality]]". [[AllMusic]] critic Alex Henderson has stated that [[experimental music|experimental]] group [[Cromagnon (band)|Cromagnon]]'s 1969 record ''[[Orgasm (Cromagnon album)|Orgasm]]'' foreshadowed the industrial rock sound.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/orgasm-mw0000619006|title= Cromagnon: Orgasm|work=[[AllMusic]]|access-date=May 17, 2020|first=Alex |last=Henderson}}</ref> Specifically, Pitchfork's Zach Baron noted their song "Caledonia" for its "pre-industrial stomp".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pitchfork.com/features/staff-lists/6400-the-200-greatest-songs-of-the-1960s/2/|title=The 200 Greatest Songs of the 1960s|work=[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]]|access-date=20 February 2017|first=Zach|last=Baron|archive-date=April 9, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100409185412/http://pitchfork.com/features/staff-lists/6400-the-200-greatest-songs-of-the-1960s/2/|url-status=dead}}</ref> [[Krautrock]] musicians [[Michael Rother]] and [[Klaus Dinger]] included industrial noise on their track "Negativland" (from their 1972 debut ''[[Neu!

Industrial rock was created in the mid- to late 1970s, amidst the [[punk rock]] revolution and [[disco]] fever.  Prominent early industrial musicians include [[Throbbing Gristle]], [[Cabaret Voltaire (band)|Cabaret Voltaire]], [[Boyd Rice|NON]], [[SPK (band)|SPK]] and [[Z'EV]].<ref>Vale & Juno, 1983.</ref> Many other artists have been cited as influences such as [[Kraftwerk]], [[Gary Numan]], and [[Tubeway Army]] as well as [[Einstürzende Neubauten]] and [[Fad Gadget]]. Many other musical performers were incorporating industrial music elements into a variety of musical styles.

Some [[post-punk]] performers developed styles parallel to industrial music's defining attributes. [[Pere Ubu]]'s debut, ''[[The Modern Dance]]'', was described by Jim Irvin as "industrial",<ref>Irvin, 2001, p. 442.</ref> and [[Chris Connelly (musician)|Chris Connelly]] said the musical project [[Foetus (band)|Foetus]] was "the instigator when it comes to the marriage of machinery to [[hardcore punk]]."<ref name=connelly>Connelly, 2007, p. 12.</ref> Music journalist [[Simon Reynolds]] considered [[Killing Joke]], which saw mainstream success with their 1985 album ''[[Night Time (album)|Night Time]]'',<ref>{{cite web |title=UK albums charts – killing Joke |url=http://www.theofficialcharts.com/artist/_/killing%20joke/#albums |work=theofficialcharts.com |access-date=9 January 2020}}</ref> "a post-punk version of [[Heavy metal music|heavy metal]]."<ref name=kj>Reynolds, 2005, p. 435.</ref>

Others followed in their wake.<ref>Chantler, 2002, p. 54.</ref> The New York City band [[Swans (band)|Swans]] were inspired by the local [[no wave]] scene, as well as punk rock, [[noise music]] (particularly [[Whitehouse (band)|Whitehouse]]) and the original industrial groups.<ref name=swans>Licht, 2003, p. 32.</ref> [[Steve Albini]]'s [[Big Black]] followed a similar path,<ref>Blush, 2001, p. 222.</ref> while also incorporating American [[hardcore punk]].<ref name=black>Sharp, 1999, p. 48.</ref> Big Black has also been closely associated with [[post-hardcore]] and [[noise rock]], though their ties to industrial music are extremely apparent. The Swiss trio [[The Young Gods]], who deliberately eschewed electric guitars in favor of a [[sampler (musical instrument)|sampler]],<ref>Mörat, 1992, p. 12.</ref> also took inspiration from both hardcore and industrial.<ref>Stud & Stud, 1987, p. 27.</ref> In 1986, Canadian band [[Skinny Puppy]] released the album ''[[Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse]]'',<ref>{{cite web|last1=DiGravina|first1=Tim|title=Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/mind-the-perpetual-intercourse-mw0000200383|website=[[AllMusic]]|access-date=9 January 2020|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160701020816/http://www.allmusic.com/album/mind-the-perpetual-intercourse-mw0000200383|archive-date=1 July 2016}}</ref> with its lead single, "[[Dig It (Skinny Puppy song)|Dig It]]", seeing frequent airplay on [[MTV]].<ref>{{cite web|title=1986 Rock Music Timeline|url=http://www.rockmusictimeline.com/1986.html|website=Rock Music Timeline|publisher=rockmusictimeline.com|access-date=9 January 2020}}</ref> The song was a major influence on [[Nine Inch Nails]] founder [[Trent Reznor]], who used it as inspiration when writing his first song, "[[Down in It]]".<ref name="NIN Spin 1996">{{Cite magazine|last=Weisbard|first=Eric|date=February 1996|title=Sympathy for the Devil|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=td2yO_T3DPEC&pg=PA34|publisher=Spin Media LLC|volume=11|issue=11|pages=34–42, 96|issn=0886-3032|access-date=9 January 2020|magazine=[[Spin (magazine)|Spin]]|via=Google Books}}</ref>{{rp|38}}
