Manufacturer: The End
Formed in Germany in 1994, this industrial rock six-piece gained notoriety when they were found to be fave raves of the Columbine High School killers.

It's easy to understand why Nine Inch Nails became the industrial band to break out of the techno ghetto and win a larger audience.
