Puncture

Puncture was formed in 1992 by then-Gammacide guitarist Rick Perry, stemming from his desire to pursue something in a more techno/industrial direction, with early live lineups featuring (among others) Solitude Aeturnus guitarist John Perez. They embodied the term "industrial metal" as well as any band in the field, as their music has all the trademarks of said genre -- programmed drums, heavy guitar riffing, heavily distorted/treated vocals, and various sampling effects. On the plus side, the songs are executed well, as they display just the right amount of aggression without being dreary or heavy-handed. On the minus side, songs tend to get samey, and they never really stray far from the basic premise. This band might have developed into something special given a bit more time, but they broke up in late 1999.
