I'm looking to expand my ever growing list of industrial bands, I will note a few that are my favorites to give a good idea of what I am looking for. I am aware of the current band suggestion threads, but they seem to be lacking a certain organization and I don't care to search through pages and pages just to find one or two bands that I may or may not like. So, I made this as specific as possible. So without any further ado here is a generalization.

Psyclon Nine
Columbine
Bile
Skinny Puppy
Funker Vogt
Godhead
Slick Idiot
Zeromancer
Die Krupps
Combichrist
Velvet Acid Christ
Deathstars
Suicide Commando
Hanzel Und Gretyl
Angelspit
Dawn of Ashes
Frontline Assembly
Haujobb
Imperative Reaction
Die Sektor
Sybreed
The Retrosic
Life Cride
Razed In Black
Dope Stars Inc.
KMFDM
Ministry
NIN
Mushroomhead
Ventana
Fashion Bomb
Marazene

Any and all suggestions will be appreciated, and please don't post unless you are a fan of this side of the goth culture because I don't sit here and spend my time doing this just for you to make your snide remarks. Once again, if you have any bands you wish to throw in then you are more than welcome. Thank you.

Lazy.

For industrial/ EBM:

Gothminister

VNV Nation

Aesthetic Perfection

Assemblage 23
That is all I have at the moment, I have plenty of power and folk metal though...

*runs away in shame for only knowing 4 Industrial/EBM bands off the top of my head*

Good choice for the VNV link, Illusion is so sad

Yes it is, but From My Hands is much sadder. It is hard for me to hear it without getting emotional.

Eric gave some good recommendations, I'll try to break it down.....

Generally, there are many different subgenres of industrial, almost as many as goth, and EBM is a completely different genre, but as we all know, many intersections have taken place since the early 80s, so here goes:

I see you like Skinny Puppy, who were one of the most famous bands for hybridizing industrial with EBM and other dance-based music, so some of their contemporaries include:
Clock DVA
Cabaret Voltaire
Portion Control
Die Form
Kirlian Camera
(early)Psyche
Einsturzende Neubauten
The Klinik
some of Depeche Mode's more industrial material

ols school industrial (be aware, many of these bands overlap with the dark ambient, noise, and experimental scenes, which may or may not be your taste):
Throbbing Gristle
Coil
Psychic TV
(early) Current 93
SPK
Diamanda Galas
Nurse With Wound
Lustmord
Merzbow
Zoviet France
Controlled Bleeding
Boyd Rice/NON
Radio Werewolf(known to have nazi beliefs)
Rasthof Dachau
Hafler Trio
Esplendor Geometrico
Zero Kama/Korpses Katatonik
Test Dept.
Z'ev
Premature Ejaculation
Hybryds

Early industrial bands who overlap with the goth/darkwave scene:
In the Nursery
Attrition

No Wave:
Swans
Sonic Youth
Teenage Jesus and the Jerks
Lydia Lunch
Jarboe

Power Electronics/Death Industrial:
Whitehouse
Sutcliffe Jugend
Brighter Death Now
Atrax Morgue
Grey Wolves
Anenzephalia
Genocide Organ
Melek-tha
Lucisferrato
Inanna
Mz.412
Nordvargr
Folkstorm

Martial industrial:
Laibach(early to mid-era)
Autopsia
In Slaughter Natives
Der Blutharsch
Derniere Volonte
Von Thronstahl
Blood Axis
A Challenge of Honour
Les Joyeaux de la Princesse
Die Weisse Rose
March of Heroes
Puissance
Omnicore(newer)
Days of the Trumpet Call
H.E.R.R.(known to have nazi beliefs)
Sturmast
Bleiburg
The Protagonist
Rose Rovine e Amanti
Majdanek Waltz

Old school EBM:
Kraftwerk(coined the term)
Suicide
D.A.F.
Absolute Body Control
Front 242
Nitzer Ebb

Electro industrial:
you've already got Skinny Puppy, FLA, wumpscut, Haujobb, Leaether Strip, etc. and those comprise the classics, so I would just have to recommend yelworC to top it off, one of the better "new school dark electro" acts, along with some of the earlier Hocico material, before they became aggrotech.
Also, Oneiroid Psychosis, Android Lust, Deathwatch Beetle Repairman, and I, Parasite.
Also, side projects/contemporaries of FLA/SP, like Noise Unit, Tear Garden, and Download, though they are much more experimental.

Aggrotech:
I admit, I don't really like this genre, though I could recommend some of the more melodious bands, like Siva Six, Alien Vampires, Amduscia, Obszon Geschopf, Heimataerde, or Psychonaut 75, who started out ritual/occult dark ambient, and crossed over into aggrotech with their last 2 albums.

Industrial metal:
You've already got Ministry and Die Krupps, so I suppose I should say no industrial metal collection is complete without some Godflesh!!!
Their other projects, Head of David(pre-Godflesh), and Jesu(more experimental project) are worth checking out as well.
I suppose Foetus also falls into this category.

Neue Deutsche Harte:
Rammstein
Oomph
Megaherz
Eisbrecher
Unheilig
ASP
Umbra Et Imago
Tanzwut(hybrid of NDH and Mittelalter, side project of Corvus Corax)

^^ If you don't mind me breaking your rule just a little, Crow... Holy crap! That's one heck of a list! I'm severely impressed by its range.

Would it be totally stupid to contribute Project Pitchfork, as nobody has mentioned them yet? If so, I apologise...

Yeah I know I just wanted to make sure people were getting the idea. I know not all of them are considered "actual industrial" but they are quite close.

Actually I have seen Project Pitchfork mentioned in a few other threads and from what I gather they aren't everyone's favorite but I looked them up and I thought they were quite decent.

I love vnv and assemblage thanks for the links though

Here's a good song I recommend,
Crush by 16 Volt

Hmm...

If you like Skinny Puppy, you might like: Enduser

And One is a band who sound kind of like Depeche Mode, but a bit more towards the Industrial...and in German, primarily.

Somewhat like Rammstein, but much, much better and often considered "Industrial": Eisbrecher (I particularly like "Kann Denn Liebe Sunde Sein")

You might like Megaherz. I'm not sure what you would call them, but they fit in with my Industrial tracks just fine. I especially love their song Allez nur Luge, which is almost like Sonne by Rammstein, but a bit noisier and not really like Rammstein.

You might like Samael.

Anything beyond those I'm drawing a blank. I listen to a lot of things. =/ I hope you like my suggestions. (Bear in mind, I did not include any bands already mentioned, even if I listen to them.)

I think And One sounds more like the Cruxshadows. The songs I heard from both were similar.
