Ultrawired
''Ultrawired'' is the fourth studio album by Italian industrial rock band Dope Stars Inc. Similar to many of their previous albums and EPs, ''Ultrawired'' was produced by Victor Love.

Industrial Metal
Industrial metal is the fusion of heavy metal and industrial music, typically employing repeating metal guitar riffs, sampling, synthesizer or sequencer lines, and distorted vocals. Prominent industrial metal acts include Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, Rammstein, Godflesh, and Fear Factory. Industrial metal developed in the late 1980s, as industrial and metal began to fuse into a common genre.
