Orgy became popular because they did a cover of a popular song. Kind of like Alien Ant Farm became popular for covering Smooth Criminal. The real question is, how did Deadsy become popular? -

I think your timeline may be off a bit. Rammstein had not been around "for forever" by that point. They only had one album out before Sehnsucht. Your assertion that Du Hast took a while to catch on here (over a year) is about correct. But that was about the time that "industrial metal" was kind of taking shape with, them and NIN being popular and such. Now, Rob Zombie, had been around forever (White Zombie), and he kind of did his own thing. I don't consider it techno metal, it had a lot of samples in it but ultimately it was straight up rock / metal. Static-X was heavily influenced by industrial bands like Godflesh, and sort of went with their "Evil Disco" thing but ultimately like most bands at the time leaned towards nu-metal when it became popular. PM5K was just riding on the coattails of Rob Zombie (Since he was his brother) and had to go for that hit song, kind of like a lot of bands at that time did. Just kind of like what simpleG said, catchy music that appealed to the masses, which isn't baffling to me. Static-X is kind of the odd man out here though. They really had no radio exposure or TV exposure. I actually found out about them from the Rob Zombie fan club (if you had the CD) and they sent me a postcard with Wisconsin Death Trip on it. I would say they didn't actually get popular until their second album in 2001 (like I said when Nu-Metal was in full swing) and it was certainly a change in direction and totally inferior to their first album. But for a lot of people it's their favorite. 🤷♀️ -

Thought this thread was going to be about actual techno metal not industrial metal / nu-metal / not even metal like this And yes I remember those bands because I still enjoy a great majority. Rammstein released an album two years ago. Static-X are one of my favorite bands. RIP and they also released an album last year sans Wayne, it was ok. You also had Limp Bizkit on TRL for fucks' sake. Your point being? -
