    Like guitar-based industrial? You'll most likely dig Gathering of Souls. Like NIN's "Closer to God?" The song "Rust" is a near comparison, with very similar instrumentation and overall vibe. The difference is the guitars are heavier, and Reznor's stuff is a lot more pop. Best of all, the music doesn't use the electronics as a crutch, but an enhancement. In fact, "Keepsake" is driven by acoustic guitar and includes a string arrangement.
