 Pigface , formed by Martin Atkins and including Ministry drummer Bill Rieflin , emerged as an industrial metal collective of sorts , participating with many figures from the noise rock and industrial worlds . Nine Inch Nails , the " one @-@ man @-@ band " formed by Trent Reznor , brought the genre to mainstream audiences with albums such as the Grammy @-@ winning Broken and the best @-@ selling The Downward Spiral , accompanied by their groundbreaking performance at Woodstock ' 94 . The rivethead subculture also developed at this time , along with the so @-@ called " coldwave " subgenre , which encompassed Chemlab , 16 Volt , and Acumen Nation . Some electro @-@ industrial groups adopted industrial metal techniques in this period , including Skinny Puppy ( on the Jourgensen @-@ produced Rabies ) , and Front Line Assembly .
