9. Monolithic Industrial Metal from NYC
Formed in 1992 by members of hardcore punk bands Nausea and Born Against, Sin only released one album as a split with UK’s Spine Wrench entitled “No Rest For The Wicked.” Sin played a very distinct style akin to early Godflesh and Pitchshifter. The band split that same year, but core members reformed in 1993 under the guise of Cattle Press, playing hardcore punk.
