Switzerland (1985 – present)
The Young Gods are an electronic/industrial band, formed in Switzerland in 1985. Current and past members include Franz Treichler (lead vocals), Alain Monod (a.k.a Al Comet) and Cesare Pizzi (keyboards) and Frank Bagnoud, Use Hiestand and Bernard Trontin (drums).
They are generally considered to have been about 20 years ahead of their times, generating music that could still be considered on the bleeding edge today (due to the reliance on samples and sequencers, their concerts sound pretty much the same today as they did then). Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails), Ministry, and David Bowie have cited them as major influences.

Eighties industrial stuff... no, eighties stuff in general can date quite badly. Geez, I like them but this is such a ridiculous overstatement.

i really love this band, but who ever wrote the bio is over stating how "They are generally considered to have been about 20 years ahead of their times, generating music that could still be considered on the bleeding edge today (due to the reliance on samples and sequencers, their concerts sound pretty much the same today as they did then)." come on... there were other bands doing it to... 1987? there were other bands doing it too around that time. HOWEVER!! they did f#cking rule. that L’Eau Rouge album is one of my favorites of all time. that first track La Fille De La Mort is so damn EPIC!! i love it.
