VNV Nation

This Irish-English duo (those letters stand for Victory Not Vengeance) designated their hybrid of aggressive EBM and the more Teutonic end of ’80s synthpop as "futurepop" in 2002, but nowadays, the industrial influences sounds definitively retro. Regardless of where you place the aesthetics temporally, though, you're sure to find the band's theatrical live set to be an intense body-moving throwdown.
