Since Laibach, most industrial music has a martial edge to it. It is typical to hear a song that uses militant imagery.
Bands like Suicide Commando, Funker Vogt, Feindflug and Panzer AG have martial nominclature equal to thier composition. Although, Dunkelwerk (dark work) doesnt have a name like Grenadier, his music is promoted to the highest rank of this motif.
Most pugelistic electro-industrial has ambiguous imagry, like Funker Vogt. Take Funker Vogt - Prisoners of War, for instance. The song is about a nondescript peoples who are locked in an endless recursive loop of war.
The imagry of Dunkelwerk is literal. It is fought directly on the battlefields of World War 2. Songs like 'Der Sechte Armiee' and 'Dresden', are about the Battle of Stalingrad and the Dresden Firestorm, respectively.
