Industrial is the debut album by the band Pitch Shifter. It was released in 1991 on Peaceville Records.

Critics often use this album to compare Pitch Shifter's sound to that of Godflesh. Some have speculated that the face on the cover could be Justin Broadrick of Godflesh.

After 'Industrial' was released the band released a single Death Industrial with two new tracks that would later be released on Submit.

'Industrial' could be considered their heaviest, and most aggressive album to date.
