More bands than one band uses this name: 1) Final Cut is an electronica / (US-)Coldwave-band, founded in the end of the 1980's. The Final Cut has been an international underground electronic music enigma since emerging from the late 80's Detroit underground. Final Cut began when Anthony "Asrock" Srock, then a radio and club DJ, began collaborating with then-unknown techno DJ Jeff Mills.

Mills left for a career of minimal techno and was replaced by drummer and programmer Joseph LaFata. Asrock and LaFata took FC into a more aggressive industrial direction with "I Told You Not To Stop" in the early 90s, with Srock stepping out as frontman and vocalist. The single led to an album deal with Nettwerk Records, home to fellow industrial-and-then-some act Skinny Puppy. The resulting album, 1992s Consumed, evolved the Chicago industrial sound into a more Detroit-bred, bottom-ended sound. The album featured collaborations with Revolting Cocks/Ministry alumni Chris Connelly, Nivek Ogre (Skinny Puppy) and the late William Tucker.
