There are 3 artists named Black Lung:

(1) An electronic and industrial music project by Australian musician David Thrussell, also known for his industrial band Snog and the more ambient Soma;

(2) a punk rock band from Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia.

(3) a Southern Rock/Metal band from Whitesburg, Kentucky.

The first Black Lung album, 1994’s Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars, was mostly composed of instrumental tracks taken from Snog’s first album Lies Inc. and the Hey, Christian God single. A year later, the album was also released on Germany’s Machinery Records as Silent Weapons for Silent Wars, although Thrussell disowned this release due to the incorrect title, changes made to the artwork, and the fact that the tracks were in the wrong order, destroying the album’s continuity. Several more albums followed in subsequent years, eventually outpacing the number of albums Thrussell was releasing as Snog.

In 1999, Thrussell collaborated with John Sellekaers from Xingu Hill to produce the 10” EP The Andronechron Incident, purportedly a soundtrack for an obscure Italian science fiction film. A full-length CD of the same title, containing many more additional tracks, was released in 2002.

Thematically, Thrussell has used the project as an opportunity to indulge his fascination with conspiracy theories, with many album and track titles being references to conspiracies, such as Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars or RHIC EDOM. The albums’ liner notes frequently contain essays on various esoteric subjects, excerpted from conspiracy books or written by Thrussell himself.

I recommend The Coming Dark Age, it's barely ambient at all; it's almost like rave music at parts, but still experimental and noisy enough to keep your attention. Definitely not minimal, either.

It is musicians and artists that reflect the societies they are in, but it is more than that, they shape it. Not all musicians, nor all artists do this, but Black Lung is one of those that do.
