wow dude, why do you even care if they are not exactly Industrial? If they have similar musical characteristics then there should be not problem getting into them if you have an open mind.
venetian snares, syrian, corabichrist, KMFDM, heaRABcan, spetnaz, reaper, modulate, velvet acid christ, covenant, juno reactor, mindless self indulgence, some nine inch nails (not all of it is industrial techno...but there are a couple)
the only group i can recommend in good conscience are Skinny Puppy, but then this is not my area. Also Infected Mushroom are psytrance, whoever it was that suggested them.
Yeah, certainly a lot of one's music tastes can depend on the circumstances of one's life, or one can simply become saturated with a style and find that there's little more to gain from it.
I've heard KMFDM mentioned a million times and still haven't listened to them yet. They're definitely near the top of my list. I've heard one of TKK's early albums, Kooler Than Jesus, and it was alright ("Devil Bunnies" was kind of clever, haha).
KMFDM had a progression somewhat like Ministry's...in that their early stuff was more synth-based and then they got heavier. I'd recommend you check out Money and Angst, two of my favorites that will show you both sides.
Thrill Kill Kult's Kooker Than Jesus is definitely a cool EP. I like their first two albums, I See Good Spirits & I See Bad Spirits and Confessions of a Knife as well, but after that they got too glam for me (for the most part, I still like some songs).

Unrelated to those, if you like Ministry and RevCo I hope you've heard Pailhead's EP Trait and Lard's LP The Last Temptation of Reid. If not, I'd rush out and get those.
