Fear Factory is an American heavy metal band. The band formed in 1989 and have released seven full-length albums and a number of singles and remixes. Over the course of their career they have evolved from a succession of styles, as well as steadily pioneered a combination of the styles death metal, groove metal, thrash metal and industrial metal. The resultant sound proved to be enormously influential on the metal scene from the mid-90s and onwards. Their most recent album, Transgression, described as a more experimental and atypical effort, has also contained elements of pop music and progressive metal.
Fear Factory disbanded in March 2002 following some internal disputes, but they reformed later that year minus founding member Dino Cazares adding bassist, Byron Stroud, and casting then-bassist Christian Olde Wolbers as guitarist.
The band has toured with the likes of Black Sabbath, Pantera, Iron Maiden, Slayer, System of a Down, Megadeth, Dream Theater, Mastodon, Misery Index and Rammstein; performed at three Ozzfests as well as the inaugural Gigantour and has had singles in the US Mainstream Rock Top 40 and albums in the Billboard Top 40, 100 and 200. They are currently in the pre-production stages of the recording of a new full-length album and, for the time being, are functioning independent of a record label. Prior to 2001 they have toured around 2000 shows. They have sold over 1 million albums in the U.S. alone.

Invisible Wounds (Dark Bodies) is a great song, usually don't listen to metal but these guys kick ass. When I was younger I used to listen to em quite a lot!

My rearranged tracklisting for Transgression... 1 - 540,000 2 - Transgression 3 - Empty Vision 4 - Moment of Impact 5 - Contagion 6 - Supernova 7 - My Grave 8 - New Promise 9 - Spinal Compression 10 - Millenium 11 - Empire 12 - Echoes of My Scream 13 - I Will Follow (Sorta as a bonus track) Listen to Transgression with that tracklisting and I guarantee that you'll love it.

Hey Riktenkay, I really enjoyed Transgression a lot too. I liked how they experimented a little on that album and I think its even better now looking back on it because it seems like their next cd is going to the classic FF sound again so Transgression is really cool in contrast. If you change the tracklisting around it makes the cd ten times stronger

To me, Divine Heresy was what Fear Factory was suppose to be (KINDA) if Dino was still in the band.

But that can be "Divine Heresy" II... Anyway, Archetype wasn't bad

Phobophilia wrote:
New album will be "bomb" because of Dino is back in the band. They sound like their olden selves, given the fact that Herrera isn't in. Hoglan is a very decent fill in, however. It'll be a great album :)

San_Gia wrote:
Oh, please, you're just celebrating the new album because there's Gene "Fat-Boy" Hoglan. He's a monster drummer, but his style is different to herrera's. Then, Imho, the new album will suck compared to Obsolete or Demanufacture.
