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.
In April 2009, a new lineup was announced with founding guitarist Cazares returning, and Gene Hoglan being added as drummer. Bell and Stroud are both reprising their respective roles, and the band has completed a studio album, Mechanize.

I have to say that this album is one of the best things they have put out in years. I've already listened to it more than I listened to Trangression in the entire time that is was out. The drums are not as intense, and I think they could drive the music a bit more. But, my mind must always think critically. It's a nice vocal performance too.

I hope I hear live material for the new songs. Mechanize, Industrial Discipline, Oxidizer and Designing The Enemy would be great hearing live. :)

Mechanize slays, it's way beyond amazing. Dino's riffs mixed with Gene's drums sound tight as fuck, but the important thing here is that Fear Factory is dead to TheFecundComing. I mean, i can imagine Burton Bell crying ¨oh no!!! a basement dweller doesn't like us anymore!!! Holy shit, Dino, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITHOUT THEFECUNDCOMING'S APPROVAL????¨
