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.

Last time they were around back in 2005 I ended up not being able to see them, and I figured it wouldn't be a big deal and that they'd come back around the year after... low and behold it's now 2010 and I still haven't had the pleasure.

Eh well Byron has been on the last couple records anyway (and the bass in FF just follows the guitar anyhow) and while Raymond Herrera is one of my all-time favorite drummers (and was definitely a signature part of the band), Gene Hoglan is one the most talented guys out there, he is just awesome and he does a great job. Mechanize was fantastic. Can't stop listening to it... and I can't wait to see them live.

If the whole of Digimortal was like Linchpin it would have been a masterpiece as was Demanufacture and Obsolete,album is ok not great like them,sorry but for me Fear Factory isn’t one without Dino..you can blatantly hear something is missing...those Distinctive Cazares riffs, bobbing riffs, lots of riffs.
