Having invented the ‘cyber metal’ sound, Fear\nFactory are one of those rare cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormed in Los Angeles in 1990, Fear Factory entered the metal scene with the crushing debut,\n1992’s ‘Soul Of A New Machine’. Combining death metal with an industrial influence, the original\nline up of vocalist Burton C Bell, drummer Raymond Herrera, guitarist Dino Cazares and bassist\nAndrew Shives was onto something that had not been widely explored. Even Fear Factory’s\nearliest sound was immediately distinguishable by Herrera’s intense machine-like drumming and\nBell’s tremendous dual vocal style, which seemed to effortlessly switch between animalistic\ngrowls and clear, operatic tones. Fear Factory had set a new standard in extreme music, a\nstandard they would continue to bear to this very day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1995, Fear Factory would release their second full length album, ‘Demanufacture’, which\nfurther refined Fear Factory’s distinct sound. Herrera’s beats invoked robotic, mechanical\nimagery, while Bell’s lyrics were bleak and ominous. This was also the introduction of bassist\nChristian Olde Wolbers, who would replace Shives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Obsolete’ saw a creative surge in Fear Factory. The album blended the technological themes of\n‘Demanufacture’ with a more cinematic atmosphere while Bell’s vocals reached a new level of\nrefinement. A commercial success, ‘Obsolete’ saw the band breaking into the Top 100 on the\nalbum charts, a headlining spot on the second stage of 1999’s Ozzfest as well as the band’s\ninvolvement in soundtracks to movies like ‘Saw’, ‘Mortal Kombat’ and ‘Resident Evil’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFear Factory fragmented in 2002 and Bell went on to record two albums without Cazares,\n‘Archeytype’ and ‘Trangression’, the latter veering towards alt-rock. The duo finally reunited in\n2009 releasing ‘Mechanize’ (2010) and ‘The Industrialist’ (2012), which both saw a return to\nthe band’s trademark cyber metal sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCo-produced by the band and longtime collaborator Rhys Fulber and mixed by Andy Sneap\n(Megadeth, Machine Head), ‘Genexus’ completes Fear Factory’s resurgence. Songs like ‘Soul\nHacker’ and ‘Anodized’ are classic groove monsters that will have concert halls heaving with\nbodies while the likes of ‘Dielectric’ recall the futuristic frantic thrash of ‘Demanufacture’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklisting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n1.\tAutonomous Combat\u003cbr\u003e\n2.\tSystem\u003cbr\u003e\n3.\tAnodized\u003cbr\u003e\n4.\tDielectric\u003cbr\u003e\n5.\tSoul Hacker\u003cbr\u003e\n6.\tProtomech\u003cbr\u003e\n7.\tGenexus\u003cbr\u003e\n8.\tChurch Of Execution\u003cbr\u003e\n9.\tRegenerate\u003cbr\u003e\n10.\tBattle For Utopia\u003cbr\u003e\n11.\tExpiration Date\u003cbr\u003e\n12.\tMandatory Sacrifice (Genexus Remix) [Bonus Track]\u003cbr\u003e\n13.\tEnhanced Reality [Bonus Track]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recordstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49975217815794,"sku":"727361344702","price":3.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/1621\/5794\/files\/SharedImage-53457.jpg?v=1787636312","url":"https:\/\/recordstero.shop\/products\/genexus-cd","provider":"recordstero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
