Fear Factory is an American 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.
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.Former members Christian Olde
Wolbers and Raymond Herrera (both currently playing in
Arkaea) dispute the legitimacy of the new lineup, and
a legal battle is underway from both parties.
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. Prior
to 2001 they have toured around 2000 shows. They have sold over
1 million albums in the
U.S. alone.
History
The early years
Fear
Factory's roots lie in an outfit formed by guitarist Dino Cazares (formerly of The Douche
Lords) and drummer Raymond
Herrera in Los
Angeles
, California
in 1989. Their first line-up was completed
with the addition of vocalist
Burton
C. Bell (ex-
Hate Face),
allegedly recruited by an impressed Cazares upon overhearing him
singing
New Year's Day by
U2 in the shower at a common boarding. Cazares
played bass on the first 3 Fear Factory albums Concrete, Soul of a
New Machine and Demanufacture.
They started out under the name
Ulceration,
apparently picked for no real reason other than that Burton C.
Bell
and/or other members thought it would "just be a cool name" for the
band, but they subsequently shifted to Fear
Factory in 1990; the new moniker being more reflective of
their burgeoning new death metal sound,
influenced just as much by early British
industrial metal, industrial music and grindcore as much as it continued to remain firmly
rooted in a conservative extreme metal
approach; a facet of their music that eventually saw the band’s
appeal spread out over a wider music audience.
The earliest demo recordings of the band are strongly reminiscent
of the early works of
Napalm Death and
also
Godflesh, an acknowledged influence of
the band, in the grindcore driven approach of the former and the
mechanical brutality, bleakness and vocal stylings of the latter.
The demos are remarkable for integrating these influences into
their death metal sound and for Burton C. Bell’s pioneering fusion
of extreme
death growls and
clean vocals in the same song, which was to
become a significant and influential element of the band’s sound
throughout their career. The use of grunts and "throat singing"
combined with clean vocals has later defined the
nu metal and newer genres of metal. Many vocalists,
in today's metal scene, use two or more methods of singing and
vocalizing lyrics. The band contributed two songs to the
L.A. Death Metal Compilation in 1990. They played
their first show on Wednesday, October 31, 1990.
Concrete
In 1991, Fear Factory proceeded to record a series of cuts to
comprise their debut album with the then relatively unknown
producer,
Ross Robinson in
Blackie Lawless’ studio. However, due to the
band being unhappy with the terms of their recording contract, the
material was not released at the time.
They retained the rights to the songs, however, many of which they
re-recorded with a different producer,
Colin Richardson, for inclusion on their
actual debut release
Soul of a New Machine, in 1992.
Meanwhile, Ross Robinson obtained the rights to the recording,
which he used to promote himself, subsequently finding enormous
success during the
nu metal explosion of
the mid-late 90s when he worked with bands such as
Korn,
Limp Bizkit and
Slipknot; ironically, bands that had
little in common with the Fear Factory of 1991. The recording
itself was eventually given an official release through
Roadrunner Records in 2002 under the
title
Concrete during the band’s interim demise. It was
seen as a controversial release, being issued out of the band’s
outstanding contractual obligations and without the approval of all
of the band’s members.
Although fan opinion has been divided over whether the Ross
Robinson production properly captures the intricacies of the band’s
sound, with the finished product favoring a more straight-up brutal
approach and Robinson’s distinct drum sound, the “secret” album has
nevertheless become an important document for fans of the early
Fear Factory sound and can be seen as a bridge between the band’s
sound on their demo recordings and that on their debut release,
Soul of a New Machine as well as a source of the
blueprints for some of the band’s later songs and
b-sides.
Based on the
Concrete recording,
Max Cavalera recommended them to the then death
metal focused Roadrunner Records label, who proceeded to offer them
a
recording contract. While the
band signed the contract at the time, it has since become the
source of some controversy based on Roadrunner’s treatment of the
band during the events surrounding their interim break up in 2002.
This is supported by Burton C. Bell’s scathing lyrics on “Slave
Labor” - the opening song on 2004’s
Archetype, the band’s
first album after their reformation – that do not mince their words
about the band’s feelings on the matter. After going through
numerous amounts of Bassists,
Andrew
Shives was hired as a live bassist prior to the release of
their debut album.
Soul of a New Machine
Recorded with producer Colin Richardson and released in 1992,
Soul of a New Machine was the band’s first exposure to the
wider music scene and was seen as revolutionary for its pioneering
industrial death metal sound, combining Bell’s harsh and melodic
vocals, Herrera’s machine-like battery, the integrated industrial
samples and textures and the sharp, down tuned rhythmic death metal
riffs of Dino Cazares.
Due to the extreme nature of the music, the album was not
successful in the mainstream and even today remains more of a cult
favorite, never seeing the level of popularity attained by their
later, more accessible works. Indeed, the band’s style
progressively shifted further away from the death metal sound with
every subsequent release and
Soul of a New Machine can
strictly be seen as Fear Factory’s final effort that lies firmly in
the death metal camp.
The band added sampler/keyboardist
Reynor
Diego to the lineup and supported the album by embarking on
extensive tours across the U.S. with
Biohazard,
Sepultura, and
Sick Of
It All and a tour of Europe with
Brutal
Truth, then
Cannibal Corpse,
Cathedral, and
Sleep. The following year, they hired
Front Line Assembly member
Rhys Fulber to remix some songs from the album,
demonstrating the band’s willingness to experiment with their music
even at this early stage. The results took on a predominantly
industrial guise, and were released
as the
Fear Is the
Mindkiller EP in 1993 (both
Soul of a New Machine and
Fear is the Mindkiller
were re-released together in a new re-mastered reissue by
Roadrunner Records in 2004).
In 1994, Andrew Shives was forced to leave the band.
In the same year, the
band met a vacationing Christian
Olde Wolbers (originally from Belgium
) in LA,
through Evan Seinfeld of Biohazard, whom they recruited as their
permanent bassist. Although Christian joined the band with
immediate effect, due to tight studio deadlines and Cazares’
regular tweaking of the guitar parts on the next album, he was
unable to record the bass parts on all of its songs, with Cazares
recording the bass for the remainder of the tracks.
Demanufacture
Fear Factory released their second album
Demanufacture in
1995, featuring a slight thawing down in the overly brutal approach
of the early recordings in favor of a more
industrial metal approach, characterized by
a mix of rapid fire
thrash
metal/industrial metal guitar riffs and tight, pulse driven
drum beats, roaring (rather than growled, but still aggressive)
vocals that made way for melodic singing and powerful bass
lines.
The production was also more refined and the integration of
atmospheric
keyboard parts and
industrial textures upon Cazares’
and Herrera’s precise musicianship made the songs sound clinical,
cold and machine-like and gave the band’s music a futuristic feel;.
Many fans consider Rhys Fulber’s involvement with the band integral
to this dimension of their sound. There were extensive
contributions from Reynor Diego as well; adding key samples, loops
and electronic flourishes to the group dynamics.
Demanufacture is generally considered to be the band’s
defining work and received much critical acclaim upon release,
being awarded the maximum five K's rating in the UK’s
Kerrang! rock magazine. It went on to become a
fairly successful album. While
Soul of a New Machine
failed to chart anywhere,
Demanufacture made the Top 10 of
the Billboard Heatseekers charts and a video was filmed for the
song "Replica". The song "Zero Signal" was featured on the
Mortal Kombat film
soundtrack in 1995. Instrumental versions of
Demanufacture
songs were later used in the
Carmageddon video game for the
PC.
Fear Factory spent the next few years touring with such bands such
as
Black Sabbath,
Megadeth and
Iron Maiden
and appearing at the 1996 and 1997
Ozzfests,
among other music festivals. During that time their jersey is seen
in the video of
Counterfeit by
Limp Bizkit. In May 1997, the band
released a new album composed of
Demanufacture remixes by
artists such as DJ Dano or
Junkie XL (now
known as JXL) called
Remanufacture - Cloning
Technology, which marked the band’s first appearance on
the
Billboard 200 and also appeared on
the Billboard Heatseekers chart. Roadrunner Records re-released
Demanufacture and
Remanufacture in a 10th
Anniversary single package reissue in 2005, similar to that of
Soul of a New Machine in 2004. This edition also includes
bonus tracks from the
digipak version of
Demanufacture, which was also released in 1995.
Obsolete
July 1998, saw the release of Fear Factory’s third studio album,
titled
Obsolete, with the band reportedly canceling an
appearance at the
Dynamo Open
Air Festival to finish the album sooner.
Obsolete was similar in sound to
Demanufacture,
but also saw the introduction of more
progressive metal and
alternative metal elements and for the
first time, featured Christian Olde Wolbers recording with the band
in his full capacity as a band member. It also featured Dino
Cazares down tuning his 7-string guitars from standard tuning
(B,E,A,D,G,B,E,) to A tuning (A,D,G,C,F,A,D,), paving the way for a
lower-tuned sound than before. The album is also notable for Rhys
Fulber’s increased involvement with the band.
While Fear Factory had explored the theme of “Man versus Machine”
in their earlier work,
Obsolete was their first actual
concept album that dealt specifically
with a literal interpretation of this subject, telling a story
called
Conception 5 written by Bell that takes place in a
future world where mankind is rendered "obsolete" by the Machines,
and features characters such as the “Edgecrusher”,
“Smasher/Devourer” and the “Securitron” monitoring system. The
story is presented in the lyrics booklet in a screenplay format in
between the individual songs, with the printed story parts linking
the lyrics of the songs together thematically.
Bell explained the concept in an interview as follows :
Coincidentally released in the alternative metal boom of the late
90s,
Obsolete, supported by tours with
Slayer and later,
Rammstein,
along with a headlining spot on the second stage at Ozzfest in 1999
(as last-minute replacements for
Judas
Priest), went on to become the band’s highest selling album,
marking the band’s first entry into the Top 100 on the Billboard
charts. The album also spawned singles in "Descent" and in the
digipak bonus track, "
Cars", a cover of the famous
Gary Numan song (featuring a guest appearance by
Numan himself, on the song, as well as in its music video), that
made the Mainstream Rock Top 40 in 1999 and was also featured in
the video game, Test Drive 5. Incidentally, Numan also performs a
spoken word sample on the album’s title track. A video was also
filmed for the song, "Resurrection". To date,
Obsolete
remains the only Fear Factory album to have achieved gold sales in
the US.
Digimortal and demise
In early 2001, Fear Factory was asked to headline
SnoCore Rock. The success of
Obsolete
and "Cars" was to be a turning point for the band, with Roadrunner
Records now keen on capitalizing on the band’s sales potential and
pressuring the band to record more accessible material for their
follow-up album, titled
Digimortal, which was released in
2001.
While
Digimortal remained consistent with the band’s
lyrical evolution, with Bell now singing about Man and Machine
having become merged and unable to be separated without immense
harm being caused, musically, the shift to simpler, more radio
friendly song structures lost the band some of its more extreme
metal fans and the album is considered by some to be inferior to
their earlier releases. Fan opinion, however, remains strongly
divided between those who view the album as a colossal failure,
those who associate it with the nü metal movement and others who
contend that the sound is still the same Fear Factory at its core
and praise the merits afforded by the Rhys Fulber production.
Digimortal made the Top 40 on the
Billboard album charts, the Top 20 in Canada
and the Top
10 of the Australian album charts.
"Linchpin" off the album again reached the Mainstream Rock Top
40.
A remix of the song "Invisible Wounds" was included on the
Resident Evil film
soundtrack, and an instrumental
digipak
bonus track called "Full Metal Contact" was originally written for
the video game,
Demolition
Racer.
A
VHS/
DVD release called
Digital Connectivity
was released soon after, in January 2002, which documents each of
the four album periods of the band via interviews, live clips,
music videos and tour/studio footage. The video is not generally
seen as exceptionally well put together.
Although
Digimortal had a successful start, the sales did
not reach anywhere near the levels of
Obsolete and the
band received little tour support. The direction of the album
coupled with strong personal differences between some of the band
members created a rift that escalated with time, to the point where
Bell announced his exit in March 2002. The band disbanded
immediately thereafter. The band’s contractual obligations remained
unfulfilled however, and Roadrunner did not release them without
controversially issuing the
Concrete album (originally
from 1991) in 2002 and the
b-sides and
rarities compilation,
Hatefiles
in 2003.
During his time away from Fear Factory, Bell started his side
project along with
John Bechdel, called
Ascension of the Watchers,
who released their first EP,
Iconoclast, independently via
their online store in 2005.
Return
Over time, it emerged that the rift between the members was largely
between the guitarist Dino Cazares and the other members,
particularly Bell.
Cazares was the first to speak out after the break-up, proceeding
to make claims and allegations against Bell and the other members
in May 2002 in a
Blabbermouth.net
interview. Almost all of these allegations were subsequently
addressed and refuted by Herrera in a counter interview, speaking
on behalf of all the other members.
Olde Wolbers and Herrera got back together later in 2002 and laid
the foundations for what was to become the return of Fear Factory.
With Cazares now permanently out of the line up, Bell was
approached with their demo recordings and was impressed enough to
rejoin the band and Fear Factory was formed once again. Christian
switched to guitar and
Byron Stroud of
Strapping Young Lad was
approached to join the band as their new bassist, and has been
their bass player since 2003.
Dino
Cazares has continued recording and performing with his side
project called Asesino, a Mexican
deathgrind band featuring Tony Campos of Static-X
on vocals. In 2007, he has also started a new group called
Divine Heresy, featuring
Tim Yeung, formerly of
Hate Eternal and
Vital
Remains, on drums
Archetype
Fear Factory made their live return as the mystery band at the
Australian
Big Day Out festival in
January 2004, followed by their first American shows since
reforming, on the spring
Jägermeister tour along with
Slipknot and
Chimaira.
The new lineup's first album
Archetype was released on April 20, 2004 through new
record label Liquid 8 Records based
in Minnesota
.
Archetype saw Fear Factory returning to an alternative and
partially industrial metal sound and is generally considered to be
a strong and 'back-to-form' record, if not a particularly
innovative effort, with most of the trademark elements of the band
firmly in place.
Videos were shot for the songs "Cyberwaste", "Archetype" and "Bite
the Hand that Bleeds", with the latter featuring on the
Saw film soundtrack.
Further tours with
Lamb of God
and
Mastodon in the US and with
Mnemic in Europe put the band back on the
worldwide metal map. The new Fear Factory has largely abandoned the
direct "Man versus Machine" theme prevalent on earlier releases in
favor of subjects such as
religion,
war and
corporatism.
Transgression
To the surprise of many fans, Fear Factory soon revealed plans to
subsequently record and release their next full-length album over a
very short period of time with mainstream rock producer
Toby Wright (normally known to work with bands
such as
Korn and
Alice in Chains). This was allegedly due to
pressure from their new label, Calvin Records, who pulled back the
album’s due date from four months away to just a month and a half,
in order that the band would have a completed new album to support
on the inaugural
Gigantour, which they had
been invited to participate on by
Dave
Mustaine.
The
resultant album, Transgression, was released barely a year
after Archetype on August 22, 2005 in the United Kingdom, and on the following day in North America to highly polarized reviews,
with some critics hailing the album as a diverse and progressive
effort and other reviewers not receiving the record very
well. Although the album starts off as a Fear Factory
record, subsequent songs include mellow/alt-rock numbers in "Echo
of My Scream" (featuring
Faith No
More’s
Billy Gould on bass) and "New
Promise", a
pop-rock song in "Supernova"
and a faithful cover of
U2’s poppy, "
I Will Follow".
Christian Olde Wolbers has expressed disappointment with the
finished product, calling it only half-finished, and has blamed the
label for the severe time constraints imposed during the recording
sessions and for the inclusion of the U2 cover, but Burton C. Bell
has maintained that he is proud of the album and sees it as the
band "stepping over boundaries".Over 2005-2006, Fear Factory went
on to promote the album on their successful "Fifteen Years of Fear"
world tour in celebration of their fifteenth anniversary, inviting
bands such as
Darkane,
Strapping Young Lad and
Soilwork to join them on the US jaunt and
Misery Index to join them on the
European jaunt. Late 2006 saw Fear Factory tour the US once again
on the "Machines at War" tour, with an all star death metal line-up
of special guests in
Suffocation,
Hypocrisy and
Decapitated, playing certain old classics
from
Soul of a New Machine such as "Crash Test" which they
had not performed live in many years.
Hiatus and other projects
An online statement from Wolbers in December 2006 indicated that
the band was to head back into the studio to record a new album,
produced by the band, immediately after the completion of the
Transgression touring cycle. That same month, Burton C.
Bell confirmed in an interview that the band would part ways with
Liquid 8 Records. Yet rather than
begin work on a new studio album, the band members briefly went
their separate ways, and began working with other projects.
Bell contributed vocals to the songs "End Of Days, Pt.1", "End of
Days, Pt. 2", and "Die In A Crash" on
Ministry's 2007 album
The Last Sucker, and later toured with
the band in support of the album. Bell referred to this as a "dream
come true" in an interview, describing Ministry front man
Al Jourgensen as "one of [his] heroes." In
that same interview, Bell talked at length about his new band
Ascension of the Watchers,
providing insight into the inspiration behind the project's
formation.
Christian Olde Wolbers and Raymond Herrera went on to start their
own new band, called
Arkaea, with vocalist
Jon Howard and bassist
Pat Kavanagh of
Threat
Signal. In describing the band, Wolbers stated that
"Ironically, half of the Arkaea album consists of songs that were
intended to be the next Fear Factory record."
Arkaea released their debut album
Years in the Darkness on July 14,
2009.
New Fear Factory and Mechanize
On April 7, 2009,
Burton C. Bell and ex-guitarist
Dino Cazares announced the reconciliation of
their friendship, and the formation of a new project with Stroud on
bass and drummer
Gene Hoglan (
Death,
Strapping
Young Lad). On April 28, this project was revealed to actually
be a new version of Fear Factory, minus Herrera and Wolbers. Bell,
when asked why Herrera and Wolbers were not included, stated that
"[Fear Factory]'s like a business and I'm just reorganizing...We
won't talk about [their exclusion]".
In June 2009, Christian Olde Wolbers and Raymond Herrera finally
spoke about the issue on the radio program "Speed Freaks". Instead
of offering reasons for leaving the group, Herrera revealed that
technically, he and Wolbers never left. "[Christian and I] are
actually still in Fear Factory...[Burton and Dino] decided to start
a new band, and furthermore, they decided to call it Fear Factory.
They never communicated with us about it", said Herrera. Herrera
went on to say that the original four members (Bell, Cazares,
Wolbers, and himself) are contractually regarded as Fear Factory
Incorporated, and said "it's almost like them two against us two,
so it's kind of a stalemate."
Herrera also stated that he and Wolbers had written eight songs for
the next Fear Factory record, but that a "personal disagreement"
had come up between them and Bell, which left Bell unwanting to
continue work with the band.
Fear Factory featuring Bell and Cazares was set to make its live
debut on June 21 in the Metalway Festival in Zaragoza, Spain.
However, the show was cancelled "at the last minute", apparently
due to the legal complications referenced by Herrera that now
surround the use of the name "Fear Factory". The rest of that
lineup's planned performances over Summer 2009, which included a
tour of United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, and New Zealand in
August 2009, had also been canceled. The group claims, however,
that they canceled their touring plans so as to finish writing and
recording the next Fear Factory album. Despite the cancelled
performances in Europe, shows around December have been confirmed
in many South American countries, including Argentina , Chile and
Brazil.
Despite ongoing issues between the two parties, the new Fear
Factory is moving ahead with the recording process. In late July
2009, a short video shot with a cell phone showed Dino recording
over drum tracks with long time contributor Rhys Fulber. According
to recent interviews with Bell and Cazares, the band is about half
way through the recording process and is pushing for an early 2010
release, and at least one show in South America has been announced.
On November 6, 2009,
blabbermouth.net revealed that Mechanize
will be released on February 9, 2010, on
Candlelight Records. On November 8,
2009, the new Fear Factory released a track titled "Powershifter"
on Youtube. On November 10, 2009, Burton C. Bell gave a track list
for the Mechanize album, along with the meanings of each
song.
Legacy and influence
Fear Factory’s innovative approach towards, and hybridization of
the genres of industrial metal, death metal and alternative metal
has had a lasting impact on metal music ever since the release of
their first album in 1992. Fear Factory is noteworthy among
contemporaries for their lyrical focus on
science fiction, with much of their music
telling a single story spanning several
concept albums.
The band has often been called a "stepping stone" leading
mainstream listeners to venture into less-known/more extreme bands,
and are consistently appreciated.
In the
Soul of a New Machine re-release,
Machine Head vocalist
Robert Flynn,
Chimaira
vocalist
Mark Hunter and
Spineshank guitarist Mike Sarkisyan have
cited Fear Factory as an influence in the liner notes. Robert Flynn
stated his vocal style was influenced by Burton Bell's vocals and
that Machine Head have been wrongly credited for the vocal style.
Mark Hunter stated that Chimaira's drumming was heavily influenced
by Raymond Herrera. Other Bands that have Fear Factory in their
liner notes include
Disturbed,
Static-X &
Coal
Chamber.
Modern bands such as
Mnemic,
Scarve and
Sybreed contain
significant influences of the band’s technique and have also
credited a substantial debt of gratitude to the band.
Peter Tägtgren of
Hypocrisy has said that “Fear Factory are
close to our hearts” and that “
Soul of a New Machine was
the influence for me to start my other project, 'Pain'”.

shoddy first album, Fear Factory tightened its sound and as

a popular industrial metal band while also incorporating a groove
metal style. However, their sound has become so unique it seems to
elude and genre, and arguments continue over the label that should
be placed on them. This has also gotten them heard in the
