Fear Factory - Detail Upcoming Full Length, First Single Unleashed
Fear Factory are proud to announce the tenth studio album, Aggression Continuum, to be released on June 18th via Nuclear Blast just in time for the band's 30th anniversary. It was produced and engineered by Damien Rainaud, mixed by Andy Sneap who also mixed the album's critically-acclaimed predecessor, Genexus. The artwork was created by Francesco Artusato. With all details being unveiled, the band also present the first official single called "Disruptor".
Aggression Continuum features guitarist, songwriter, and co-founder Dino Cazares; drummer Mike Heller; and former vocalist, lyricist, and co-founder Burton C. Bell.
Dino Cazares comments, "This record is one of my proudest achievements and I'm really excited for it to finally be released. There were a lot of personal struggles, sacrifices, and legal issues involved with this record which almost didn't see the light of day, but through passion determination, lots of hard work and not giving up the fight, it's finally ready for the world to hear. I felt that I needed to prove myself once again as I always try and make each record better than the last. Listen, and understand! This album is pissed! It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear and it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are hooked. You must fight to survive in the Aggression Continuum."

Enough to make the star of the band to leave? Dino is such an asshat. Can't have Fear Factory without Bell. RIP to FF's last album lol

Indeed. I'll consider this their last album. No offense to whoever the new singer is gonna be, but it just won't be FF anymore.

Need to listen to that first song again, first spin was not a winner. GENEXUS is one of their best albums, maybe my expectations are too high?

Disruptor isn't too bad, but IMO it's nothing special either. Typical FF track. If this had been on Demanufacture, it would have been considered a filler track. I hope the full album has something better to offer. I'm most curious about the song Monolith, because BCB wanted to name the album after it.

Not gonna lie, I kinda like it. I was expecting a lot worse than that.

I like it. Sure it's going to be hella different without Burton but there are no saints, and (at least I) haven't heard Dino's side of the story.

Written by IBlackened on 16.04.2021 at 23:08 Indeed as I keep listening to it I like it a lot. It has different vibes than on Genexus though. It reminds me of some former albums but I cannot put a name on it, Archetype maybe?

At least it"s better than Transgression or Digimortal

Kind of reminds of me of Edgecrusher, which is also track 2... if the album is anything like a modern Obsolete I'll be pretty happy. Fear Factory won't be the same without Burton. They've been though breakups and drama almost their whole run as a band... either they'll sort it all out again in five years or this is the end of Fear Factory.

Written by theFIST on 17.04.2021 at 14:07 Anything would be better than Transgression, their only album I bought and finally threw to the trashcan. Digimortal was fine even though quite different from their usual style. I tend to like their latest albums Mechanize/The Industrialist/Genexus more than their older ones.

Written by s_t_s on 17.04.2021 at 21:15 Mechanize is my favourite too, closely followed by Demanufacture Digimortal has a bunch of good stuff, but clearly isn"t an album they wanted to make, and suffers from the forced in elements and restrictions i"d call Industrialist the album that came when they actually did want to make something vaguely Digimortal styled

Written by s_t_s on 17.04.2021 at 12:28 I confess I'm not that familiar with their discography, as I listen mostly to Soul Of A New Machine, but this is more intense than I remember them to be.

Written by IBlackened on 19.04.2021 at 03:49 Soul Of A New Machine is a raw industrial metal album. It lacks the "polish" and "production" from later releases. Well it was released in 1992 so. I usually don't listen to old stuff so much these days. Even Demanufacture has aged, well this is kinda logic.

Written by IBlackened on 19.04.2021 at 03:49 If you liked Soul Of A New Machine, maybe check out Concrete. Concrete was meant to be their first album, but due to some legal issues it wasn't released until 2002. About half the tracks were re-recorded for SOANM (with two more songs re-recorded as bonus tracks for the digipack edition of Obsolete), but the production and sound quality is different. Concrete didn't have triggers, unlike SOANM, and the audio quality is somewhat "muddy" compared to the crisp sound of the rest of their catalogue. Skip Concrete if you're not interested in hearing different versions of songs you already know, but IMO it's an interesting curiosity in their discography. Just be aware that it doesn't sound like typical Fear Factory. However, if you'd rather check out the kind of music they're best known for, I recommend Demanufacture (arguably their best received album) and Mechanize (which came late in their career, after their weakest album no less, and took everybody by surprised with how good it was).

Written by s_t_s on 19.04.2021 at 20:16 One of the things I really like about it (SoaNM) is that it has a lot of death metal riffs and even a little bit of grind here and there. At least that's how they sound to my ears. lol

Written by Brutal Water on 20.04.2021 at 01:12 Thank you. I've listened to most of their older albums, but it's been a long time ago and I never checked their new stuff. I'll give them another chance.

Written by Brutal Water on 20.04.2021 at 01:12 Funny I was pretty sure that Concrete was another of their weird tekno remixes albums, guess I made some confusion with Hatefiles, Remanufacture or I dont know what other album.

| Brutal Water Posts: 108 |
I believe it came out shortly before or after Hatefiles. IIRC the band had just broken up for the first time and Roadrunner Records decided to milk the unreleased and rare stuff. Hence the Concrete demo album and the Hatefiles rarities collection. Or maybe you confused it with Fear is the Mindkiller, which was the remix EP featuring SOANM album. That one includes remixes of some songs that were on both SOANM and Concrete.
