They’ve been declared dead and buried a few times, but nothing could be further from the truth.
Even in 2025, Fear Factory continue to tear up the industrial metal landscape. In the ’90s, the American phenomenon Fear Factory was unavoidable. With 1995’s ‘Demanufacture’, the band delivered a genre-defining album, blending fast thrash metal and industrial guitar riffs with tight drumbeats and laced with melodic vocals and powerful bass lines. The experimental ‘obsolete’ (1995) cemented their place on the metal scene and 2001’s ‘Digimortal’ concluded their famed trilogy. Despite a number of line-up changes and lead singer Burton C. Bell’s departure in 2020, which many thought would be the final nail in their coffin, co-founder Dino Cazares refused to let the legacy die. He continues to fly the flag and their special ‘Demanufacture’ set in celebration of the album’s 30th anniversary promises to shake our prison grounds to its foundations.
