Fear Factory is an American metal band. Formed in 1989, they are well-known for their signature style, which combines death metal, groove metal, thrash metal and industrial metal. They had a large impact on the metal (and "metalium", if you are picky) scene from the mid-90s and onwards, with Machine Head, Chimaira, Devin Townsend, Disturbed and Mnemic all citing them as an influence.They disbanded in 2002 due to internal disputes, but reformed later that same year without guitarist Dino Cazares, a founding member. They disbanded again in 2006, only to reform again in 2009 with a new lineup, including the returning Dino and drummer Gene Hoglan. This lineup put out a comeback album Mechanize in 2010 and extensively toured to support it. Gene and Byron departed in 2012 and were replaced by Mike Heller (Malignancy) and Matt DeVries (ex-Chimara). Dino and Burton had been working on a new album before this point on their own, bringing in John Sankey (ex-Devolved, ex-Light The Torch) to help program the drums for it. This album was released in 2012 as The Industrialist. Matt left in 2015 and was replaced by Tony Campos. A new album, Genexus, was released that same year.Not long after the release of Genexus, a lawsuit was brought on by former drummer Raymond Herrera and former bassist Christian Olbe Wolbers over the rights to the "Fear Factory" name. A planned new album, originally titled Monolith, was shelved for a few years. Burton would also suddenly depart from the band in September 2020. However Dino would re-work and finish the planned album with Bell's original vocal tracks intact, which would eventually release in June 2021 as Aggression Continuum.In 2023, Dino announced that the band had found a new vocalist in the form of Milo Silvestro. They then embarked on their first US tour in several years.Not to be confused with Fear Factor, Nightmarish Factory, or the Donkey Kong Country track of the same name.Current lineup Dino Cazares – guitars, backing vocals (1989–2002, 2009–present) Tony Campos - bass, backing vocals (2015-present) Milo Silvestro - lead vocals (2023-present) Pete Webber - drums (2023-present)Former members Burton C.

Recoded (2022): Contains remixes of songs from Aggression Continuum.

Protest Song | |
| Fear Factory (Music) / int_16d8476f | comment |
Protest Song: Whilst all of Fear Factory's material is basically anti-authoritarian, "Crash Test" (animal testing), "Hi-tech Hate" (arms industry), "Corporate Cloning" (music/fashion industry), "Securitron (Police State 2000)" (go on, guess), "Crisis" (the military complex) are all more specific in their targets. "Fear Campaign" is essentially a huge middle finger to everyone who uses fear to get themselves obeyed. | |

Vocal Evolution | |
| Fear Factory (Music) / int_2ef005ab | comment |
Vocal Evolution: Both inverted and subverted with Burton. He actually got worse as a vocalist over time. While he was able to sing more in a higher range from Digimortal onwards, it was something he really struggled to replicate live, especially when the band returned in 2009. It started to make people wonder whether he was getting a lot of help from studio magic on his later albums with the band. Those theories were perhaps legitimate, as he mostly avoids singing in his higher register on his post-Fear Factory work. | |

Downer Ending | |
| Fear Factory (Music) / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending - In Obsolete, when the main character, Edgecrusher, gets captured by the Securitron. It is not certain whether his words/thoughts in the song "Timelessness" are when he's in jail, or when he is in the process of being executed. And he was the leader of the resistance too, making Edgecrusher's defeat a double-blow. | |

Religion Rant Song | |
| Fear Factory (Music) / int_5df06b20 | comment |
Religion Rant Song: "Big God/Raped Souls", (("Liar! Big God, no God, BURN!")) and "Desecrate" from Soul of a New Machine with "Act of God" on Archetype give examples of Type 1. Demanufacture's "Pisschrist" is more of a Type 2, though in the context of the album, it also talks either about the anti-machine resistance, or the machine leadership. Although you may not realize it, the Digimortal bonus track "Dead Man Walking" is a Type 2. Mechanize's "Christploitation" is a type 3 talking about how religion is now explored and sold. | |

Audience Participation Song | |
| Fear Factory (Music) / int_5fe1360d | comment |
Audience Participation Song During the last chorus of "Demanufacture" live, Burton holds the mic up to the crowd and asks something along the lines of "WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU GOT?", which they proceed to answer by shouting the chorus at the top of their lungs. While the band does not explicitly encourage it, the fans tend to sing along to the chorus of "Edgecrusher" live. Honestly, all of their songs could be this with the right crowd, due to the simple choruses. | |

I Am the Band: Dino Cazares has been the band's only remaining original member since Burton C. Bell left in 2020, though there's an argument that Burton C. Bell himself used to be this too. Burton was the only member of the band perform on all of the albums recorded before his departure, as the band made two albums (Archetype and Transgression) between Dino's departure and return. | |

| Fear Factory (Music) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: "Archetype" (the song) at Dino. Interestingly, the band decided to play the song live again some years after Dino came back, re-directing the Take That at former members Christian and Raymond. The pre-chorus lyric of "the infection has been removed" was changed to "the infections have been removed". The song has continued to been played live since Milo joined the band, though the lyric has since reverted back to "the infection has been removed". "Cyberwaste" is directed at people who use the Internet to harass others. | |

Perishing Alt-Rock Voice: Burton became more and more like this from the Archetype era onwards. People have frequently criticised him for struggling to perform his clean vocal parts live. It got especially bad during the touring cycle for The Industrialist, where he would routinely sing out of tune or even out of key. | |

Genre Mashup: Kind of like Bauhaus in that the sound they created is common now, but was downright out of left field when they started. Death metal, industrial metal, grindcore, noise, EBM, rap, and synthpop aren't exactly things you'd expect to hear combined, but that's pretty much exactly what Fear Factory did. | |

Nobody Loves the Bassist | |
| Fear Factory (Music) / int_d9ef7393 | comment |
Nobody Loves the Bassist: Christian is the only bassist that has actually recorded bass on an album. Usually Dino does it himself because Burton thinks it takes a guitarist to play their bass riffs properly. | |

The Scapegoat | |
| Fear Factory (Music) / int_dc8ba6d5 | comment |
The Scapegoat: Well, "Scapegoat". It was written after an incident where Dino felt he had been wrongly arrested. | |

Idiosyncratic Cover Art | |
| Fear Factory (Music) / int_ddbbcf6a | comment |
Idiosyncratic Cover Art: Though some exceptions turn up here and there, the band's album covers usually feature a mirrored and usually symmetrical image resembling their "FF" initials. | |

Determinator | |
| Fear Factory (Music) / int_e567510d | comment |
Determinator: "H-K (Hunter-Killer)", "Edgecrusher", "Smasher/Devourer", "Archetype". "H-K" gets bonus points for not only taking its title from De Terminator, but using samples of Kyle Reese's dialogue. | |

Grief Song | |
| Fear Factory (Music) / int_e680af6f | comment |
Grief Song: Well, more of a grief instrumental in the case of Natividad, which is dedicated to guitarist Dino Cazares' mother. | |

Rap Metal: "Back the Fuck Up" from Digimortal. It sure was unexpected. Half of the band also contributed to Cypress Hill's Skull & Bones. | |

Soprano and Gravel | |
| Fear Factory (Music) / int_f1dcc3f | comment |
Soprano and Gravel: Burton manages to do this one, all on his own. In fact, he is often regarded as, if not the Trope Maker, then definitely the Trope Codifier for this style of singing by one person in heavy metal. | |

20 Minutes into the Future | |
| Fear Factory (Music) / int_f32d85ab | comment |
20 Minutes into the Future: the concept albums worlds are left deliberately undated, and fit fairly neatly into the not-too-distant future trope. | |
