Formed by vocalist Burton C. Bell, percussionist Raymond Herrera, and ex-Douche Lord guitarist Dino Cazares, Fear Factor utilises a whole host of metal and sonic soundscape as an outlet for their pessimistic view of modern society. The band contributed two songs to the L.A. Death Metal compilation, which resulted in signing with Roadrunner Records who released their debut album “Soul of a New Machine” in 1992. The album featured new bassist Andrew Shives, allowing Cazares to play guitar on tour and was followed by the electronically experimental EP “Fear Is the Mind Killer”, featuring remixes by Rhys Fulber and Bill Leeb and marking the arrival of Reynor Diego.
Prior to the band’s sophomore album of new material “Demanufacture” in 1995, Shives was fired from band and replaced by Christian Olde Wolbers. Similar to its predecessor “Demanufacture” was followed by another remix project entitled “Remanufacture (Cloning Technology”, this time Fear Factory tried their hand at electronic remix contributions along with a number of techno-orientated artists.
Following Diego’s departure and Steve Tushar arrival and a number of side-projects including Cazares and Herrera’s Brujeria, and Nailbomb, Fear Factory returned in 1998 to released their third full-length “Obsolete”. The album marked the band’s biggest success to date, with an accomplished alternative metal style within a growing hybrid market. Following appearances on several film and video game soundtracks including “Mortal Kombat” and “Test Drive 5”, and shows at Ozzfest 1999, Fear Factor’s fan base swelled ahead of their fourth studio album “Digimortal” in 2001.
The album proved to be their most commercially popular reaching the Top 40 of the Billboard 200, however marked the departure of Cazares, with Wolbers moved to guitar and Byron Stroud hired to fill the bass spot. After being dropped by Roadrunner subsequent to the tumultuous line-up, Fear Factor released a set of original 1991 recordings under the title “Concrete” in 2002. The band soon singed with Liquid 8 who issued their 2004 album “Archetype”, followed in 2005 by the relentless “Transgression”.
Fear Factor then went on a hiatus to allow old wounds to heal, returning in 2009 when Bell and Cazares had made peace with one another. With the help of Byron Stroud on bass, Gene Hoglan on drums, and the continued membership of Herrera and Wolbers, the band released the album “Mechanize” in 2010 and the concept album “The Industrialist” in 2012.
Fear Factory is an American metal band, which was formed in the year 1990. This band was so successful that they released eight full studio albums.
"Resurrection" is an awesome song. It really grabs you. Some of the lyrics that I love in this song state, "Revive all my fears. Revive wasted tears. Revive void within. Revive once again. . .."
These guys are cool and dressed in all black. The lead singer even has black hair and looks super cool. The guitars in this song are super loud and the lead singer screams at all of the right places. In the clip that I watched of this song, their was a huge audience, and they were all headbanging and getting into the song.
This band knows how to perform because the audience really enjoyed it. "Cars" is another cool song by them. It was extremely popular. It is not as hard as some of the other songs of them. It is really easy to sing along to. The instruments are still loud in the song, but the singer does not scream in this one. However, the audience still loves this song because this band really knows how to perform for an audience.
