About

Fear Factory is an American industrial metal band formed in Los Angeles in 1989. It has released ten full-length albums and evolved through a succession of sounds, all in its main style of industrial metal. Over the years, the band has undergone frequent changes in its lineup. Lead vocalist Burton C. Bell was the only consistent member for 31 years until his departure in 2020. Guitarist Dino Cazares is the only remaining original member in Fear Factory's current lineup, after a seven-year sabbatical from the band between 2002 and 2009. The current lineup of Fear Factory consists of Cazares, bassist Tony Campos, vocalist Milo Silvestro and drummer Pete Webber.

Signing to Roadrunner Records in 1991, Fear Factory released their debut album, Soul of a New Machine, the following year. It became an underground success and earned the band a following through touring. After cycling through a few member changes, the "classic" lineup was formed in 1994, with Bell, Cazares and founding drummer Raymond Herrera joined by bassist Christian Olde Wolbers. This lineup recorded three albums, including the breakthroughs Demanufacture (1995) and Obsolete (1998). Both albums, along with worldwide tours, established Fear Factory's reputation as one of the most acclaimed metal bands of the mid-to-late 1990s. The fourth album, and last recorded with the "classic" lineup, Digimortal (2001), failed to match the success of its predecessors.

In March 2002, Fear Factory broke up due to internal disputes, but reformed the following year, with Wolbers replacing Cazares on guitar and Byron Stroud on bass. Two more albums, Archetype (2004) and Transgression (2005), were released before the band went back on hiatus in 2006. Fear Factory reunited in 2009 with a new lineup that featured Cazares, Gene Hoglan replacing Herrera, and Bell and Stroud reprising their respective roles. This lineup recorded the band's seventh studio album, Mechanize (2010). Wolbers and Herrera, comprising 50% of the band's legal ownership, disputed the reunited band's legitimacy, and a legal battle began. In spite of this, Fear Factory has since released three more albums: The Industrialist (2012), Genexus (2015), and Aggression Continuum (2021).

Fear Factory has performed at Ozzfest four times and the inaugural Gigantour. Its singles have charted on the US Mainstream Rock Top 40 and albums on the Billboard Top 40, 100, and 200. It has sold more than a million albums in the U.S. alone.

Fear Factory [fɪəɹ ˈfæktəɹi] est un groupe de metal industriel américain, originaire de Los Angeles, en Californie. Formé en 1990, Fear Factory trouve son influence dans la scène heavy metal au milieu et à la fin des années 1990. En mars 2002, le groupe se sépare à la suite d'un conflit entre ses membres, mais se reforme plus tard sans Dino Cazares, membre fondateur et guitariste du groupe. C'est l'ancien bassiste Christian Olde Wolbers qui prend sa place, remplacé lui-même à son précédent poste par Byron Stroud. En septembre 2020, le chanteur Burton C. Bell annonce officiellement son départ du groupe à la suite de litiges judiciaires avec les autres membres de la formation.

À la croisée des chemins entre le death metal (au début de leur carrière, le style vocal de Burton C. Bell ayant évolué à partir de l'album Demanufacture) et le metal industriel, Fear Factory est un groupe précurseur dans plusieurs domaines : la démo Concrete enregistrée en 1991 avec Ross Robinson qui deviendra ensuite un célèbre producteur de metal, l'utilisation de guitares à sept cordes accordées très bas et l'intégration de samples dans des morceaux de metal.
