    Both the harsh and the clean vocals are done by the one incredible front man, Burton C. Bell.
    Legend has it, in the early days of the band (back when their genre was full blown brutal death metal with industrial elements), the other band members heard Burton singing in the shower one day, and were very intrigued by how haunting his voice was. They then suggested to him that they try incorporating those vocals into their sound. A very revolutionary and brave decision in the early 90's for a death metal band!
    Great reaction, Molly! 🙂

    Fear Factory were one of the most unique metal bands of their time. On their first album Soul of a New Machine they managed to combine death metal/grindcore with heavily influenced by Godflesh and Ministry industrial sound. And even so they had their own unique thing with this amazing clean vocals. At the time of 1992 it was absolutely mind-blowing to hear clean vocals in death metal along with the usual screams/growls. Many orthodox metal fans were simply baffled by this. And then Demanufacture comes out next, where the band just takes a leap into the stratosphere, creating a true industrial metal masterpiece.
    After Demanufacture they also released remix album called Remanufacture where the band's going full-on with industrial and electronic stuff. Again, at the time releasing a remix album being a metal band was such a badass move which once again proves the Fear Factory greatness to experiment and develop their music.

      When I was a in my late teens in the late 90's I listened both Demanufacture and the remix album Remanufacture and because I liked the latter more I realized something new about my musical preferences. Remanufacture was the album that made me to delve into much more electronic music (although dark and heavy sounding), such as Front Line Assembly. And Rhys Fulber, one of the members of Front Line Assembly was involved with Remanufacture. Which is insane album if you think it was released by Roadrunner Records and it has even a rave remix of H-K!

    Fear Factory definitely paved the way for the 90s industrial metal scene

  • @sumonjamal1653
    @sumonjamal1653 16 วันที่ผ่านมา +10

    Fear Factory emerged from L.A. in the late 80's just as death metal began trending in the indie scene... Dino Cazares (guitar) enlisted his then-roommate Burton C. Bell (vocals) and Raymond Herrera (drums) ... They worked w/ producer Ross Robinson to record the 'Concrete' album in 1990 but it wasn't released until 2002 because of a contract dispute.
    Most of the songs on 'Concrete' were used for what became Fear Factory's 1992 debut album 'Soul of a new machine'... Dino and Burton wanted to add more electronic elements for an industrial rock feel w/ their brutal delivery ... Burton added melodic singing to his brutal vocals and the album became a moderate success... Dino Cazares played bass on the record and he would do the same on their 2nd album.
    For 2nd album 'Demanufacture' in 1995, Fear Factory enlisted industrial producer Rhys Fulber to enhance the album's futuristic sound and it was a huge improvement from 'Soul of a new machine'... Burton C. Bell wrote the album as a sequel about A.I. machines taking over the human race... Fear Factory's entire lyrical concept was 'man v. machine'... 'organism v. technology'... Dino also refrained from playing guitar solos because of the 90's trends.
    Christian Olde Wolbers (bass) did the tour and joined Fear Factory as 'Demanufacture' sold close to a half million copies in the US alone.
    Fear Factory concluded the trilogy concept w/ their 3rd album 'Obsolete' in 1998... the album sold gold (half million copies) in the US w/ a non-album single becoming an unexpected success - a cover of Gary Numan's "Cars" (which also featured Gary Numan) The album explored a world where even the humans have become mechanized and all that remains is the lone figure of resistance for humanity.
    Their 4th album 'Digimortal' in 2001 was a bit commercial, exploring the concept of downloading a living person's memories into technology and becoming immortal ... However, Burton C. Bell was starting to split w/ guitarist Dino Cazares and quit Fear Factory in 2002. That was the end of the classic Fear Factory of Bell/ Cazares/ Herrera/ Wolbers.
    In 2004, Burton C. Bell agreed to rejoin Fear Factory without Dino Cazares... Christian Olde Wolbers switched to guitar and Raymond Herrera (drums) and Byron Stroud (bass) recorded and released 'Archetype'... which was a return to the aggressive sound.
    But after the 2005 album 'Transgression'... which was a bit commercial once again, Burton C. Bell was frustrated w/ Christian Wolber's wife involved in the band's business... He walked out again and decided to reconcile w/ Dino Cazares.
    Burton and Dino joined forces for another Fear Factory album 'Mechanize' in 2010 w/ Gene Hoglan on drums and Byron Stroud on bass... However, the decision to record their 2012 album 'The Industrialist' w/ a drum machine led to the band splitting w/ Hoglan and Stroud.
    Fear Factory completed and released the album 'Genexus' in 2015 w/ Mike Heller (drums) and toured into 2016. Their last album recorded w/ vocalist Burton C. Bell was 'Aggression continuum' in 2017... However, a lawsuit filed by Raymond Herrera and Christian Wolbers regarding the rights to the name Fear Factory delayed the release & resulted in Dino Cazares (guitar) retaining sole ownership of band name.
    A bitter Burton C. Bell announced in 2020 that he had quit Fear Factory... He announced that he would tour again w/ a solo band, as well as his other project Ascension of the Watchers.
    Dino released Fear Factory's 'Aggression continuum' in 2021 and also re-released 'The Industrialist' album w/ new drum tracks by Mike Heller... In 2023, Fear Factory announced new vocalist Milo Silvestro from Italy would be joining the band and touring w/ Dino Cazares (guitar) and Static-X's Tony Campos (bass)... Pete Webber (drums) also joined Fear Factory for the tour.
    Dino announced recently that he had begun writing a new Fear Factory album - their first w/ vocalist Milo Silvestro.

The band in general is like a nice bridge between Metallica/Slayer/Megadeth & Ministry/Front Line Assembly/Godflesh/KMFDM - if you want a madder version of this try “City” by Strapping Young Lad (like if Dillinger & Fear Factory had a baby) :)

    I remember when this album came out. It blew me and my friends' minds. Between the period of this album and it's follow up "Obsolete" they were THE metal band to us. I remember a few short years later we found out they were performing at Ozzfest and we all went as a group. They were on the second stage, which was this smaller outside area with literally trees everywhere like we were out in the woods.
    We were in the front row literally inches away from them for the first few songs. Then we moved back a bit to go into the pit. One of my friends broke his hand when he fell and some dude couldn't stop himself and accidently stomped on it. His fingers were bent backwards. He saw a medic who straightened them, wrapped it up, put his arm in a sling, and gave him some painkillers. Then we went back to catch the end of their set, because that wasn't going to stop him.
    Good times.

      Fkn A! IMO this album changed up the industrial genre a hell of a lot, and along with NIN they brought it to a broader fan base

    • @Sheer_Kold
      @Sheer_Kold 15 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Absolutely!
      Fear Factory did something unique in sound, whilst I'm not a huge fan of digital music...they used it perfectly to craft incredible songs.

    Another awesome album choice. Love this album. I saw them live last year with Static-X (would love to see you react to their album Machine). Fear Factory is a great band. I’d say do their next album Obsolete next. Some of my favorites off Demanufacture are the title track, Self Bias Resistor, Replica, and HK.

    Finding this video was the algorithm being awesome! I was about 16/17 when I bought Demanufacture on cassette and it was such a game changer, it totally blew my mind. I was big into black metal, and I still am, but this album showed me that bands could summon forth a different kind of atmosphere to their music.
    Interesting fact for you, Pisschrist was actually a very early track, but the early demo era is nothing like the Demanufacture version.
    Anyway, absolutely top notch video and I love the way you do things and describe what you're hearing, you have a new subscriber! 😊
    (Btw, I still have the cassette and it probably still plays fine)

    Hey Molly, it's funny how you cover my favourite albums of the 90s, first Meantime and now Demanufacture. 🙂 Great reaction as always! I bought a copy of Demanufacture "blindly" in 1995. I used to listen to industrial back then (the name Rhys Fulber of Front Line Assembly, who is featured on Demanufacture, convinced me to give it a shot) but didn't expect a full-blown metal album, lol. The industrial/techno influences become apparent in the remix album "Remanufacture".

  • @WhatDayIsItTrumpDay

    Zero Signal was Sub Zero's theme song on the 1995 film Mortal Kombat. Fun Fact: Back when I bought the film's soundtrack (which h had a bunch of industrial metal songs on it, one being Zero Signal) it spurred me into collecting Fear Factory. I think I bought like 3 or 4 of their albums before I lost interest in Industrial Metal by the early 2000s.

  • @neonspec
    @neonspec 9 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    I love this album. First exposure to it was the Mortal Kombat movie all the way back in 1995. They played the song Zero Signal during the Johnny Cage vs Scorpion fight. Definitely one of the best industrial metal albums ever to come out!
    Wondering if we’ll be getting a return to Ghost soon? They’re the talk of the town right now as they just released their first concert film (which is excellent btw). Definitely recommend going through their discography in chronological order to see how that band has evolved (Infestissumam would be next since you’ve already heard Opus Eponymous).
    Keep up the great content 😎!

    Yay, I am very happy to hear you covering a Fear Factory album! I first heard of the band because of Replica, it was the theme song for former ECW wrestler Jerry Lynn, so I bought Obsolete, and I was hooked! Thanks for this video, and like some others have said, please check out Obsolete, even if it is the ten track original version, if you liked this album, you'll like that one, too!

  • @bedroommusiciansunited9309

    I didn't take much notice of this album when it came out but in late 1995 a friend sent me a mix tape (for the younger people here it's a primitive version of sharing a playlist 😀) and the last song on it was 'Self Bias Resistor'. I had the tape playing in my room as I was on my bed studying for an upcoming Economics exam. I wasn't paying it much attention. Self Bias Resistor came on. Again, I wasn't paying it much attention. And then that clean chorus hit! Holy shit! I jumped off the bed and just played that song on repeat. I eventually got the Demanufacture album and saw them on that tour in 1996. To this day it remains one of my favourite albums.

  • @80s_kid
    @80s_kid 12 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

    Masterpiece. It came out in the summer of '95, it was a completely new influence, bands like White Zombie, Ministry, NIN didn't sound like that either, we listened to it day and night. The funny thing is that nothing in its league has surpassed this record, which is almost 30 years old.

  • @hawke024

    hey molly. fave album of all time. glad you found it. didn't see this mentioned. alot of fear factorys albums tell a story. atleast the earlier stuff. from demanufatcures down fall of a government/police state etc. to obsolete's terminator esque rise of the machines. MAN IS OBSOLOETE. fantastic metal opera's. Truely a unique band.

    Demanufacture is a classic, excellent choice 👌. Fear Factory had their ups and downs over the years but they were one of the best live bands I've ever seen or heard. I got to see them at the Hammerstein in 2001 touring the Digimortal release and they absolutely crushed it. Bell was the real deal live as was Raymond Herrera, maybe the craziest live double pedal drummer I've heard. Awesome selection, hope you do more 🤘

    My bad for not being around for these vids lately. Been a bit down lately. But I do have a story about this band. August 20th 1995, I was 16 years old at the time. I was headed to see my favorite band Megadeth. Had no idea who was opening for them either. Meet Dave Mustang at the back of the club before the show. Got lucky there were only a few people around. He put his arm around me and said "I am a fan of the music just like you are. I am no different." He had a decent buzz already but I knew he was trying to convey that he wasnt a metal god like we thought he was. He was super humble. Anyway went in and within a few minutes a band I had never heard of called Fear Factory took the stage. This was only a few months after Demanufacture album released. My jaw was on the floor the whole time. Never heard anything like it. It was f@kin incredible! Then a band I had only heard 1 song from took to the stage. Korn. My life was changed on that day. What Fear Factory and Korn did for me on that stage made the rest of the show (remember Megadeth was my fav band at the time) almost boring. Flotsam and Jetsam were the 3rd band and then Megadeth was headlining. I bought the Korn album and Demanufacture by FF and all I wanted to do for the rest of the show was go home and listen to these on repeat. Was an incredible day for me at such a young age.

    @TravfromTO 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I feel both Demanufacture and the next album Obsolete are very underappreciated albums that came out of the late 90s. Fear Factory as a whole should be way more popular than they are. I remember in HS in 93 or so and hearing Scapegoat on someone's car stereo. I was hooked. I went out and bought Soul of a new machine and made all my friends listen to it. Then Demanufacture came out it so different than anything else I was listening to. I've been a fan for life. I saw Fear Factory for the 7th time a couple of months ago. Even with the new singer Milo, they have lost nothing. If Fear Factory comes to your town, go see them. You won't be disappointed🤘🤘 Great video🥰🥰
