Fear Factory kicked it up a notch after their first release “Soul of a New Machine” was released in 1992.

This is the album where the drumbeats are super tight, the vocals are harsh and operatic, and the layers come together to create an incredible industrial album.

They released “Obsolete” following this release which felt like a weaker extension of this album.

In fighting, band members leaving and coming back over the years and disbanding a few times stripped Fear Factory of any identity.  

Burton C. Bell finally left the band for good prior to their last release named “Aggression Continuum” which seems about right with the drama with Fear Factory.

This is their top album where it all comes together.

Here is the track listing...

1. Demanufacture
2. Self Bias Resistor
3. Zero Signal
4. Replica
5. New Breed
6. Dog Day Sunrise
7. Body Hammer
8. Flashpoint
9. H-K (Hunter-Killer)
10. Pisschrist
11. A Therapy For Pain
