FEAR FACTORY released their debut LP, Soul of a New Machine, on this day in 1992 through Roadrunner.
Feature in Vital Wound zine from 1992:
FEAR FACTORY was founded in October'91 by Dino Cazares (guitars), Burton C. Bell (vocals), Raimond Herrera (drums) and David Gibney (bass). The band released one demo (include 7 songs) and 3 song Ep. The demo was recorded in the beginning of 1991 and it isn't ordinary tape which turns you into sleep. Without any doubt musicians are very serious playing this kind of music. It reminds me other American grinders NAUSEA, but FEAR FACTORY puts more Industrial/Psycho stuff. I think their phylosophy is worth of printing here.
"Fear Factory is a mechanical organization that incites fear in the mass community or anything that makes you uncomfortable being yourself. Hate is a product of a Fear Factory. A school, a church, workplace, or a police station, are all Fear Factories. Any place or thing that would have you choose between conformity or alienation, is a Fear Factory. Fear Factory does not follow any trends dictated by magazines or television (two more Fear Factories). The human mind is a Fear Factory, FEAR IS THE MAIN KILLER!"
How do you feel now? I'm sure only thing you need now is to check out for this band. Their music is designed to create sounds that will force the listener into an overwhelming emotional state of any kind.
