Fear Factory - Mechanize

  Quote

Mechanize is a full-fisted blast of passion and innovation that sounds like the missing link betweens 1995's groundbreaking Demanufacture and 1998's more texturally nuanced Obsolete. Songs like 'Industrial Discipline' and 'Powershifter' are crushing and colossal, melding fast and precise rhythms with vocals that pinwheel from raw and scathing to hauntingly melodic while 'Fear Campaign', which features harrowing spoken word passages, quickly segues into a showcase of punishing beats, rapid-fire riffs and ghostly keyboards. While Mechanize is instantly reminiscent of Fear Factory's most potent moments of discovery, its hardly a stroll down the old assembly line. The combination of technological advancements and experience of Fear Factory have evolved like a computer virus, constantly reconfiguring itself to maximize its destructive impact.

hell fucking yesss

i haven't really listened to any fear factory stuff since digimortal, which was *ok* but hardly mindblowing like obsolete or demanufacture. several of my friends recommend transgression too, i should really get around to listening to that at some point!

might check out this new one too.

also their album covers suck!

Will eagerly give this a listen but... that title? Seriously? THAT title??

fuck yeah
