Fear Factory/The Industrialist/Candlelight Records/2012 CD Review


  Fear  Factory  are  a  band  from   L.A California  that  have  had  their  previous  album  reviewed  in  this  zine  that  are  very  well  known  in  the  metal  world  with  a  musical  style  that  mixes  industrial  with  groove  and  death  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2012  album  "The  Industrialist"  which  was  released  by  Candlelight  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  some  blast  beats  being  thrown  into  the  music  at  times,  while  the  keyboards  bring  in  atmospheric,  industrial  and  experimental  music  sounds  into  the  music,  as  for  the  bass  playing  it  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  is  coming  out  of  the  guitars.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  riffs  that  combine  industrial,  groove  and  death  metal  together,  while  the  lead  guitars  when  they  are  utilized  are  very  melodic  sounding  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  range  from  industrial/groove  metal  shouts  and  growls  to clean  singing,  while  the  lyrics  cover  forward  thinking,  science  fiction,  everyday  events  and  anti  religion  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  to  it.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  recording  from  Fear  Factory  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  band,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "New  Messiah"  "God  Eater"  "Virus  Of  Faith"  and  "Disassemble".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
