Fear Factory is a Groove Metal/Industrial Metal band from Los Angeles, California formed in 1989. The band was initially called Ulceration and was started by Dino Cazares (Guitars) and Raymond Herrera (Drums). They later added Burton C. Bell (Vocals) and Christian Olde Wolbers (Bass) after changing their name to Fear Factory.

Influenced by British Grindcore and extreme music such as Napalm Death and Godflesh, Fear Factory has pioneered a hybrid of Death Metal, Industrial Metal, Alternative Metal, and electronic music throughout their career.

Although their first album "Concrete" from 1991 wasn't released until 2002, it marked the debut production job for Ross Robinson who would go on to produce bands like Korn, Machine Head, and Slipknot.

Despite experiencing strong personal differences leading to break-ups in 2002 and subsequent hiatuses, Fear Factory re-formed multiple times with various lineup changes. In late 2020, founding member Burton C. Bell left the band but they announced on February 21st, 2023 that they have recruited Milo Silvestro as their new vocalist.

Fear Factory's breakthrough album Obsolete is a sequel to 1995's Demanufacture and a memorable concept album. The metal climate of the late 1990s was changing and their robotic music style perfectly fits in these developments. The Californian act focuses on the "man vs. machine" subject by playing industrial rock at full energy. They're heading in a slightly darker direction and building further on the Fear Factory sound. This album is considered essential by many fans of the band and of the genre, and even years later it still retains its originality and intensity. A must for any fan of Industrial music or of metal in general.

Fear Factory is an influential band in the industrial metal music. After nearly 30 years they're still performing and recording new records.
