Fear Factory - Self Bias Resistor

[@j.vinton4039]

Fear Factory had a sound that set them apart from the metal bands at the time, shame they never got more recognized than they did.

[@jerknorris2483]

J. Vinton I agree those vocals are angelic man

[@PeaceDweller]

If it weren't for Fear Factory bands like Slipknot, Korn and Deftones would have never entered the mainstream. FF were the first band to bridge the gap between Metal and the mainstream audience after Metal seemingly died in the early 90s.

[@Anerisian]

Ironically, the band themselves didn’t seem to understand it. They would often butcher it, play odd basslines etc. when it really is harmonically Bm-F#-A-E (Amajor scale, or technical dorian B) just played with an inverted power chord every second time. It’s strange that they rarely tried catchy and harmonically nice ever again. There’s a bit in Scumgrief, and there is a bit in Pisschrist, but that’s almost it. Too bad.

[@Anerisian]

make that F# minor…. you can play it also as Am-Em-G-D in cowboy chords.

[@njrivetelite]

This song and album is still absolutely amazing compared to anything out today.. It aged very well

Burton C bell was th emost original in the fact he would sing his clean parts like some 80's singers. (also why they covered GAry Numans Cars) this ocmbined with the harsh metal and deep growls... there is nothing like it. His clean vocals are like the "human" PART OF FEAR FACTORY SONGS, A THROWBACK. the rest is fighting the machione, the brutality, the metal, the cold steel, the erasion of human societ,.

I'm not sure what you guys are on about but Burton Bell's clean vocals do not sound good live because he uses a bad technique for his screaming vocals which destroyed his vocal chords.

Hard to believe this album is already 25 years old. Such a fucking masterpiece of an album. Fear Factory never got the proper love in music world imo.

[@Deliz1]

Yeah doesnt sound dated at all

[@MrStephen182]

I guess that is because FF were playing a lot faster than most industrial metal bands metal play their metal riffs and most industrial metal fans were not ready for that. I for one normally prefer my metal guitar riffs to be played slow but since FF had an industrial sound to them I could get into the band but I guess for lots of industrial metal fans the guitars were played just to fast. For those metal fans who loved fast guitar playing I guess there were just to many industrial metal sounds for them to enjoy this band. FF tried to be the bridge that brought metal fans who don't normally enjoy industrial metal (like thrash metal fans) into the world of industrial metal but failed. Such a shame. Guess industrial metal just has to much of a gothic subculture for them lol.
