Fear Factory

About This Release

Fear Factory’s 2001 release Digimortal went Top 40, but its only vinyl release was in Germany back in 2007. And its reissue now couldn’t be more timely. Another in a string of concept albums that began with Demanufacture and continued with Obsolete, Digimortal was short for Digital Mortality, presciently exploring the theme of man and machine melding into one (spoiler: it doesn’t end well). Musically, the band simplified its sound and added a touch more melody but make no mistake: this is nu metal/death metal at its most intense, with an interesting techno overlay. Maybe “cybercore” would be the best term to describe this album, now coming out on its 25th anniversary for Record Store Day in an expanded edition featuring four bonus tracks never before on vinyl and exclusive to this Record Store Day edition, remastered for the format, pressed on black & blue splatter vinyl, and housed in a gatefold jacket. Limited to 2000 copies worldwide, and reissued with the full support of the band!This is a 2026 Record Store Day Release.
