Fear Factory Concrete

Concrete is a pivotal and long-mythologised chapter in the early history of Fear Factory. Though released in 2002, the material was originally recorded in 1990 with producer Ross Robinson, making it both the last and, in many ways, the first record of the band’s influential Roadrunner era.

These sessions pre-date the groundbreaking Soul of a New Machine and the genre-defining Demanufacture, capturing Fear Factory at their raw, formative stage. Half the tracks would later appear in re-recorded form on their official debut, while others reveal early riffs, structures and ideas that would shape their industrial-metal blueprint for years to come. Even at this embryonic stage, the band had already perfected their signature dynamic — crushing, mechanised verses colliding with soaring melodic choruses — a template that would influence an entire generation of modern metal.

This Remastered Edition is pressed on striking Silver and Purple “Decepticons” Vinyl, strictly limited to 300 copies, making it an essential collector’s piece for dedicated fans. Brutal, historically significant and foundational to the Fear Factory legacy, Concrete stands as a crucial document of a band on the brink of redefining heavy music.
