FEAR FACTORY
GENEXUS
Nuclear Blast
August 7, 2015
Fear Factory is playing Reverb in Reading PA this Friday (April 8, 2016).
They will be playing the entirety of "Demanufacture" to celebrate the 20th year anniversary of the classic LP. And by classic, I hope you realize this record went GOLD.
I truly hope that the word "entirety" means the band will include the covers of "Dog Day Sunrise" (which was on the standard edition of the album) and "Your Mistake" (which was a bonus track on some editions). I will lose my mind in Reading if they pull out the Agnostic Front cover.
See, when this album came out, not only was it groundbreaking in style, but this band earned mega points by covering both Head of David AND Agnostic Front. Up until that point, I thought I might be the only person who loved both of those bands. From that moment on, Fear Factory earned a spot in my heart.
"Genexus" continues on the legendary work of Fear Factory. Like all their albums, full enjoyment comes at full volume. Either loud enough for the neighbors to hear, or with headphones on. Or as we will experience, live and loud on April 8, 2016. "Anodized" was playing on Sirius Metal all the time when this album came out. Check "ProtoMech", "Soul Hacker" and "Dielectric" from "Genexus" below:
The fact that Soilwork is on the bill is also pretty special. I was actually introduced to Soilwork by a Hot Topic employee in Florida many years ago. While visiting Florida, probably wearing a Man Is The Bastard t-shirt, I was killing time while the family was shopping in the mall. I went to this Hot Topic store, I don't think we had any of Hot Topics stores in my home town at the time, and figured what the heck, better than heading in to Macys.
The employee comes up to me and says the obligatory, "Nice shirt". One thing leads to another and he says, have you heard Soilwork? I didn't listen to the disc in the store, just trusted him and bought the CD. I'll finally get to see Soilwork too! Damn!
