Album Review
One of the most influential band of the 90's is back with new members and new album. New members in the team are the drummer Mike Heller (ex- DISEMBOWEL) and the “big transfer” bassist Tony Campos (ex- BRUJERIA, PRONG, SOULFLY, CAVALEA CONSPIRACY, STATIC-X). The album is produced by Rhys Fulber, along with Bell and Cazares, and the mix is made by Andy Sneap, so the result is guaranteed! About the music now, the album is better than the previous one (‘The Industrialist’); ‘Genexus’ has enough of the air of the band 90s, mainly from ‘Demanufacture’, combined however with elements of ‘Mechanize’, but some of the less ‘Digimortal’. The album is more groovy than aggressive with less but very well putted keyboards. ‘Soul hacker’, ‘Promotech’, the self-titled ‘Genexus’ and ‘Church of execution’ are the best songs of the album and also ‘Regenerate’ and ‘Expiration Date’, a 9 minutes track with ambient elements, are very good. Nobody expects FEAR FACTORY to have the role they had in the 90's in the metal scene but they continue to offer us easy listening quality albums with catchy songs and very good sound.
