Fear Factory - Obsolete

Pressed on heavyweight 180 gram vinyl and housed with a four page booklet, Obsolete captures Fear Factory at the height of their creative power. A conceptual successor to Demanufacture, the album expands the band’s signature fusion of industrial precision, metallic muscle, and dystopian atmosphere. Released in a late-1990s metal landscape shifting toward darker, more mechanized territory, Fear Factory’s vision of the eternal struggle between humanity and technology felt urgent and prophetic.
With its cold mechanical rhythms, massive riffs, and cybernetic grooves, Obsolete remains one of the band’s most definitive statements, a landmark that continues to influence industrial metal decades after its release. Essential listening for longtime fans and anyone drawn to the genre’s heaviest, most forward-thinking sounds.
