Contains 11 tracks. This limited edition of DEMANUFACTURE comes in a digipak. Not too many folks really took note at the time, but Fear Factory were really onto something with their 1992 debut album, Soul of a New Machine. Though it wasn't a beginning-to-end classic, it was an exceptional album and arguably ushered in the alternative metal era with its fusion of metal styles. When Fear Factory returned three years later with their follow-up, Demanufacture, the band's groundbreaking style of industrial- and death-informed metal came to fruition, and this time a great many folks did take note, resulting in one of the most successful metal releases of the '90s, commercially as well as artistically. On the surface, it almost seems like Demanufacture is a rewrite of Soul of a New Machine. Following a couple extreme side projects (i.e., Nailbomb, Brujeria), Fear Factory again flew in Earache Records production legend Colin Richardson, and again they fused together a number of elements characteristic of various metal subgenres. For instance, vocalist Burton C. Bell unleashes a ferocious death metal growl, yet he can also switch over to a Rob Halford-like vocal style when he wants to grace a given song with soaring melodic vocals for contrast. Moreover, guitarist Dino Cazares straddles the fence between industrial and death metal, as he plays machine-like riffs that chug away in lock step with likewise machine-like drummer Raymond Herrera yet breaks away at any given moment and takes off in a frenzied, very human direction. This "man-machine" sound -- real people playing real instruments live, though in an industrial, machine-like fashion -- is the essence of Fear Factory, and while Soul of a New Machine may have been the blueprint for this approach to metal (one that would be duplicated by a generation of bands within a few years), Demanufacture takes the approach a step further: same band, same idea, same production, same sound; better songs, better performances, better album, better reception. Perhaps the biggest improvement made here is the choice to write longer, more progressive songs (rather than the three- and four-minute song sketches of Soul) and shorten the song list (11 tracks opposed to 17). This makes for a much more engrossing listen, and one that better resonates in the end. Demanufacture may sound somewhat generic today in the wake of the myriad alternative metal bands that took cues from it, but make no mistake: it was one of the most exciting metal releases of its day and remains a landmark, even if Fear Factory continued to release similarly exceptional albums in the years to come. ~ Jason Birchmeier

The opening of the record prepares you to something really brutal. Submitted by Francisco (Vila Velha, ES, Brasil) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 1 found this helpful.
F.F. at its best this cd and Concrete are essential F.F.
after this they get a little too techno-ish for my taste check it out.

one of the best..................... thi simply is one of the 5 BEST METAL ALBUMS for me...the other 4 were from bands like sepultura,metallica,megadeth and pantera Submitted by kepyas (malaysia) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Once again, it's a true metal classic I'm glad I am now a fan of Fear Factory. I think they are the best industrial metal band although I have not heard very many industrial bands. Dont listen to people when they call this nu metal, it's far from that! Just because FF dont have guitar solos doesnt make them nu metal! This is truly FF's best work and will stand the test of time. The best songs are the title track, Self Bias Resistor, Replica, New Breed, Body Hammer, (H-K) Hunter-Killer and Pisschrist. Dino's raging guitar riff will make you bang your head like crazy, Raymond's machinegun drums are powerful and Burton's roar to sing vocals are amazing. If you are new to FF, this is where you should start. Get this and be amazed! Fans of Pantera, Rammstein, Metallica, Machine Head, Sevendust, Korn, Godsmack, Spineshank and many others will definattely latch on to this.

Since 2000's THELEMA.6, the band has been on an unbelievable hot streak, releasing one marathon of unrelenting punishment after another. The nine songs on EVANGELION don't represent any stylistic left turns for Behemoth. The brutal riffing, avalanches of drums, and firestorm vocals are all present throughout, as are ...
| | Lita Ford Wicked Wonderland CD (2009) Bonus Tracks
Demanufacture
$14.19 Personnel: Lita Ford (vocals, guitar); Stet Howland (drums). Audio Mixer: Jeremy Mackenzie. Photographer: Piggy D. Though former Runaways guitarist Lita Ford has been absent from the recording industry since 1997, she hasn't exactly been idle. After releasing Kiss Me Deadly, her final album after a string of them in the '80s and '90s, the music scene -- and the industry with it -- changed, and alternative ruled the airwaves. Ford got married to Jim Gillette, former vocalist with hair metal rockers Nitro, and started a family. In addition, she relocated to the Caribbean. Wicked Wonderland is uncharacteristic of the pop-metal she released a decade ago. It's an in-your-face metal record, but ultimately it's a very studied and calculated 21st century pop-metal record. It's an album with explicit sexual content, examining S&M, bondage, power exchanges, and all manner of kink and crave in lyrics, words, ...
