Fear Factory

Bio
During a time in modern rock when sameness is celebrated over substance and innovation has been all but forgotten, LA's heavy metal juggernaut, Fear Factory, remains a pioneering force in music. As one of the first bands in modern metal to mix hardcore with industrial beats and synthesizers, Fear Factory also experimented with full album remixes long before the practice came into vogue. Beyond that, vocalist, Burton C. Bell took inspiration from singers like Soundgarden's Chris Cornell, Andrew Eldridge from Sisters of Mercy and The Mission UK's Wayne Hussey to forge a distinctive vocal style blending melodic lyrical delivery with aggressive vocals. That's right; Fear Factory did it first.
