To commemorate 25 years of genre-defining music, roadrunner will Re-release those albums that are truly metal classics, each with bonus content relevant to the era in which it was put to tape. For metal fans, these are the ultimate editions of must-have albums. Bonus disc includes 'Remanufacture', with rare remixes, outtakes and unreleased music. 2005.
To commemorate their 25th Anniversary, Roadrunner Records will be re-issuing a series of landmark releases with plenty of extra and previously unheard material. To honor one of the most unique and ground-breaking metal albums of the 90's, Roadrunner pulled out all the stops and spared no expense. "Demanufacture," Fear Factory's epic masterpiece from 1995, as presented here, in a deluxe two disc set, with a grand total of 33 tracks, is everything and anything a hardcore Fear Factory fan could ever want. Aside from the classic "Demanufacture" album being remasted with all it's b-sides and scattered remixes intact, within this package, you also get "Remanufacture," the previously released and appropriately titled remix album. So, if you're not up on your Fear Factory discography, this is a good way to kill two birds with one stone. If you already own the originals (and even the "Demanufacture" digipak), there are still a few treats to make this worth your purchase. And let's not forget how crisp the newly remastered "Demanufacture" sounds in 2005! The original had a rather crushing, spacious sound, but somehow they managed to take things up a notch with a few minor alterations. As for the actual album itself, "Demanufacture" is arguably Fear Factory at their best. While fans tend to bump heads as to which album is their best, I don't think anyone can deny that this is the one album that perfectly captures ALL of Fear Factory's dynamics. The signature rhythm section of Raymond Herrera and Christian Olde Wolbers, the buzz-saw riffs of Dino Cazares and the brutal growl and beautiful melody of frontman Burton C. Bell -- it's all perfected to a science here. The electronic influence the band aquired after the "Fear Is The Mindkiller" EP (which contained remixes from the unusually thrashy "Soul Of A New Machine") becomes a huge element of the band's sound here, and really helps set them apart from their peers -- at the time at least, as many bands have popped up over the years, whose influence can obviously be traced back to Fear Factory. Also, as noted in the liner notes, it helps to push along the theatrical element of the band, their interest in sci-fi that got them dubbed as "Terminator Rock," with "H-K (Hunter-Killer)" being the prime example. Fear Factory truly carved out a name for themselves with this album. They really did something that no one had done before, and if someone were looking for a place to start on Fear Factory, I would point them in this direction. I recommend this re-release to any Fear Factory fan. There is just so much material to absorb, and you get it all at a rather fair price. Although the remixes that are tacked onto the end of "Remanufacture" (and also appeared on the "Hatefiles" release) are rather redundant, most of the remixes, which were experiments in themselves, are pulled off rather well, and add new elements to songs that already had so much potency to begin with. And I really can't say enough good things about "Demanufacture." As far as I am concerned, it's an essential metal record. It is by far one of the most interesting and original things to come out of the 90's, and really broke down a lot of walls. If you don't own it already, what better time than now?
