艺人介绍

FEAR FACTORY是死亡金属界最早推行创新主义的少数几支乐队之一，其音乐融合了工业噪音、电子采样和节奏以及狂暴、杂乱刺耳的吉他声响，从而创造出复杂多变、阴冷沉重的音乐。毫无疑问，这是一种悲观的、具有逃避倾向的声音，但它恰好表达了高度工业化的现代社会中许多人对生活的感受。猛烈夸张的旋律加上叙事诗般的意境当然会赢得众多的支持者，于是成功显而易见。

“对于我们来说做到这一切都并不容易，”吉他手Dino Cazares回忆说，事实的确如此。乐队成立于1990年的洛杉矶，最初由主唱 Burton C．Bell、吉他手Dino Cazares和鼓手Raymond Herrera组成，其后加入贝司手Andrew Shives。“那时还是艺术摇滚的天下，他们当然不能容忍我们的存在……，我们只能在一些小型的聚会上演出。”但乐手们丝毫不为所动，继续坚持创造属于自己的音乐，并且终于在洛杉矶的Death Metal公司为其发行了两首颇具影响力的单曲之后，与著名的Roadrunner唱片公司签约。1992年，乐队推出首张专辑《Soul Of A New Machine》，它标志着Fear Factory已经成为一支真正的死亡金属乐队，而同年发行的EP《Fear Is The Mind Killer》则更是Fear Factory对其音乐理念的实践和对独立音乐的探索，其后于1995年发行的《Demanufacture》和1997年的EP《Remanufacture》都是这种创新精神的延续，一直到现在的《Obsolete》。

“这是我们所做过的专辑当中最困难的一张，因为我是在塑造一个传奇故事，” Burton说：“这一直是我们唱片的一个主题，我们的观点是让Fear Factory 的故事一直延续下去。”而《Obsolete》将被证明是一个特别的挑战。“我们并不想重复以前自己所做过的事情，” Dino解释说：“这正是许多乐队失败的原因，他们总是一遍遍地重复着自己的过去，而我们总在做一些新的尝试，不断地寻求突破。对 Fear Factory来说，没有所谓的过去，只有更新的音乐。”

Fear Factory was one of the first bands to fuse the loud, crushing intensity of death metal with the cold harshness of industrial electronics and samples, producing a more varied sonic palette with which to express their bleak, pessimistic view of modern, technology-driven society. The group was formed in Los Angeles in 1990 by vocalist Burton C. Bell (formerly of Hate Face), percussionist Raymond Herrera, and guitarist and ex-Douche Lord Dino Cazares. Following their contribution of two tracks to the L.A. Death Metal compilation, Fear Factory signed to Roadrunner Records and released their debut album, Soul of a New Machine, in 1992, which featured new bass player Andrew Shives, added to allow Cazares to play guitar on tour. The following year's Fear Is the Mind Killer EP showed Fear Factory's willingness to experiment with their music and broaden its scope by placing tracks from their debut in the hands of remixers Rhys Fulber and Bill Leeb of Front Line Assembly; the EP also marked the debut of keyboardist Reynor Diego, who along with Fulber joined the band as a touring keyboardist. Shives was fired in 1994 and replaced by Christian Olde Wolbers. In 1995, Fear Factory released its second full-length album of new material, Demanufacture; it was followed two years later by another remix project, Remanufacture (Cloning Technology), which this time featured contributions from a number of different remixers, including many techno-oriented artists, as well as more from Fear Factory themselves. Steve Tushar replaced Diego in 1996. The members of the band have performed in a number of side projects, the most notable of which is Cazares' and Herrera's Brujeria; others include G/Z/R (Bell) and Nailbomb (Cazares). Fear Factory reconvened in 1998 for Obsolete, a record that found the band's well-established style fitting seamlessly into the growing alternative metal boom. As such, it became the band's biggest hit yet, hitting the Top 100 on the album charts. Fear Factory's profile was further boosted by appearances on several film soundtracks and on the 1999 Ozzfest tour. Their next album, 2001's Digimortal, entered the charts in the Top 40, but by the next year vocalist Bell decided to leave the band. Cazares was the one who eventually left the band, however, while Wolbers moved to guitar and Byron Stroud (Strapping Young Lad) was hired for the bass spot. Amidst the lineup changes, Roadrunner dropped the band and, in 2002, issued their original 1991 recordings on the compilation Concrete. Fear Factory moved to Liquid 8 for 2004's Archetype. The equally merciless Transgression followed in August 2005.
