THE REVIEW
Attention!
The album in question is a BOMB! Yes, because "Demanufacture," undoubtedly the best album by Fear Factory, is an explosive mix, ready to devastate your stereo speakers. Released in '95, during a period when the sound of modern nu-metal was being defined, "Demanufacture" is the manifesto of Fear Factory and their powerful industrial vibe, and except for the baroque and concluding "A Therapy For The Pain," there is truly nothing to discard. Tracks like "Zero Signal," "Replica," or "New Breed," where FF shout "WE ARE THE FUTURE!!!" are anthology-worthy and will have your head banging even if you're lounging in an armchair and listening to the album on a Magneti Marelli stereo...
In short, "Demanufacture" is an unmissable album for all metal fans and not just them, a milestone that has opened the doors to many subsequent bands. After all, FF themselves say it: "WE ARE THE FUTURE." And how can you not believe them...

Fear Factory has been one of those few bands that have used electronic inserts and a DJ's deck in a genre that had always despised the inclusion of such elements.
Demanufacture is an album made of cold songs... with repetitive, surgical, and jaw-crushing riffs.
By Zerstorer
Burton Bell’s voice, which at first seems almost robotic but then explodes into a hard, devastating growl that leaves no room to breathe.
This record is among the best in the genre, and represents the peak of the band’s inspiration.
By PAZZO AL SACCO
"He realizes there’s something different compared to the previous work. A devastating sound."
"Each song is a perfect blend of violent urbanity, corrosive and incisive riffs, powerful sound under a large melodic bell that sews the whole structure together."
