what are your honest thoughts on fear factory?are they truly the best 90s metal band?
>>127571522The vocals ruin it.
They slipstreamed into that gap of no solos (the trend of the era), making up for it with great rhythms. Sort of bridging the gap between thrash and groove metal, with tinges of industrial.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGSOZ8quCQUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RTJOpLGg2o
>>127571533Have you heard the instrumental tracks from Carmageddon?
>>127571522>best 90s metal bandWhite Zombie
>>127572778KEK. No fucking way. That title goes to Pantera.
>>127572810Pantera ruined metal with the tryhard toughguy shit. They both represented the groove metal turn of the 90s, but Phil is the reason metal became shit. Dimebag was cool though. He would have been great in White Zombie lol.
>>127571522This album is so much better than the rest of their discography, it's the perfect dystopian cyberpunk soundtrack and then on the next album they go nu-metal
>>127571522This album is 10/10 it was very different from everything else at the time. The follow up Obsolete got diluted and rapperfied so that's a 6/10
>>127571522strapping young lad is the best 90s industrial metal band, and yes I know they're a fear factory ripoff
>>127571533>The vocals ruin it.leave the thread
>>127571522like them or not but they made a ton of revolutions with these vocals, album mixings, guitar tones and other shit
>>127573553They are way more aggressive and unhinged than Fear Factory
>>127571522>>127573720People talk about Meshuggah but this album basically pioneered djent
Chaosphere mogs them all, but I love 90's Fear Factory and SYL
meshuggah post destroy erase improve is barely metal. it's more like technical metalcore.
Fear Factory's story is really odd, the band members all sued each other multiple times over who got the biggest slice of the pie. Everyone who gets involved in the band seems to get pulled into a bitter dispute over money.
>>127572767god damn it I wish I still had that CD, for both the game and the soundtrrack.Is there anywhere you can directly download the instrumental tracks?>>127571522They get slept on, especially on the Mortal Kombat movie soundtrack where everyone obviously all about the techno theme song.Also I guess I'm gonna get shit on but Obsolete is probably my favorite album of theirs. I just like how it feels more of a dystopian sci-fi concept album than Demanufacture.
>>127576016not that odd, what's odd is when a band manages to last decades with the same members with absolutely no drama.Mushroomhead, Slipknot, Static-X, Soulfly, Ill Nino, Marilyn Manson, etc etc etc. So many 90s bands are left with only just the one original member if they're so lucky.Bands like Mudvayne and SOAD don't really count since they took like 10+ years off.
>>127576016It's mostly Dino Cazares being a fat untrustworthy beaner. Ray Herrera is just a stoner who has enough of Dinos shit. IDK about Burton C Bell
Do they have any songs as good as Replica?
>>127571522I like them. Been listening to them since 7th grade. They're stuff without Dino is just as good as with.
>>127572849>ignorant redneck = tough guyum okay
>>127576139>They get slept onNah this is what I thought at like 15.They get slept on because they suck ass and besides being the forebears of nu-metal, are the linchpin of modern metalcore vocals. Everyone in 2012 forgot them because of how hated -core [rightfully] was and could draw a clear line from FF to that abortion of a genre.
>>127578947okay then retard
>>127571522drums were too muchwould have been better with less
>>127572849Nice cope there, faggot. Pantera were the kings in the 90’s.
>>127571522I have no opinion of them, I don't think i've ever listened to a fear factory song or album before. I don't listen to that kind of music
>>127571522>what are your honest thoughts on fear factory?Some good albums, songs are often held down by clean-ish vocal choruses that seldom fit.>are they truly the best 90s metal band?If "90s metal" means alternative metal as a broader movement including groove, industrial, etc., they're up there. Couldn't pick the best off-hand, it's been a while since I listened to all that.If you just mean timeframe, fuck no.
mortal kombat ost
>>127573837>djentfuck itfear factory sucks then>>127576729ray & wolbers(after a while of staying in the band) were the true stone of FF not the dino who does the same shit for metalheads for like 15 years
>>127573837destroy erase improve came out the same year
