Fear Factory Discography

The discography of Fear Factory, an American industrial metal band, consists of eight studio albums (including a remix album), two compilation albums, two extended plays (EP), thirteen singles, one video album, and ten music videos. The group was formed in 1989 and three years later, signed to Roadrunner Records and released their debut album, Soul of a New Machine. The following year, was issued Fear Is the Mindkiller, an EP featuring remixes by Rhys Fulber and Bill Leeb of Front Line Assembly. In 1995, Fear Factory released their second full-length album, Demanufacture, which peaked at number 27 on the UK Albums Chart, and later certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI); 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 the band themselves.

Released in 1998, Obsolete became the band's most successful album, hitting the Top 30 in several countries, and later receiving a gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Their next album, 2001's Digimortal, peaked at number ten on the ARIA Charts, but by the next year, Fear Factory disbanded and Roadrunner issued their original 1991 recordings on the album Concrete. The band reformed sans Dino and resigned to Liquid 8 label for 2004's Archetype, which peaked at number 30 on the Billboard 200; followed by their next studio release, Transgression, appearing a year later. In 2009, Dino Cazares rejoined the band, and they recorded Mechanize, which was released the following year.
