Demanufacture - CD

"Demanufacture" just bleeds rage and dissidence. Newcomer Christian Olde Wolbers did a damn good job on bass, as his presence is felt everywhere on here, matching perfectly with both Raimond Herrera’s frenetic double-bass attack and Dino Cazare’s surgically precise riffs.

“Replica” and “New Breed,” two of the slower numbers, were given added heft due to his playing. Burton C. Bell’s vocal changed significantly, he adopted a more hardcore approach. Still, Bell’s Good Robocop/Bad Robocop vocals elevated this album to levels unattainable to most mere mortals, including Fear Factory themselves. This is still heralded as an absolute classic in the world of metal!
