Our final act from the big rock show down at the MTelus a while back was a band that has been around for quite a while, but has gone through several member changes over the years, Fear Factory. So many changes, that a few songs in to the set, lead singer Milo Silvestro, himself one of the new additions having only joined the band last year, introduced us to the "New and improved Fear Factory!" Those on hand certainly were happy. Through all the changes, the one constant as been guitarist Dino Cazares, who despite leaving the band himself in the mid-2000s, has been with Fear Factory through all of the good times, bad times and lawsuits since the very beginning. Getting back to the band, I couldn't find a better description for Fear Factory, than the one that is already on their own website. "Fear Factory records are cinematic
in scope; sonic landscapes, echoing the dystopian
post-apocalyptic futures found in classic sci-fi literature and films." Their songs and stage set-up fit that description perfectly. Fear Factory has also been cited by many others as being influential in their own style, including one Robb Flynn, the lead singer of Machine Head, who just happen to headline this recent tour. Fear Factory's most recent album, and tenth of their career, Aggression Continuum was released back in 2021 and last year Fear Factory released a revised version of their album 'The Industrialist', under the title of 'Re-Industrialized'. The first photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/160sec, ISO 4000 at 55mm and the second photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/1250sec, ISO 4000 at 24mm. Here are several more photographs that I took of Fear Factory during their performance.
