Fear Factory – Aggression Continuum (2021)

May 2, 2023

Fear Factory hit quite the stride over the last decade or two. Unsure if you would class it as a second wind as such, but there has definitely been elements of revival and invigoration in the band’s sound. Of course, Burton is now gone, but that’s another story for another time. On Aggression Continuum, things have a very real danger of becoming stale, but despite that threat being ever-present, generally this is pretty solid and an enjoyable listen. Fear Factory sound more djent-y than ever, if I could make such a preposterous statement as I’m sure they’ve given their fair share of influence in forming that genre in the first place. What a strange time to be alive, eh?
