With Genexus, FEAR FACTORY forges a new hyper-alloy of sound, extreme and idea. “We wanted to create a new hybrid,” states guitarist and founding songwriter Dino Cazares. “Something that summed up every aspect of who we are. Musically. Lyrically. You can hear the organic, the technological; the past and the future. It’s the next evolution of FEAR FACTORY.” This is FEAR FACTORY bringing every weapon in its sonic arsenal to bear. From the concrete-breaking staccato riffs that open the record with ‘Autonomous Combat System’ to the soaring melodies of ‘Dielectric’ to the album’s elegiacal closer, ‘Expiration Date,’ Genexus is an unforgiving and unforgettable statement from a band that has long pushed the boundaries of extreme music.

Genexus also signals the retooling of FEAR FACTORY’s rela­tionship with A&R legend and Nuclear Blast Entertainment head, Monte Conner, who signed the band to Roadrunner Records for such landmark recordings as 1995’s Demanu­facture and 1998’s Obsolete, the latter of which went on to sell half a million copies in North America and become FEAR FACTORY’s first gold record
