Fear Factory - Concrete [Gun Metal Grey]

Unveil the heavy, earth-shattering sounds of Fear Factory with their compelling work, Concrete, an album that intriguingly serves as the band’s last with Roadrunner Records yet stands as their first recorded effort. Released in 2002, this vinyl edition is not just a nostalgic revisit but a deep dive into the roots of a pioneering sound that would shape the nu-metal genre.

Originally recorded in 1990, Concrete captures the raw energy and innovation of Fear Factory during their formative years, long before global fame awaited them with their landmark album Demanufacture. This collectible pressing in striking gun metal grey vinyl is remastered, enhancing the ferocity and clarity of tracks that offer a tantalizing glimpse into the band's evolution.

The album presents a mix of fresh material alongside reimagined gems from their debut, Soul of a New Machine. Spotting tracks like "Martyr" and "Zero Signal," fans will find early glimpses of the heavy verse-melodic chorus formula that influenced countless artists after them. Concrete is more than just music; it's an artifact of Fear Factory's legacy and a testament to their forward-thinking in heavy metal.

For collectors and fans, this first-ever LP release is an unmissable opportunity to own a piece of history that encapsulates the band's ingenuity and grit, echoing the sound of a genre still resonating with fervor today.
