Aggression Continuum
Aggression Continuum is the tenth studio album by Fear Factory, the American industrial metal band whose run of records stretches back to Soul of a New Machine in 1992. It came out on 18 June 2021 through Soyuz Music and sits in the groove metal and industrial metal territory the group has worked in throughout its career.
It follows Genexus from 2015, and it arrived with a few companions. An instrumental version, released on 17 September 2021, strips the songs down to the playing, which is handy for anyone who wants to focus on the riffs and machine-like rhythms. A remixed collection called Recoded followed on 28 October 2022, with other hands reworking the album's songs. For listeners who have followed the band since the Demanufacture and Obsolete days, it is the next chapter.
