Breaking Barriers
Breaking Barriers is an EP by Fear Factory, released in 1992 on Roadrunner Records. It arrived in the same year as the band's first studio album, Soul of a New Machine, so it belongs to the very start of their recorded story.
That places it at the beginning of a catalogue that would go on to include Demanufacture in 1995 and Obsolete in 1998. For anyone tracing how the band began, it is a short, early stop worth knowing about before moving on to the full-length records.
