Digimortal
Digimortal is the fourth studio album by American industrial metal band Fear Factory, released on 24 April 2001 through Roadrunner Records. It is a concept album, and it closes a trilogy that began with Demanufacture and carried on through Obsolete, so it makes most sense heard as the last chapter of that story rather than in isolation.
The record also marks the end of an era for the band. It was their final album before they officially split in March 2002, though they reformed in 2003. Its sound draws on industrial metal, groove metal and alternative metal, with a nod to nu metal, which makes it a useful place to hear where the band stood at the turn of the millennium. Fans of the earlier records will want to hear how the trilogy finishes.
