Fear Factory

Transgression Fear Factory

Transgression is the second Fear Factory album to feature guitarist Christian Olde Wolbers, and it marks the first appearance of ex-Strapping Young Lad bassist Byron Stroud. Despite the new line-up, the pioneering industrial-metal band loses none of its patented tightness or aggression. Starting with the reverb-drenched Depeche Mode-meets-Megadeth sonic onslaught of '540,000 Degrees Fahrenheit', the group refines its unique brand of new wave-influenced thrash, pausing only to deliver a surprisingly faithful cover version of U2's 'I Will Follow'. Features 14 total tracks including the 3 live bonus tracks 'Slave Labor', 'Cyber Waste' & 'Drones'. Roadrunner. 2005.
