     ─ Release notes ─────────────────────────────────────── ─── ─ ─

     Summary: The evidence is simply too overwhelming. The
     court has no choice but to rule in favor of Dino and
     Burton.

     If the only evidence allowed in the legal battle over
     the Fear Factory moniker was music, the case would
     already be over. In that regard, the facts against
     Christian Wolbers and Raymond Herrera are just too
     overwhelming to ignore. To begin with, there are the
     two albums that were released without Dino Cazares on
     guitar. The first release is simply a decent attempt at
     emulating his style, and the second is widely
     considered to be a near disaster. Then there is the
     Arkaea release - an album that would have sunk Fear
     Factory to new lows if it had actually been issued with
     the band's name. These facts alone are probably enough
     to prove that Christian should never write another riff
     for the band again, but there is still one more piece
     of evidence left to evaluate: Mechanize.

     It turns out that even more than the underwhelming
     Arkaea release, this album proves that the name belongs
     with Dino and Burton. These two, along with Gene Hoglan
     and Byron Stroud, have released the album that most
     Fear Factory fans have been clamoring for since
     Digimortal. Mechanize is an album full of rapid-fire
     riffs, harsh shouts, clean singing, precision
     percussion and industrial flourishes all wrapped in a
     cold, mechanized production courtesy of Rhys Fulber
     (Front Line Assembly, Paradise Lost). More importantly,
     it's an album that doesn't contain the nu metal
     influence, crappy cover songs (how do you mess up
     Killing Joke???) or blatant attempts to reach the
     mainstream - an album that could sit comfortably among
     the band's first three releases, but with better
     songwriting than any of them. In a nutshell, it's
     everything that the band has been unwilling or unable
     to do since Dino was removed.

     Despite all of the nods to the band's glory days,
     Mechanize is more than just an attempt to relive the
     past, though. This effort to expand their sound
     (however slight) is mainly apparent in the increased
     role of the electronics. From the piano section at the
     beginning of "Christploitation" to the faint synth
     melodies that run beneath most of the riffs, it's
     obvious that Rhys Fulber was given a lot of room to
     work. Dino Cazares has also expanded his repertoire by
     occasionally changing things up with quick leads or a
     slightly thrashy riff - although these are generally
     fleeting moments and nothing new if youÆve heard his
     other band, Divine Heresy. More so than what the band
     chose to include and exclude, the most astonishing
     thing about the album is the level of conviction that
     runs through it. Vocalist Burton C. Bell has delivered
     one of the most visceral vocal performances of his
     career. He sounds positively pissed off on every track,
     and his clean vocals are powerful and tastefully done.
     On the musical side, drummer Gene Hoglan delivers a
     more forceful and aggressive performance than Raymond
     Herrera ever seemed capable of, and the riffs are some
     of the most aggressive and heavy of the band's career.

     Despite all of the things Raymond and Christian have
     done to prove that they probably shouldn't be allowed
     to retain the Fear Factory name, it turns out that the
     biggest reason has come from Dino and Burton. Quite
     simply, Mechanize corrects all of the band's past
     missteps including those made prior to Dino's
     departure. It is a collection of everything that made
     them great without any of the extraneous influences
     that came later. Mechanize is heavy rhythmic riffs
     locked in with double bass, violent shouts and powerful
     clean singing, industrialized effects, and strong
     songwriting. It's the sound of a band reinvigorated - a
     band ready to prove to fans that they're back and ready
     to push the Fear Factory name to levels that it hasn't
     occupied in years. Sorry Christian and Raymond - with
     Mechanize the fans have won, but that also means that
     you both lose.

     Summary: The evidence is simply too overwhelming. The
     court has no choice but to rule in favor of Dino and
     Burton.

     If the only evidence allowed in the legal battle over
     the Fear Factory moniker was music, the case would
     already be over. In that regard, the facts against
     Christian Wolbers and Raymond Herrera are just too
     overwhelming to ignore. To begin with, there are the
     two albums that were released without Dino Cazares on
     guitar. The first release is simply a decent attempt at
     emulating his style, and the second is widely
     considered to be a near disaster. Then there is the
     Arkaea release - an album that would have sunk Fear
     Factory to new lows if it had actually been issued with
     the band's name. These facts alone are probably enough
     to prove that Christian should never write another riff
     for the band again, but there is still one more piece
     of evidence left to evaluate: Mechanize.

     It turns out that even more than the underwhelming
     Arkaea release, this album proves that the name belongs
     with Dino and Burton. These two, along with Gene Hoglan
     and Byron Stroud, have released the album that most
     Fear Factory fans have been clamoring for since
     Digimortal. Mechanize is an album full of rapid-fire
     riffs, harsh shouts, clean singing, precision
     percussion and industrial flourishes all wrapped in a
     cold, mechanized production courtesy of Rhys Fulber
     (Front Line Assembly, Paradise Lost). More importantly,
     it's an album that doesn't contain the nu metal
     influence, crappy cover songs (how do you mess up
     Killing Joke???) or blatant attempts to reach the
     mainstream - an album that could sit comfortably among
     the band's first three releases, but with better
     songwriting than any of them. In a nutshell, it's
     everything that the band has been unwilling or unable
     to do since Dino was removed.

     Despite all of the nods to the band's glory days,
     Mechanize is more than just an attempt to relive the
     past, though. This effort to expand their sound
     (however slight) is mainly apparent in the increased
     role of the electronics. From the piano section at the
     beginning of "Christploitation" to the faint synth
     melodies that run beneath most of the riffs, it's
     obvious that Rhys Fulber was given a lot of room to
     work. Dino Cazares has also expanded his repertoire by
     occasionally changing things up with quick leads or a
     slightly thrashy riff - although these are generally
     fleeting moments and nothing new if you’ve heard his
     other band, Divine Heresy. More so than what the band
     chose to include and exclude, the most astonishing
     thing about the album is the level of conviction that
     runs through it. Vocalist Burton C. Bell has delivered
     one of the most visceral vocal performances of his
     career. He sounds positively pissed off on every track,
     and his clean vocals are powerful and tastefully done.
     On the musical side, drummer Gene Hoglan delivers a
     more forceful and aggressive performance than Raymond
     Herrera ever seemed capable of, and the riffs are some
     of the most aggressive and heavy of the band's career.

     Despite all of the things Raymond and Christian have
     done to prove that they probably shouldn't be allowed
     to retain the Fear Factory name, it turns out that the
     biggest reason has come from Dino and Burton. Quite
     simply, Mechanize corrects all of the band's past
     missteps including those made prior to Dino's
     departure. It is a collection of everything that made
     them great without any of the extraneous influences
     that came later. Mechanize is heavy rhythmic riffs
     locked in with double bass, violent shouts and powerful
     clean singing, industrialized effects, and strong
     songwriting. It's the sound of a band reinvigorated - a
     band ready to prove to fans that they're back and ready
     to push the Fear Factory name to levels that it hasn't
     occupied in years. Sorry Christian and Raymond - with
     Mechanize the fans have won, but that also means that
     you both lose.
