Aggression Continuum is the tenth studio album by American
heavy metal band
Fear Factory, released on June 18, 2021.[1]
Album information
It is the band's first studio album since Genexus (2015), marking the longest gap between two albums in their entire career.
The reasons behind the six-year gap between Genexus and Aggression Continuum were due to creative and personal differences, and legal issues surrounding the band, all of which contributed to Fear Factory going on an extended hiatus and
Burton C. Bell leaving the band in 2020 after more than three decades as their singer.[2][3][4][5] Despite this, Bell's vocals are present on the album, as they were recorded in 2017.[1][6][7]
Aggression Continuum saw Fear Factory's lineup intact (on the record at least) for the first time since Transgression (2005), with
Mike Heller on drums and founding member
Dino Cazares contributing to both guitar and bass.
The album received positive reviews. It was elected by Loudwire as the 33rd best rock/metal album of 2021.[15] The single "Disruptor" was elected by the same publication as the 12th best metal song of the same year.[16]
