''Concrete'' is a demo Album of the early Fear Factory , recorded in 1991 as pre-'' Soul Of A New Machine '' cuts and re-released on July 30, 2002 on CD .

Although released in 2002, ''Concrete'' was originally recorded in 1991 in Blackie Lawless ' studios. It was intended to be their first release, but the band wasn't happy with the record deal they were in, so they ditched their Producer , Ross Robinson . When they were taken to court, Robinson won the rights to the album, and the band won the rights to songs. So Fear Factory ended up re-recording eight of the tracks from this album for their official 1992 debut, '' Soul Of A New Machine ''.

Incidentally, Robinson ended up using this album to promote himself, which would eventually lead him to producing Korn , which would make him one of the most sought-out Nu Metal producers of the 1990s. The band's record label ( Roadrunner ) released this album after their (now temporary) breakup to fulfill their contractual duties.

CREDITS



NOTES

  • Track 3, "Concrete" was later renamed as "Concreto" and released as Track #3 with new lyrics and music in 1994 as the Roadrunner single, Dog Day Sunrise and as a bonus track for the Obsolete album.

  • Track 4, "Crisis" contains a sample from the film Apocalypse Now .

  • Track 7, "Soulwomb" was later renamed to "Soulwound" during the '' Obsolete ''-era.

  • Track 15, "Piss Christ" is not to be confused with "Pisschrist" on their 1995 album, '' Demanufacture ''; it's a completely different song.

  • Track 16, "Ulceration" is named after Fear Factory 's former name. They were known as "Ulceration" while forming in 1989 before renaming to Fear Factory in 1990. It's not a real word; they just thought it sounded cool for a group name.

  • Track 6, "Sangre De Ninos" was originally featured on one of the Cry Now, Cry Later 7" compilations. Fear Factory had recorded under the name Factoria de Miedo (which is Fear Factory in Spanish) to hide out from their major label. "Sangre De Ninos" means "Blood of children" in Spanish.

  • Track 9, "Dragged Down by the Weight of Existence" was rerecorded on '' Soul Of A New Machine '' as "W.O.E." (Weight of Existence).

  • The opening for "Echoes of Innocence" was used for "A Therapy For Pain" on '' Demanufacture ''.
