Fear Factory are celebrating 35 years of industrial metal excellence with their Australian tour, which kicked off last night in Fremantle at Metropolis. To mark the occasion, the band broke out a handful of songs from their Obsolete and Digimortal albums, which were the last records with guitarist Dino Cazares before he left the band in 2002.
The setlist included the rarity "Invisible Wounds (Dark Bodies), which has not been played live since 2001, the same year that Digimortal dropped. Fear Factory also broke out two Mechanize-era songs in "Industrial Discipline" and "Final Exit," which is the first time those have been played since 2010.
Fan-recorded footage has been posted online, with the setlist going as follows:
“What Will Become?“
“Slave Labor“
“Archetype“
“Industrial Discipline” (first time since 2010)
“Powershifter“
“Regenerate“
“Shock“
“Edgecrusher“
“Securitron” (Police State 2000)
“Descent“
“Disruptor“
“Linchpin“
“Invisible Wounds (Dark Bodies)” (first time since 2001)
“Scumgrief” (Deep Dub Trauma Mix)
“Demanufacture“
“Self Bias Resistor“
“Replica“
“Final Exit” (first time since 2010)
