After missing Fear factory the last few times they've played in London for various annoying reasons, seeing them for the first time after years of listening to them was highly anticipated and they didn't dissapoint. They played old school classics from their now 20 year old first album (soul of a new machine) matyr and self immolation and played a mixure of new and old playing songs like powershifter and recharger from new albums and playing fan favorites like shock, smasher/devourer demanufacture, Linchpin and more. A fantastice show at an awesome venue can't wait to see them agan next year!

Sacred Mother ongue were decent very listenable, not a fan of textures at all would have definately swapped the order of those two.

It was my first time see The Mighty Industrialist's Fear Factory in the flesh and I wanted to see them for a long time, MAN! Its worth the wait. Venue was great to see, quite alot of people turned up (most of them up in the higher floors) and I had the best view in the house, right up the barriers near the bass speakers next to the mighty DINO, listening to old and new tunes such as "CARS", "SHOCK", "REPLICA", "DEMANUFACTURE", "EDGECRUSHER", "POWERSHIFTER", "FEAR CAMPAIGN", "RECHARGER" and many more...
Speakers were blowing me away as well as the energy of fear factory putting there effort in into each song and the crowd as well as I were in the spirit of joining in of singing, moshing and all round headbanging. This was a great night that I will never forget as long as I live, no doubt this will be my favourite christmas and life changing moment ever.

had no problem driving to the event, easy to find, hard to park but then again its london so of corse it would be. the venue itself was perfect size, drink prices were reasonable with all the deals. i didn't like Textures who were second on stage but i saw other people enjoying them and chilled out upstairs on the comfortable sofas until fear factory put on the best show yet playing some classics that they havent played in over 10 years!!!!! and then me and my friends stayed afterwoods and MET fearfactory!!!! very happy, friendly people. i cant wait for them to come back next year!

2nd time seeing Fear Factory live. Good gig, they had lots of energy and put on a good show. Too bad they only started playing "Demanufacture" 1 hour + into the set... Singer Burton Bell has somewhat lost his clean voice and was straining a bit, but his growls were very good as always.

An amazing night in a close and intimate venue. I was right at the front clinging to the barrier for dear life despite my crutches getting in my way! lol.
Fear Factory were awesome, totally rocked my night even better than I thought it would be. I had a fantastic time and it was topped off by meeting Dino and Burton after the show in The Cherry Lounge!

Daath were great, sounded good, I'd not heard them before but I will be looking for their music in the future. High on Fire put my group into a trance of boredom, we did not like the band even though the sound was still fairly good.
Fear Factory had the place in the palm of their hand inspiring some of the most chaotic circle pits I've seen. The band's sound was perfect apart from Burton's microphone that needed to be replaced twice. They played all the songs we wanted to hear and all the new ones that we now enjoy with a good light show and the two guitarists swapping places often to keep the stage interesting. Overall I found this a memorable concert not only for the excellent music but also because of the freezing cold conditions we overcame in order to attend, and it was well worth it.

Great show, good sound (though I've heard better), very good playlist. Only issue was that the singer's mike didn't work properly for the first 5-6 songs, which was a bit annoying.

Burtons vocals were pretty poor during the melodic sections and blighted by sound issues, the drummer was a little off at times too. The demanufacture section of the gig was excellent. Fear Factory are always a bit hit and miss, tonight I felt they were a miss, they were much better at bloodstock.
High on Fire were quite entertaining, they sounded like a cross between Queens of the Stoneage and Mastadon, they had a good image and it will be interesting to see how they evolve.
I didn't enoy Daath so much, they sound like every other metal core band out there and there wasn't much about them that made them unique. I know it's hard when the only way to get signed is by sounding like everyone else but you've got to at least attempt to make your mark. The lead guitar player was very annoying.

Fear factory are back with a bang mechanize is a brutal return to form and having Dino and Burton back togethor is a great combination. I saw fear factory on the Transgression tour and whilst they were good then they were Unbelievable this time round.
Byron has established himself in the band and is vastly underated with his hard solid thumping bass lines. Dino is back and sounding better than ever on guitar even throwing in some sly solos showing that hes not just a master riffs man. Burton is screaming as loud as he did when i 1st saw them 16 years ago but the greatest addition in my opinion is Gene Hoglan on drums. I loved Raymond he is an awesome drummer but Gene in my opinion is even better he drums at unreal speeds and incredibly technical with out ever looking like its hard. He has given fear factory there edge back and whilst i love old fear factory hearing the De-manufacture classics played by the current line-up made them even better. The show was a great mix of old and new material even throwing in some pleasant surprise like Dog Day sunrise and securiton the mechanize tracks are awesome and it has fast climbed up to being in the same class as demanufacture and obsolete in my opinion. Powershifter is a brutal assault on the senses live while Lynchpin had the room bouncing from back to front.
A great return and great support to Daath were amazing and on the way up for me.
High on fire while not to everyones taste are a breath of fresh air in the heavy rock world with a great mix of old and new metal influences.
To top it all met the band after the show and all i can say is many other bands should take note of how fear factory are with there fans.
Top guys with time to talk to everyone and sign merch and photos.
Great people Best gig of my year and 1 Me and my son will remember for a long time.
Thank You Fear Factory and hurry back with new material and tour soon.

It was one amazing gig, started off by a band called Daath who I had never really listened to until I saw them live, I guessed from that point, things were only going to get better, and I was right. Next up was a band who I have been a fan of called High on Fire who as usual were amazing. Then it was time for the main band, Fear Factory. They were stunning. The music was incredible, and their attitude towards the gig was fantastic. I just wish they could have played all night.
