[RSD26 RELEASE] Fear Factory's 2001 release Digimortal went Top 40, but it's only come out in Germany on vinyl back in 2007. And it's reissue now couldn't be more timely. Another in a string of concept albums that began with Demanufacture and continued with Obsolete, "Digimortal" was short for "Digital Mortality," presciently exploring the theme of man and machine melding into one (spoiler: it doesn't end well). Musically, the band simplified it's sound and added a touch more melody, but make no mistake: this is nu metal/death metal at it's most intense, with an interesting techno overlay. Maybe "cybercore" would be the best term to describe this album, now coming out on it's 25th anniversary for Record Store Day in an expanded edition featuring four bonus tracks never before on vinyl and exclusive to this Record Store Day edition. [ONLY 2000 MADE.]
