The 2025 reissue of Obsolete revives Fear Factory’s groundbreaking industrial metal masterpiece. Pressed on clear & black marbled vinyl and including a 4-page booklet, this edition is a must-have for collectors.
Originally released in 1998, Obsolete marked Fear Factory’s peak — where man and machine merged through sound. The album blends crushing riffs, electronic layers, and melodic vocals with surgical precision. Tracks like Shock, Edgecrusher, and Resurrection remain as powerful and relevant as ever. Its dystopian concept explores a world where technology replaces humanity — eerily prophetic today.
The 2025 reissue delivers the album in full analog strength on clear & black marbled vinyl. The included 4-page booklet features lyrics, artwork, and insights from the band’s creative process.
Obsolete defined industrial metal, balancing aggression with mechanical beauty. Fear Factory pushed the genre forward while maintaining pure metallic intensity. On vinyl, the contrast between clarity and distortion feels more alive than ever. This reissue honors a true milestone in heavy music history — essential for every vinyl collection.
