Fear Factory is an American industrial metal band. They were formed in Los Angeles, California in 1989 and disbanded in early 2002. They reformed the following year adding Byron Stroud (of Strapping Young Lad) as their current bass player. Their classic line-up was Burton C. Bell (vocals), Dino Cazares (guitars), Christian Olde Woblers (bass) and Raymond Herrera (drums) between 1994 and break up time. Milo Silvestro became the band's vocalist in 2021 after Burton C.
