Fan-filmed video footage of FEAR FACTORY's March 28 performance at House Of Rock in Corpus Christi, Texas can be seen below. FEAR FACTORY has just embarked on a U.S. headlining tour on which it is performing its classic second album, "Demanufacture", in its entirety. They are also showcasing songs from their new album, "Genexus", which came out on August 7, 2015 via Nuclear Blast.

It just went by fast. We feel that because that record has fan favorites, it would be good to do a tour around that just for a whole new generation of people who never got to see us during that time and that tour. To just play it in its entirety, man. To show respect to what was a record that opened a door to metal. It basically gave a facelift to metal. [Singer] Burt's [C.

Ever since then, that album just inspired and influenced so many other bands that if people that never heard 'Demanufacture' would listen to it today, they'd think it's a contemporary album."
