The discography of Fear Factory, an American heavy metal band, consists of eight studio albums (including a remix album), two compilation albums, two extended plays (EP), seven singles, one video album, and eight music videos. The group was formed in 1990 and two years later, signed to Roadrunner Records and released their debut album, Soul of a New Machine. The following year, was issued Fear Is the Mindkiller, an EP featuring remixes by Rhys Fulber and Bill Leeb of Front Line Assembly. In 1995, Fear Factory released their second full-length album, Demanufacture, which peaked at number 27 on the UK Albums Chart, and later certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI); it was followed two years later by another remix project, Remanufacture (Cloning Technology), which this time featured contributions from a number of different remixers, including many techno-oriented artists, as well as from the band themselves.
Released in 1998, Obsolete became the band's most successful album, hitting the Top 30 in several countries, and later receiving a gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Their next album, 2001's Digimortal, peaked at number ten on the ARIA Charts, but by the next year, Fear Factory suffered some lineup changes, Roadrunner dropped the band and, in 2002, issued their original 1991 recordings on the album Concrete. The band then, resigned to Liquid 8 label for 2004's Archetype, which peaked at number 30 on the Billboard 200; followed by their lastest studio release, Transgression, appearing a year later. The album also includes a U2 cover for the song "I Will Follow".
