Mankind is the sole studio album by Detroit rock band Factory 81.
Contents |
[edit] Production
The album was self-produced by the band under the title Manking.[3][4] A Detroit promoter sent out advertisements with the incorrect title Mankind instead.[3] The band liked the sound of this title and decided that since they had not printed any materials with their original title, they changed the name of the album.[3]
[edit] Music
Allmusic described Mankind as a fusion of "stomp-paced metal"[1] and "'new school' hardcore".[1] Influences cited by the band include genres such as jazz, fusion, and world music,[3] and the progressive metal band Tool.[3]
[edit] Release history
Mankind was originally issued on Medea Records in 1999.[1] It was reissued by Orchard in 2000[2] and Uptown/Universal on October 3, 2000.[2] In 2001, the album was reissued by the independent record label Mojo Music.[2]
