{"product_id":"concrete","title":"Concrete","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eConcrete\u003c\/em\u003e is a 2002 album that marked the end of L.A. band \u003cstrong\u003eFear Factory\u003c\/strong\u003e's impressive series of albums for Roadrunner Records, despite being their first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConfused? Let us clarify - or you can read the two sets of liner notes included in the package. Prior to signing with Roadrunner, \u003cstrong\u003eFear Factory\u003c\/strong\u003e recorded a full album in 1990 with producer Ross Robinson. Although the band had a falling out with Robinson, a cassette recording of that album led to their signing with Roadrunner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the success of 1995's \u003cem\u003eDemanufacture\u003c\/em\u003e, Roadrunner acquired the album rights from Robinson but delayed its release until 2002, during the band's hiatus from the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMore intriguing than the backstory is the music itself. \u003cem\u003eConcrete\u003c\/em\u003e is a treasure trove for \u003cstrong\u003eFear Factory\u003c\/strong\u003e fans - half of the songs are new, while the other half were re-recorded for their debut album, \u003cem\u003eSoul of a New Machine\u003c\/em\u003e. Fans may even recognize bits of the new songs that appeared on later albums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAbove all, \u003cem\u003eConcrete\u003c\/em\u003e solidifies \u003cstrong\u003eFear Factory\u003c\/strong\u003e's early mastery of the heavy verse-melodic chorus formula that influenced many nu-metal bands. To commemorate its first-ever LP release, we have remastered \u003cem\u003eConcrete\u003c\/em\u003e for a gun metal grey vinyl pressing.
