Skkra recommends… Descent by Fear Factory!

Yeah, I know I did another Fear Factory song just a few days ago, but this is just too good not to include.

Obsolete is not my favorite Fear Factory album. Half of it is simply average. But songs like this one are top tier.

The riff work of Dino Cazares is at a peak here, with a straightforward but metal-as-hell melody that drives the entire song. Christian Olde Wolbers is on bass here, and unlike past albums that did not provide a lot of breathing room for any bass work, this album provides some space to actually hear some nice growling metal bass.

This whole album is probably worth listening to, but even if you don’t, you need to check this tune out.
