It’s been 30 years since Fear Factory dropped Demanufacture, the mechanical masterpiece that helped define industrial metal for a generation. Now, in 2025, they’re firing it up all over again! Performing the album in its entirety on select U.S. headline shows as part of their ‘Demanufacture 30 Year Anniversary’ run.
The band broke the news in classic Fear Factory fashion, ominous slogans, war torn graphics and a rally cry for the “Resistance.” This isn’t just nostalgia bait though, they’re about to unload a full frontal tribute to a record that still hits like steel grinding bone.
The tour kicks off September 12 in Flagstaff, Arizona. Weaving through headline theatres and major festivals, with specific dates marked for the full Demanufacture experience. Cities like Springfield, West Chicago, Brooklyn, Milwaukee and San Diego are among the lucky few getting the entire album.

For dates on the Cavalera ‘Chaos A.D.’ Tour, Fear Factory will shift gears slightly. Instead delivering a brutalised retrospective set mixing tracks from Soul of a New Machine, Fear Is the Mindkiller and Demanufacture. Still heavy. Still cybernetic. Guitarist Dino Cazares made it clear this is no casual victory lap, this is about legacy. A legacy built on blast beats, dystopia and a vision of humanity on the brink.
With the band firing on all circuits and fans already clawing for tickets, this may be the most definitive way to experience Demanufacture live before the next phase of Fear Factory begins!
