Limited edition of 3000 individually numbered copies on crystal clear & black marble coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. Fear Factory's breakthrough album Obsolete is a sequel to 1995's Demanufacture and a memorable concept album. The metal climate of the late 1990s was changing and their robotic music style perfectly fits in these developments.

This album is considered essential by many fans of the band and of the genre, and even years later it still retains it's originality and intensity. A must for any fan of Industrial music or of metal in general. Fear Factory is an influential band in the industrial metal music. After nearly 30 years they're still performing and recording new records.
