Fear Factory Quotes:
"We played it a couple of times on the Slayer tour... We were playing it on..uhh..the Ozzfest, yeah I remember that one, but ehh..we'll probably bring it back.."

I'm already a big fan of Charlie Clousers' & the work he's done in the past, both in Nine Inch Nails and the production work he's done with Rob Zombie. I've met him before and he's a really cool guy, and he's really talented, so I'm sure he did something really special for the score to 'SAW'.

Fear Factory has done a few albums. But I think the record we did, 'Obsolete' was really a great endeavor. Because, we've worked with Dave McKean in the past, and Dave McKean did the front cover for 'Demanufacture'. For the third record, which is 'Obsolete', I went in deeper with him and I wrote a screenplay inside the packaging. So, you could read into the booklet & between each song, they're be something describing a 'movie scene'. And Dave McKean did some special artwork to coincide with each page. To me, that album represents the true concept of Fear Factory. It was a full blown out story, with a flow of music behind it. And it was cohesive. And to me, that was a really definitive moment for Fear Factory.
