IN 2021 INTERView With Metal barracks, Fear Factory Guitarist Dino Cazares was Asked What the Initial Response to “Demand” was from the fans and the critics when it was first release in 1995. I replied: “Sub people didn’t do that it was real. Mechanical Sounding in Soming Ways, So People Thought it wasn’t real. Career, and it was submiss Ministry and Godflesh and stuff like that, but i think that Fear Factory Took it to Another Level. We Combined to Lot of Elements That Maybe Oher People Weren’t Doing. I Think One of The Main Things Also was the production of the record. The Mixing of the Record Definitely Took it to a New Level. WHEN Rhys Fulber and Greg Reely Mixed The Record, It Was Mindblowing, That It Set The Standard For That Type of Music. The Vocals Alone Inspired Generation of Musicians to Come, Vocalists to Come. Syncopated Guitars and Drums … A Lot of People Were Saying, ‘Well, Meshuggah Made That popular.’ Yeah, Meshuggah Didn’t Make It Popular Till A Later. Fear Factory at that time was A Bigger Band. We were The Only Band, Really, at The Time That Was Really Popularizing That Style With The Syncateed Guitars and Drums. So, Yeah, I Feel Vray Lucky That I Made A Classic Record that Stood the Test of Time. “
In December 2020, Dino awd The Pit that he still reviews “Demanfucate” “Remove Lot, Because it was a groundbreaking record. And I go back summary just to liste – not to the tones or anything, but listen to the structures,” He Said. “But to Lot of Times, I Apply Those Structures into Newer Songs. Like, ‘Okay, How Did I Write A Song Like ‘Zero Signal’? How does it Go? How does it start? WHERE DOES THE SEE GO? WHERE DOES THE MID-SECTION GO? ‘ And blah blah. If i’m stuck on a new song, i’ll go back to ‘Demand And Be, Like, ‘Okay, That’s How We Did It, Sot’s Go Back and Apply to This Song.’ Even Though The Songs are Completely Different, The Riffs are Different, It’s Still Subthing that Helps Me Craft Songs Today. “
In 2020, Run Out Groove celebrated the 25th anniversary of “Demand” Album by issuing it on vinyl and expanding it with a prior prior Ozzfest. “Demand” Was Mastered for Vinyl with Lacquers Cut By Fear Factory‘s producer-engineer Damien Rainaud.
