In November 2018, Burton C. Bell announced that the band completed a new album which was set to be released in 2019, with the title being called Monolith and the cover art revealed via his smartphone. He noted that there was "technical difficulties", but expressed a positive outcome. [5] [6] However, Dino Cazares refuted any information regarding it, [7] [8] [9] and that there was no new album. [10] In 2020, he stated that the band would release new music in 2021. [11] [12] Monolith would be changed to Aggression Continuum with a new cover art. [13] [14] [15]
The reasons behind the six-year gap between Genexus and Aggression Continuum were due to creative and personal differences, and legal issues surrounding the band, all of which contributed to Fear Factory going on an extended hiatus and Burton C. Bell leaving the band in 2020 after more than three decades as their vocalist. [16] [17] [18] [19] Despite this, Bell's vocals are present on the album, as they were recorded in 2017. [20]
Aggression Continuum saw Fear Factory's lineup intact (on the record at least) for the first time since Transgression , with Mike Heller on drums and Dino Cazares contributing to both guitar and bass.
The album also features Russian keyboardist Igor Khoroshev who is also in charge of the arrangements. Khoroshev is best known for being a member of English progressive rock band Yes from 1997 to 2000.
