he's seriously so underrated as a guitarist. he might not be as technically gifted as dino but damn if he can't lay down machine gun chugs with the best of them.
@@Arterius_omm I would say he maybe can play even better as Dino, especially live! But Dino has some super creative output of crazy rythm-structures, especially together with Ray, but surely Christian also took a part on itheir songwriting. They lost so much of their flow as they broke. Indeed Archetype was much more simple in it's guitar structures but had instead very groovy and powerful riffs and together with Rays Drums the whole album was epic in it's own way. Also it had a really nice balance of effects and synth-sounds and had a great tune and mastering. To me the albums after, as Christian and Ray was out, it got back more of it's crazy rythm-technique but lost much groove and love at all. I found the albums after Archetype unpassionate and I totally disagree with Dino to call Archetype like this. To me it's close to Demanufacture in it's own way but clearly beyond Obsolete and of course Digimortal and far beyond everything they created after Archetype without Chris and Ray. I think theyll never reach their full epicness and abillity to create a masterpiece again without them both. And yes, Christian did awesome backing vocals, best of all FF-lineups, even Tony also does a very good job.
Raymond is such a sick drummer. He really pioneered the whole djent scene with the stecatto kicks locked in with the guitars. Definitely one of the first bands doing that style. If Fear Factory kept their original lineup they'd be up there with Meshuggah today.
Raymond deserves so much credit for there sound dude was ahead of his time bands definitely lose there soul when they lose there drummer same happened with slipknot
@@theproblemwithkidsthesedays Xtians playing is undeniably great. His tone in FF was always the problem. It's not bad, it's just too natural/analogue sounding.
I totally agree, Im seeing Fear Facory for the 2nd time in about 2 weeks and there playing the entire Demanufacture album in it's entirety which is good but i wish they would play songs live (these days) from the Archetype album because there is alot of good songs on that album. That album is alot better than the last 3 albums they have put out IMO!
Wait a second I thought the reason they took the album off the market was cuz the drummer couldn’t play the song cuz of the use of a drum machine I’m very pissed they took the archetype album off I can’t even listen to it on Apple Music I’d have to by the cd and then down load it to my iPad
No one took anything off the market. The labels who owned this record in USA doesn't exist anymore. In Europe Archetype is available on all the streaming platforms.
I hate live concerts where you can hardley hear the clean vocals. The sound guy needs to do his job and turn that gain dial up right before he sings clean
