Released in 1998, Obsolete became the band's most successful album, peaking at number 77 on the Billboard 200 and hitting the top 30 in several countries.[3][4][5][6][7][1] The album received a gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[8] Their next album, 2001's Digimortal, peaked at number ten in Australia,[4] but by the next year, Fear Factory disbanded and Roadrunner issued their original 1991 recordings on the demo album Concrete. The band reformed sans Dino and signed to the independent record label Liquid 8 for Archetype, released in 2004. The album peaked at number 30 on the Billboard 200 and number 18 in Australia.[3][4] Transgression was issued by Calvin Records a year later. Dino Cazares rejoined the band in 2009, and they recorded Mechanize, which was released the following year. Mechanize was followed two years later by The Industrialist (2012), and then three years later by Genexus (2015).
