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 singer.[9][10][11][12] Despite this, Bell's vocals are present on the album, as they were recorded in 2017.[1][13][14]

Aggression Continuum also saw Fear Factory's lineup intact for the first time since Transgression (2005), with Mike Heller on drums and founding member Dino Cazares contributing to both guitar and bass.

The album received positive reviews. It was elected by Loudwire as the 33rd best rock/metal album of 2021.[15] The single "Disruptor" was elected by the same publication as the 12th best metal song of the same year.[16]

Aggression Continuum — десятый студийный альбом американской метал-группы Fear Factory, вышедший 18 июня 2021 года. Это последний альбом группы за 6 лет, что является наибольшим перерывом между двумя альбомами за всю карьеру группы. Причинами шестилетнего интервала являются творческие и личные разногласия и юридические вопросы, связанные с группой; все это привело к временному распаду группы и уходу вокалиста Бертона Белла в 2020 году после 28 лет в качестве вокалиста[8][9][10][11]. Несмотря на это, вокал Белла присутствует на альбоме, так как вокальные партии были записаны в 2017 году[7][12][13].
