'''''Soul of a New Machine''''' is the debut studio album by American [[industrial metal]] band [[Fear Factory]], released on August 25, 1992, by [[Roadrunner Records]]. Although this record was Fear Factory's first studio album to be released, it was actually their second album to be recorded, after ''[[Concrete (Fear Factory album)|Concrete]]'', which was recorded in 1991 but not released until 11 years later. German magazine ''[[Rock Hard (magazine)|Rock Hard]]'' described it as [[death metal]] with many other elements such as [[industrial metal]].

''Soul of a New Machine'' was remastered and re-released on October 5, 2004, in a [[digipak]], packaged together with the remastered ''[[Fear Is the Mindkiller]]'' EP.
