Factrix was a pioneering Industrial music group from San Francisco, formed in 1978 by members Bond Bergland, Cole Palme, and Joseph T. Jacobs.

The live LP 'California Babylon' (1982) was a collaboration with Monte Cazazza that remains a rough and violent selection of guitar-noise deconstructions and primitive machine-noise rumblings. Conversely, the 'Empire Of Passion/Splice Of Life' 7" single was a marvelously sinister bit of apocalyptic sound-poetry and industrial soundscaping..."
