Fear Is the Mindkiller is a remix EP containing remixes of songs from the first album Soul of a New Machine by Fear Factory. It was released on April 14, 1993, by Roadrunner Records.

Content

Remixes 1–5 were created by Rhys Fulber and Bill Leeb of Front Line Assembly. The EP was remastered and re-released on October 5, 2004, in a digipak, packaged together with the remastered Soul of a New Machine without "Self Immolation". The title of the record is a quote from "Litany against fear", a fictional incantation from Dune, the science fiction novel written by Frank Herbert.

When playing live in the 1990s, the band would occasionally play a variation of the Deep Dub Trauma remix of "Scumgrief", rather than the original. The song is also on the soundtrack of the film Hideaway.
