After the tour, the whole FBF-Crew entered the studios to record a Demo/EP consisting of 3 songs.
In June 2012 «FLAWLESS VICTORY» got released on ‘Swimming with Sharks Records’, ‘Heavy Metal, Compilation III’. 5.000 copies were handed out at shows throughout the US (headlined by ‘Fear Factory’) and partly in Europe with the help of our Friends in ‘The Browning’.

In Autumn 2020 till Summer 2021 Fueled by Fear recorded the second full length album, DEATH FOR YOU ALL produced and recorded in Como / Italy by Alex Azzali (Alpha-Omega).
Alex also signed the band for a record deal with Alpha Omega Records.
The album is lyrically and musically a mirror of our time. And relentlessly reflects the state of humanity.
A third videoclip was shot in an abandoned mine for the first single, death for you all in Summer 2021.
The fourth video serving the empire was banned from YouTube because of the pictures and the lyrics that the song represents. Showing the grievance of mankind.
The Band played Metal Mania Bucharest Romania in May 23, headlining Mainstage B alongside Pantera and Life of Agony. The Band performed the Full Force Festival warm up gig in Germany.
