I am 43, loved this song since the original Mortal Kombat soundtrack. On Saturday (02/25/23) my 21 and 12 year old daughters are seeing them together in San Francisco; will definitely be a good day.
Hearing this in the OG Mortal Kombat movie and looking it up is what got me into Metal, still one of my fav songs of all time. Absolutely timeless, still a perfect banger
This is almost thirty years old and it’s still top shelf metal. This is timeless music right here my dudes. I was already on white zombie and integrity, cradle of filth, etc. whene this came out. So many memories with this song. Over the years
Same! This was my introduction to metal right here. 🤘🏾 Thanks, old 1997 Mortal Kombat movie!😂 I discovered the full song and lyrics when my older brother accidentally changed the radio station in my mom's car to some random Metal station... He was looking for this Rap/R&B station we'd always listen to and when I heard this song actually play out, I realized: Well hell, I like this shit a lot better than the music we're "supposed to listen to." I was only 5.. This song changed my life. Made me realize that I don't have to fit a stereotype. I was one of the few (seemingly, the only) black kid listening to metal amongst my friends. Later that year... Spawn (the movie) introduced me to Marilyn Manson 😂 Memories!
Pisschrist also uses music from T2. The intro of the song is from the scene where Arnie walks out of the elevator in front of Sarah Connor at the mental institute.
Couldn't find the lyrics in the comments.. So here they are: So withdrawn and feeling numb Watching life come all undone Growing fear, a human grace A drowning mind in a dark embrace My life A disarray And I Fade away I am down on my knees Praying beyond belief The silence deafens my ears And welds the shackles Onto my fears Lost All faith Lost All trust Lost All faith Lost All trust So withdrawn and feeling numb Watching life come all undone My life A disarray And I Fade away I am down on my knees Praying beyond belief The silence deafens my ears And welds the shackles Onto my fears I have lost all faith I have lost all trust A sordid mesh turning to dust A sordid mesh turning to dust I am lost I am so numb I am so numb I am so numb I am so numb I am so numb I am so numb
Man does this bring me back. when the headbangers ball died so did a ton of metal with it. Fear Factory got me through those dark times. Awesome stuff. Anyone 35+ in here, METAL RULES!!!!!
33 here but when you have older cousins blasting this in the house and car all the time then yea, you have to come back to fully appreciate what you were shown back in those days.
i like to give myslf a punch with this hard piece of metal whenever im down, it hurts but works, btw is metal only for the most intelligent and creative ppl?
Was my favorite movie as a kid, my first ever CD was the mortal kombat soundtrack and shortly after was my 2nd with demanufacture and a metal head was born out from MK 🤘🐉🤘
I've often thought Obsolete era Burton was the best metal vocalist ever. His clean vocals at that time were absolutely unique and powerful. Never heard anything else like it.
Burton Bell was the first dude to do the screaming/singing thing and do it right, bands like Killswitch Engage owe a debt of gratitiude to Burton and Fear Factory.
FUCK YES! Man this song brings back so many good memories...this whole album actually. Used to rock this at an unbearably loud volume on the way to a show or just out cruising. Sounded great with those drums...those DRUMS. I've listened to a lot of thrash and speed metal and whatnot, and Fear Factory is definitely one of those bands that can get my adrenaline coursing through my veins. And just like you said...some 20+ years later and it STILL has my stereo cranked and people staring as I beat my dashboard...it never ceases to amaze how FF and Pantera still send me through the roof...
I keep saying this over and over again.... Demanufacture is one of the best metal albums of all times. Absolute perfection from start to finish. Long live Fear Factory!!!
It’s the acceptance. The entirety of the thrashing was about attempting to be heard. Coming to terms with it, hence the 4:42 mark, is the part that gets me. It is overwhelmingly emotional for all the correct reasons. Always reach out if you are not feeling well. Please.
@@mikeboydus It wasn't FLA specifically, it was Rhys Fulber who is a long time member of FLA. Rhys has done and continues to do tons of work, both solo and with other projects. He even recently composed songs featured in Cyberpunk 2077, and did a number of the remixes on Recoded
@@eugenetkachevpro tools wasn’t even a huge thing in 1995. He drummed even faster live Not like digital editing is today I think you mean he used a ton of triggers and that’s fair, but you still have to play the set
OH SHIT, that's where I heard it! God damn... I was playing Carmageddon 1 again for the first time in like 20 years, and the instrumental version of this song is on the soundtrack... and I spent the whole damn time thinking, "Where else have I heard this?"
Such a unique melody angle. It's not your typical sad minor melody, it isn't euphoric major either. It's crazy simple, and yet so damn effective. Memorable as hell.
it's from the 1995 movie Mortal Kombat ^^ . Johny Cage is fighting Scorpion in forest , then he been transported through a portal generated by Scorpion in some sort of Catacomb , and then , Scorpion appears and launch a lough "Welcome !" . when they start to fight , a version of this music start =) .
This is the track that got me into FF. I had heard it in MK. Forgot about it, then was driving home from Ft Hood. Was listening to a metal station at 2 am, then this song played. Never knew it was an actual song. With lyrics. And finally the FF name. Hooked.🤘😎🤘
I was introduced by their cover of Cars. Hadn't really delved into anything heavier than Metallica or Megadeth at the time. Got Obsolete extended version and haven't looked back. I think my favorite track from FF has got to be Designing the Enemy off Mechanize. That break down in the middle with that demonic "Pure, Hate, Kill" gives me chills haha
This the the first song I ever heard from them and the band that got me into metal. Plus the fact that it was playing during a fight scene with my favorite Mortal Kombat character (Scorpion) makes it that much more epic for me
Attention all competitors: This is your one minute warning. I repeat, one minute until race commencement. Members of the public: You now have one minute to reach minimum safe distance!
Thanks to Carmageddon I discovered Fear Factory when I was a kid and it was one of the defining moments for my future music taste. Never stopped listening to them since then.
When I listen to this it takes me back to my teenage years and reminds me of my old mate Chris Burton, he was tragically killed in a car accident over a decade ago but we used to skate, smoke and rock out to this stuff. RIP Brother
3:12 I always picture a post apocaplytic type flying Car racing like hell through a wasted and hot Desert filled with relics of ancient times... My favorite Fear Factory song !
I imagine it like so... (In the context of a terminator) 3:02 - System powers down 3:11 - System goes into reboot/repair phase 3:33 - System restarts with regenerated power
Demanufacture was one hell of an album, one of the first I ever bought. Played it through the skips when my CD got damaged and didn't give a shit, each song was special and one hell of an experience. All FF music reflects this effort, old and new, I thank them. So awesome.
My favorite part about this song is how the beginning sounds like the literal gates of HELL, and the riffs are just devastatingly heavy throughout; then right at the end it gets all ethereal and uplifting. Just fantastic.
So withdrawn and feeling numb Watching life come all undone Growing fear, a human grace A drowning mind in a dark embrace My life A disarray And I Fade away I am down on my knees Praying beyond belief The silence deafens my ears And welds the shackles Onto my fears Lost All faith Lost All trust Lost All faith Lost All trust So withdrawn and feeling numb Watching life come all undone My life A disarray And I Fade away I am down on my knees Praying beyond belief The silence deafens my ears And welds the shackles Onto my fears I have lost all faith I have lost all trust A sordid mesh turning to dust A sordid mesh turning to dust I am lost I am so numb I am so numb I am so numb I am so numb I am so numb I am so numb
I remember seeing this song played live on Headbangers Ball back in '95 or '96, and I was like "Who in the world are these guys!"....FearFactory is a one-of-a-kind band.
RECUERDO como si fuese ayer cuando compre un disco virgen , queme en casa de un amigo casi todas sus canciones, las puse a todo volumen . como justo ahora, en el mismo Radio a las 10:28 pm
Back in the day (late 90 early 20) when K-ROCK (92.3) was still playing bad a$$ music I had to stay up get my cassette ready in my stereo to record this song, and it was my first that I got on time and love it to this day I'm almost 40 and love it to this day they ROCK!
The first song I ever heard by these guys. I was 8 years old, mortal Kombat the movie had been released in theaters and this song is what introduced me to fear factory.
1st time I heard about this song and band was in MK movie ost! 2022 and still listening to this and waiting for their latest remixed album dropping out soon with their new vocalist!
Attention all competitors, this is your one minute warning! I repeat, one minute to race commencement! Members of the public, you now have one minute to reach safe distance!
I bought 'soul of a new machine' when it came out. Heaviest thing I've ever heard. This next album blazed a trail that's never been equaled. Still cutting edge today. Superb.
This was the song that opened me to FF. I was a young teen. Mortal Kombat was the shit then. A crowd inside of a corner of a 7-11. Where the arcade game was and at home or a friends on the SNES. Then the movie came out. Saw it in the theater. The scorpion and cage scene came on and this song played. I thought that was the best part of the film. After the movie was over. I went to what was known as Sam Goodie. Bought the soundtrack. Found the song. Played on repeat for god knows how long.... memories.
