I’m a simple person I see fear factory I click

My brother. I’m a total converted African American. I love this genre of music. If you just sit and listen how its put together and that aggression and precision of instrument skills will grab you. I’m not even a hip hop fan anymore. It’s metal, blues,jazz and classical music that imo is the most thought provoking. 🤘

This album.. 👌🔥🔥🔥

I've been into FF since 1997 and saw them live in London a few times and even met them. My favourite FF track of all time. Good to see people keeping this one alive even today!

Fear Factory are pioneers in the metal world. Hope you dig deeper throughout their music.

This was unexpected! Fear Factory is one of my favorite bands, easily in my top 5. Most of their albums are concept albums about some type of machine takeover or at least some type of man vs. machine/man vs. technology type of story. So their lyrics may sound cheesy on their own, but they're telling a story along with the rest of the album. Anyway, I love their machine gun drumming/guitar combos. You should check out "Shock" or "Edgecrusher" from my favorite album, "Obsolete" some time!

Fear Factory and Meshuggah were the two bands that really took the whole concept of syncopating every pick stroke with every kick-drum hit. Both bands did it in different ways though. FF made it very "machine-gun" sounding.

Yes this band was so ahead of its time love fear factory

Going HEAVY. Love it.

GREAT band!!!! A lot of metal bands ripped off their sound, matching kick drums to guitar strokes AND the clean vocals mixed in there. VERY underrated band. Many great songs like “Pisschrist”and “Zero Signal” and “Cyberwaste” too!! Personal responsibility IS the freedom….. and a GREAT message as well.

Dino is a sick guitarist! I'm so glad I've gotten to see them live!

Their album Obsolete is one of my fav concept albums of all time. Its bssically the Terminator in music form.

Amazing band. You should dive further into their catalogue, maybe check out the songs Shock, EdgeCrusher, Resurrection, Descend or Timelessness from their Obsolete album

This entire album kicks ass.

Yeah nice. I used to blast Fear Factory while playing Unreal Tournament and Quake back in the day. Perfect FPS music.

The entire remix album of this album is SWEET.

Fear Factory got me into heavier metal. Followed by Meshuggah. This is the good stuff!

It's crazy how slept on Fear Factory are when they're so damn LOUD XD \\m//

Fear factory was used in a lot of 90s-2000s video games, most known for carmageddon.

That's his feet. Raymond Herrera is by far one of the most influential metal drummers ever. At one point the man held a world record for BPMs beats per minute for double bass drumming. I always looked up to him and tried the best I could to play his songs. Raymond Herrera!!

FF are truly pioneers. In both style and sound. Way ahead of their time and soooooo many bands try to emulate them.

Yes! You should checkout Leo Moracchioli with Leap Frog Studios. He’s an insanely talented multi-instrumentalists that does metal covers. From “What a Wonderful World” to “WAP” and everything in between. One that has a whole vibe you should watch when you need a little pep is: Dance Monkey (metal cover by Leo Moracchioli feat. Rabea & Hannah)

They were huge in gaming, pioneers in the music gaming crossover, always loved their energy. Fear Factory were great !!

Their song Zero Signal was on the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie soundtrack. The scene where Liu Kang faces Sub Zero it's the background music. "Dunn Dunn Dundun (swish swoosh)" then the fast guitar and drums come in and they fight.

Raymond's always been a beast of a drummer... he's a chill dude.

Polo... you gotta do "obsolete"by then. Holy moly. Dino was a guitar player..sheesh

My top three fav metal bands of all time. Gave me the sound to express exactly how I felt growing into my twenties in the nineties. Heaviest riffs to ever grace the planet yet with divine sounding melody and vocals to take me to another universe.

I have experienced it! I have been there in the 90s. Omg, Fear Factory was so good. So precise!

My favorite band! So psyched to see you check them out!!!

Raymond Herrera, the Drum God, and OG drummer for this this band also made music for video games outside of what he did for Fear Factory.

I’m glad that you pointed out you may not have understood the lyrics had you heard this in your teens . It reminds us ,hooefully, to be parents and pay attention to the happenings for our kids . All In a good way of course ! A time and a place for certain things in life ……. Peace

Lyrics seem sort of political (and yes, then it's cheesy) but aren't. The whole album is a story about a utopian society where machines have taken over, every song a chapter, with one man is rising up against it. Singer was inspired by the Terminator movie. It has also a hint of Orwell's 1984.

Fear Factory is my favorite band! This is one of my top 5 favorites of their's! I always said..Fear Factory are the Super Sayans of meral!..🤘🤘💯❤️‍🔥💥

Seen them live quite a few times they always delivered great shows

"Your know what this reminds me of"? Speeding Tickets? I keep thinking speeding ticket.

FF were visionaries, 32 years ago they release this, a criminally underated band. One of my top 5 albums of all time.

I was 14 years old when I heard this song first. Love it till today.

Funny you mention video games, lol. The drummer who helped start FF in 1989 Raymond Herrera (imo one of the best technical metal drummers), got their music in a ton of video games. I remember a music game back before Guitar Hero, and they had several FF songs you played through. One thing I always really liked about FF, is how prominent the drums are, but it makes sense because Raymond really drove their whole sound. His double bass style is iconic. He's also one of the nicest people ever.

Industrial metal pioneers. My favorite album will always be their first (Soul of a New Machine), then Demanufacture and Obsolete.

best band ever. greetings from Europe

Favorite band of all time! This was 1995!!!

One of my favs, a huge guitar influence on me. Snd live they really whop ass

This song made me fall in love with double bass! Great video! Keep making them and I’ll keep watching.

Raymond is a beast on the drums for sure!!!

Remember when this came out - game changer face melting - every 90's dude blasted this on their car cassette decks! FYI...LOL! 'Burn Away, Conformity' I thought it was 'by the way you're gonna die!' - Hahhhahahaha!

This was a concept album of man versus machine, loosely based on the novel 1984. My favourite FF track still to this day, and one of the best live bands I have seen.

One of my favorite songs !Best band

Awesome reaction subscribed and thumbs up

Funny you should mention videogames. This band was featured quite heavily in games back in the day actually (one being Carmageddon), as well as the Mortal Kombat movie. Good times...

Polo! What a surprise!

Maybe you are ready now for some 'Strapping Young Lad' - try 'Love?' , it's awesome!!!!

I saw them with kittie opening at Snocore. Had a concussion after getting in a car wreck on the way there and falling asleep at some point during the show.

First time I heard Fear Factory was on the old Mortal Kombat movie soundtrack - Zero Sygnal is on the same album as this.

Check out their albums Obsolete and Machanized! LOVE THIS BAND!!!

This band might sound familiar if you've watched the first Mortal Kombat movie. Their song featured in that soundtrack was "Zero Signal", worth checking out too! It TOTALLY tied the fight scene between Scorpion and Johnny Cage together!

I love FF. I got to play a show with Dino when he played for Devine Heresy! 🤘

Love Fear Factory. I remember ordering Obsolete from a BMI catalog when I was a young teen. It drew me right in to metal.

When I was 16 I saw them twice, as well as about 40 other shows lol.

Fear factory has a song in the Original Mortal Kombat movie soundtrack

I was just thinking the other day you need to do Fear Factory

If you've ever seen the original Mortal Kombat movie. This bands music was used during the Scorpion vs Johnny Cage fight. Fan ever since. Btw.. the song used was Zero Signal.

You choose wisely

The video game reference actually there was a game called demolition racer I think it was ps1 maybe ps2 and they had a song in there, but yes if it wasn't for Tony hawk and need for speed I wouldn't have found some of the groups and singers that I listen to

POLO, from comments you've made, I believe we're around the same age......So, some of these journeys that you're going through with music 🎶🤘🎸🥁🔥; many of us are right here with you 👍. I thought 💭 I was "up to date" with music and the many variations; what kind 🎶, when (70's, 80's, 2000's, etc....). POLO, you're reacting to a lot of music 🎶 I've never heard of before, even from other YT Channels. Thanks man, I appreciate it. 🙂

5:25 fun fact. Half of the Band are Mexican. ✊🏽💯🇲🇽

Saw them open for Rob Zombie back in the day. Bunch of fucking kids were there to see Rob but a bunch of us were there to see Fear Factory. When the mosh pit broke out we just started chucking kids in there and elbowing them on the way in. No moshpits during the Zombie show but his guitar player poured fake blood out of his guitar all over the 1st couple rows. All in all a good show.

Fear Factory did video game music for the game "Messiah".

If you played Tony Hawk 1 there is probably a Primus song you already know "Jerry was a race car driver"

Yep

I used to own the electronica remix of Demanufacture, called Remanufacture

Ha! I last heard this doing acid with my friend's younger brother and his mates. The acid made it really sink in! Try some Pantera - Suicide Note Great Southern Trendkill. . . .

Positive and uplifting songs by Fear Factory would include archetype from archetype. Also recharger from the industrialist.

Great song!

And so it begins.

wow high school memories

Trivium The Sin and the Sentence will blow your fing mind!

I'm glad you made the comment about being 16 and not getting it and thinking its just noise. I'm a white dude who was one of those metalheads and 16 I thought the exact same thing about rap. It was just noise and didn't make sense. Now older me can sit down and listen to it and appreciate it. Younger me, nope wasn't happening. Great comment!

The end of this track always reminds of mortal Kombat

Fear Factory was a band in the 90's that saved heavy metal in an era dominated by alternative rock and hip hop... Pantera were the kings of the genre in the 90's decade, Megadeth was the inferno 🔥🔥 and Slayer were the persistence... (Metallica were off on a weird country/ alternative stint...) Most of the 80's heavy metal bands were struggling to find an audience... new bands were not breaking commercially. But we got a shot in the arm in 1995 when Fear Factory released their 2nd album 'Demanufacture'... Other bands like Machine Head started to break w/ the album 'Burn my eyes'... KoRn also took off w/ their first album... Deftones started to take off w/ the 'Adrenalin' album... The metal genre started to show a lot of promise. Fear Factory started at a time when Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo were the gaming standard... Their music was actually picked for the video game soundtracks years later as the graphics got more elaborate and advanced... Fear Factory's whole concept was futuristic, usually around the battle between humanity & technology... man or machine... The band was formed in 1989 in California by Dino Cazares (guitar) and Raymond Herrera (drums) after recruiting Burton C. Bell (vocals)... Fear Factory debuted in 1992 w/ the album 'Soul of a new machine'. Christian Olde Wolbers (bass) joined in 1995 for the 2nd album 'Demanufacture'... it sold admirably without any MTV or radio airplay... tracks like 'Replica'... 'Self-bias resistor'... 'Demanufacture'... became fan faves. The band also used keyboards, beats and programming on their records. Fear Factory's 3rd album 'Obsolete' depicted a future where humanity is essentially mechanized and organic life is fighting for survival... it went gold (half million copies) in the US and had an MTV hit w/ a cover of Gary Numan's 80's hit 'Cars' (feat. Gary Numan). 4th album 'Digimortal' in 2001 was about the technology that could immortalize people by converting their memories into A.I. ...but Burton C. Bell abruptly quit the band in 2002 after differences w/ Dino Cazares. Fear Factory returned in 2004 w/ Christian Olde Wolbers taking over guitar and Raymond Herrera on drums and Burton C. Bell returning w/ the album 'Archetype'... followed by 'Transgression' in 2005. But more differences led to Fear Factory disbanding by 2007. In 2010, Burton C. Bell and Dino Cazares reconciled and relaunched Fear Factory w/ the album 'Mechanize'... followed by 'The Industrialist' (2012) and 'Genexus' (2015)... Bell and Cazares became embroiled in court cases w/ Wolbers and Herrera over the 'Fear Factory' name... A new album 'Aggression continuum' was recorded (released in 2021), but Burton C. Bell split w/ Dino once again, calling the situation a "toxic drama". In 2022, Dino Cazares announced that Fear Factory would be touring in 2023 w/ a new lead singer. Some other Fear Factory songs - 'Powershifter'... 'Martyr'... 'Archetype'... 'Resurrection'... 'Acres of skin'... 'Linchpin'... 🤘🤘🔥🔥

Dude there are also guys your shade of grey out there makin' dis music. Check out Stuck Mojo's "Not promised tomorrow".

I couldn't process funk when I was younger. Not that's the go to in the juke box at the bar. Works everytime to get the girls frisky. I love Funk Now! haha

Dino Cazares will always remain my most beloved music creators in the world. What a genius overlooked though the years.

Funny you should mention Jack Black, have you ever heard any Tenacious D. That's his metal band they have a great sense of humor and they're actually pretty dope check out Master Exploder

"You are a dissident, burn away conformity."

Fun fact: the only song of fear factory to hit mainstream radio was their cover of the song Cars. Hated that song with a passion

Every harder band I hear today, I hear some DNA from Fear Factory.

Deftones-passenger ft.Maynard. About guarantee a high spot on the playlist.

Meshuggah is the next step up from Fear Factory. Meshuggah, Tool, Pantera, thank you for everything POLO!!!!

One of the best work out songs ever made.

I really appreciate you taking one like this on, being open and honest about your current vs. likely former interaction with it, and being able to find some enjoyment in it. Yeah, gosh, more than 20 years on, it feels a little aged, a little trite. But, back when, for those of us in or adjacent to counterculture or the metal / industrial / goth scenes heard a lot of FF, since it fused them all in a way no one else had quite done before. A little cheesy? Yes, even then, but not entirely without meaning, and definitely with a lot of feeling in those driving beats and riffs. It's only the sort of thing I'd listen to these days when a whim strikes, it's not on my playlists for a long time now, but good to hear someone else appreciating it anew.

Obsolete is my favorite album from then!

Industrial Metal!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this probably has gaming energy because fear factory songs, especially off of this album, were in a lot of games late 90s to early 2000s, its definitely how i knew of them

So maybe had been said, but please check out the entire "band's own REMIX of this album, titled "Remanufacture". It is the coolest and catchiest yet most powerful mix of hip-hop beats, Fear Factory metal, and electronica / techno ever. Ok technically the only one but honestly one of my all-time favorite albums. If you have ever taken a medicinal Lights Shut Down trip to an album and enjoyed yourself, include the remix of Demanufacture to that library of options, as well as Hello Nasty by the Beastie Boys.

FF is deep!

You have to do Edgecrusher now!

Welcome to the fold, brother. Try some Nailbomb.

If you watched the old mortal kombat film they had a song on there when Jonny Cage was fighting Scorpion, and to tell the facts alot of Latinos listin to metal

WOW! Hats off to the subscribers who recommended FF "Resurrection" is amazing, and you'd dig "Regenerate." That one's good to put on before a workout, no lie.
