Fear Factory were wayyyy ahead of their time, man. I've seen them live a few times and even got to hang out with them when Raymond and Christian were still in the band! I was even in the front row in 2005 during Gigantour. Great guys. Also great reaction! 🤘
That dude really felt the emotion in that final verse and who can blame him. I see a tear in his eye and that's ok bro because who don't when that final bit drops. A classic track.
If you actually liked this you need to run the “Obsolete” gambit. That includes reading the liner notes in conjunction with the tracks. This is a conceptual album that is only whole as described/prescribed above. Enjoy
I totally agree with this, the whole Obsolete album story was amazing. It tells the story of dystopia where humanity has become Obsolete to machines, which seems very similar to our current societal trajectory with coming of AI and a post scarcity world. The hero of the story is the Edgecrusher, who was the character we saw in this video and that is also the name of one of the song titles. The albums before and after this were both good. Unfortunately FF went through a bunch of turmoil after the 4th album, fist fights, legal issues, love triangles. They put things back together a few times, but it was never the same. FF was probably a huge Influence on numerous bands in the 2000's. They were once of the first to mix the more harsh guttural vocals with the clean vocals that became the norm for bands like KSE and Trivium.
The story would make a truly good movie as a essentially rock opera but it can easily tie into current society with social media as securitron....love frea factory and I hate that they are no more but I'm glad the dry lung vocal martyr will still be kept on the new album there is so much power from their music and so underappreciated
I've been rocking Fear Factory since I first found out about him in the late 90s. I always thought it was cool that their music had a very futuristic ....sort of Blade Runner or Terminator vibe to it.
You might want to check out other songs by them. Shock, Demanufacture, Edgecrusher, and Bodyhammer! Much harder and something worth your time. Keep it rocking!
Your welcome, thanks for doing that. Like other commenters are saying it might not be their heaviest or best song but it's one that means a lot to me. Cheers
An album needs both heavy and softer tracks to work for me. It's about flow, you need silence to appreciate noise, you need darkness to appreciate light. It's one of the thing I love about FF, they aren't afraid to put more ballardy tracks on their albums, Expiration Date is one of my favourite tracks by them.
If Fear Factory hasn’t scared you off, I can totally recommend their tracks “Self Bias Resistor” and “Replica” as fantastic next tracks that you could check out. Plus, in both of those tracks, you’ll also get a chance to hear more of what the nonclean vocals from their lead singer, Burton C. Bell, sound like. (And I think his nonclean vocals are just as powerful as his cleans!)
Self Bias Resistor is the reason I'm still alive. Back in 2007 I went through a really messy break up with my fiance. It left me in ruins, partially homeless for a time. I was going towards either prison or death. Fear Factory was already my favorite band at the time but one day, Self Bias Resistor hit me different. It picked me up. Dusted me off. Made me want to live again and I did. Better than I ever had before.
Man.....i remember buying the Obsolete record back in 1998 when it was released and how I was truly amazed by it......one of THE best modern metal records ever made
More Fear Factory to check out: Linchpin Freedom or Fire Zero Signal Spinal Compression Archetype Edgecrusher Bite the Hand That Bleeds, just for starters.
FF was a game changer for the metal scene. After them, every band incorporated the hybrid clean-gutural vocal works, the drum-guitar surgical tightness, and the sound signature was copied from one new band to another, but the futuristic transhuman topic, the self destruction human behavior and the critics to the actual belief system, is FF. They are no conspiracionists, but nihilists with a clear vision of what's happening and what's coming. They were absolute pioneers, and they still rock!! Burton's vocals are damaged and it's sad, but their sound is solid and lyrics are still deep in point to actual human worst fears, you shoud check 'Enhanced Reality'. Hope they can release the new album as lawsuits end for good.
Fear Factory's Obsolete album is still, and will always be, one of my favorite albums of all time, and this is my favorite song on the album. so glad there are at least some reactors checking it out. highly recommend more from Obsolete if you liked this. also, if you happen to particularly like Burton's voice, there are a couple songs from a side project he had some years back called Ascension of the Watchers. "On The River" is a super mellow ride, with Burton singing. no screaming or anything, just singing. th-cam.com/video/ZeEr8Y8ho80/w-d-xo.html
This album is a concept album. The whole album plays out as a story where each song is an act. The liner notes set and clear the stage for every song. This particular song is kind of the requiem for Edgecrusher (The Cyborg Protagonist dude) and helps him to understand the relics of a bygone era in the lore of the album. I recommend getting a bottle of something nice and listening to this album from front to back reading the liner notes between each song. It is an experience for sure!
Hey I’m from Mississippi! Saw these guys play this outside off the beach in Gulfport at sunset! Awesome experience!! 1995!! Check out there other jams!!
I'd love to hear more Fear Factory reactions. Edgecrusher and Lynchpin were probably their biggest club hits. Smasher/Devourer (which has the "prepare for salvation" line featured in the video) is one of my faves. Also I don't expect a reaction video of it but the whole album is worth a listen right through as it tells a story of mankind's redemption from an apocalyptic, machine-ruled dystopia.
Burton C Bell is definitely one of the very best vocalists in Metal, and thats really saying something because Metal music is LOADED with insanely talented singers. Bell has so much raw power
if you like this style look into Sybreed, Mnemic, Isolated antagonist, Theory Exx, Conflict, Threat Signal, A Dark Halo....so many more I could go on for a bit
This song is their masterpiece IMO. People will say Demanufacture is the better album and they might be right but everything that's amazing about Fear Factory is summed up in this one track. It's brutal and melodic, uplifting somehow, it tells a story, it's epic as hell
One just can get enough of Fear Factotry. Started listening to them in 99 or early 2000s. I really love this band, one of my all time favourite bands. This is one of their most epic songs. But there is a lot. DEMANUFACTUR Album is their masterpiece.
The music video is a bit of a shortened version. Some of the impact is lost in my opinion. The full version takes time build each section of the song. Still good though.
I will do the" Cha Cha " in front of City hall in Philadelphia pa..... naked and by myself if there is ONE person that can tell me what this song is about. 💃💃🕴👣👣👏👏
That song talks about euthanasia. Controverted topic. Classic FF approach to write songs! Also enchnces reality is one of my favs, but Obsolete/Demanufacture are their best.
wow, that took me back to my time in elementary in Ontario. I remember being an American and singing the national anthem all through grade school until we moved to Canada and I had to learn their national anthem. Great connection, I can't un-hear this now.
@@TheAdventuresofTNT that was the first thing I said when I first heard this song. I think Fear Factory should record their version of the Canadian national anthem
These guys got way to many! I have no idea why other Metal guys give you their 2nd rate songs to react to??? 🤔🤔🤔 These songs are way heavier, way crunchier, & way more bad ass, like- - Edgecrusher - Replica - Power shifter - Demanufacture - Archetype - Slave Labor
This was one of my go-to bands back in the day, but honestly this was not one of their songs I ever liked. Their other more hard industrialized fare is damn good though.
Definitely More FEAR FACTORY bro!!
Thank you Very much for checking FF out.
Long Live Fear Factory
Fear Factory were wayyyy ahead of their time, man. I've seen them live a few times and even got to hang out with them when Raymond and Christian were still in the band! I was even in the front row in 2005 during Gigantour. Great guys. Also great reaction! 🤘
The first Mortal Kombat movie was my into to Fear Factory. Zero Signal is the music for the fight between Scorpion and Johnny Cage.
Oh wow, I didn’t know that. That was my favorite fight scene in the movie although they did scorpion wrong
That dude really felt the emotion in that final verse and who can blame him. I see a tear in his eye and that's ok bro because who don't when that final bit drops. A classic track.

I love their older stuff. I think he'd like Lynchpin.
Due to the graphic nature of this program listener discretion is advised.
nekrospike tbh I think Demanufacture is their best album
Your welcome, thanks for doing that. Like other commenters are saying it might not be their heaviest or best song but it's one that means a lot to me. Cheers
I loved this track. People don't make music like this.

It's one of the thing I love about FF, they aren't afraid to put more ballardy tracks on their albums, Expiration Date is one of my favourite tracks by them.
It's about time Fear Factory getting some air time! :) Please check out their "New Breed", "Shock", "Edgecrusher" and/or "Linchpin"

Thrash McNash Holy shit, man. I’m glad you’re okay!
aside from these, as well as the rest of Obsolete, i'd also throw in "Linchpin".
Ashley, I see you in the Jinjer reactions too. You have GREAT taste in music. ;-D
@@R0B3RTP4UL50N Yes Bwoi FF represent
Man.....i remember buying the Obsolete record back in 1998 when it was released and how I was truly amazed by it......one of THE best modern metal records ever made
More Fear Factory to check out:

Bite the Hand That Bleeds, just for starters.
Demanufacture next man, fast and heavy as hell!!!!

Timelessness.
Great song. Exceptional band. I always wondered if the Matrix producers got inspiration from this video.
FF are pioneers of metal dynamics. Still going strong 30yrs later 🤍
Damn this song brings back so many memories of sitting with my buddies in High School.
Nice, we get little Fear Factory reactions on YT. Check out bands like Children of Bodom, Primal fear, Hypocrisy, Gojira.
I really love the way u felt the power of this song and you explained it really well there definitely a unique and powerful band

Love FF! If you enjoyed this song check out the album version on your free time. This video version is slimmed down a bit. Nice reaction.
Obsolete (the album) was a concept album and this was the apex/climax, but not the end of the album.
Hey I’m from Mississippi! Saw these guys play this outside off the beach in Gulfport at sunset! Awesome experience!! 1995!! Check out there other jams!!

Burton C Bell is definitely one of the very best vocalists in Metal, and thats really saying something because Metal music is LOADED with insanely talented singers. Bell has so much raw power
Love fear factory, so many underground indie bands playing this style that just dont get recognized
if you like this style look into Sybreed, Mnemic, Isolated antagonist, Theory Exx, Conflict, Threat Signal, A Dark Halo....so many more I could go on for a bit
@@IsolatedAntagonist and don't forget Synthetic Breed from Australia
This song is their masterpiece IMO. People will say Demanufacture is the better album and they might be right but everything that's amazing about Fear Factory is summed up in this one track. It's brutal and melodic, uplifting somehow, it tells a story, it's epic as hell
My man. I suggested this song of fear factory to many others but you got it
"Prepare for, salvation" is also a lyric from Smasher/Devourer also off the Obsolete album
Fear Factory , Lynchpin
My favorite Fear Factory song. Very cool. Liked and subscribed.
Edgecrusher was one of my childhood heroes.
My favorite song by fear factory is fear champagne.
Thank you for sharing.
Fear Factory, Expiration date or Final exit are also amazing.
Disturbed, the light.
This song prepares you for the future!!!!!
Fear Factory is a prophetic band.
Lead singer says its about people who lost faith. That's how he introduces it live.
I think this is hands down there best track
One just can get enough of Fear Factotry. Started listening to them in 99 or early 2000s.
I really love this band, one of my all time favourite bands.
This is one of their most epic songs.
But there is a lot.
DEMANUFACTUR Album is their masterpiece.
Yes u just made my jizz my pants do more Fear Factory reactions pllls
You must do more Fear Factory
F@cking awesome song, f@cking awesome album.
Saw them Ozzfest 96
heavy metal industrial is exactly what they are. good ear
Decent by Fear Factory
The music video is a bit of a shortened version. Some of the impact is lost in my opinion. The full version takes time build each section of the song. Still good though.
I recommend Shock, the song Demanufacture, Replica, Soulwomb, Linchpin, Cyberwaste, The Hand That Bleeds, Where Evil Dwells and Edgecrusher
Their new album is definitely worth it if you’re into tight guitars and fast drums.
I will do the" Cha Cha " in front of City hall in Philadelphia pa..... naked and by myself if there is ONE person that can tell me what this song is about. 💃💃🕴👣👣👏👏
Don’t mind the title, but one of the most epic FF songs: Pisschrist
Я английский не знаю, но вокал и музыка взрывная и правильная!
I gotta do replica,self bias resistor and fuckin zero signal for sure
Pisschrist very Interesting by FF as well w lyrics
Fear Factory - Final Exit
That song talks about euthanasia.
Controverted topic.
Classic FF approach to write songs! Also enchnces reality is one of my favs, but Obsolete/Demanufacture are their best.
Fear factory - Soul hacker
Burton goddamn Bell!
Sounds like a rendition of "Oh Canada," to me
wow, that took me back to my time in elementary in Ontario. I remember being an American and singing the national anthem all through grade school until we moved to Canada and I had to learn their national anthem. Great connection, I can't un-hear this now.
@@TheAdventuresofTNT that was the first thing I said when I first heard this song. I think Fear Factory should record their version of the Canadian national anthem
I'm Canadian and I've listened to fear factory for over 20 years, never noticed this before 😂
@@bdundat love Canada btw
Fear Factory - Replica pls
Ok i think your ready for nevermore the song sentient 6. It's about a robot that wants to be human. Also love the vids
Love Fear Factory have them next to Metallica for me.
Wolfheart - Breakwater
Night Crowned - Reborn
Slave labor, back tf up, etc,etc
This is an abbreviated version, the album version is longer.
Recode is another song I think you would be interested in.
Divine Chaos - Fields of the fallen
Deficiency - Newborns Awakening
Only problem is the video is shorter than the album version
Fear factory - Cyberwaste
Samael my savior
If you like this do reaction to Final Exit.
Do Ministry "Jesus built my hotrod".
These guys got way to many!
I have no idea why other Metal guys give you their 2nd rate songs to react to??? 🤔🤔🤔
These songs are way heavier, way crunchier, & way more bad ass, like-
- Edgecrusher
- Replica
- Power shifter
- Demanufacture
- Archetype
- Slave Labor
People have different tastes is all.
No one with taste could call this a second rate ff song...
this version of the song is heavily edited
FF
This was one of my go-to bands back in the day, but honestly this was not one of their songs I ever liked. Their other more hard industrialized fare is damn good though.
Studio version is better. That whole Obsolete album is killer.
I hate this short form edit of this song. Give me the original
