Top 10 Best Fear Factory Songs
-
Shock
One thing any good album needs to do is hook you right away with the very first song you hear. "Shock" absolutely nails this. Powerful, straightforward, and one of the go-to songs for leading a battle, "Shock" not only stands as one of the tracks that defined Fear Factory during their unstoppable force in the late '90s, but it also stands the test of time well enough that I'd argue it's one of the best songs in the industrial metal genre.
No doubt... first song I ever heard from them, been hooked ever since.
-
Replica
Replica was the first song I heard from the band, and it reminds me of the good old nu/alternative metal times. I think this is the quintessential Fear Factory song. They've got so many great tracks that should be at the top (like Archetype, Powershifter, Demanufacture, Self Bias Resistor, Linchpin, or Edgecrusher). No one has guitars as powerful as they do, but Replica is a must-hear from this band.
Shock is good, don't get me wrong, but it isn't better than Replica or Demanufacture.
Awesome drums at the beginning and the ultimate Roadrunner anthem. Truly kickass.
-
Demanufacture
In my opinion, the definitive Fear Factory song. A very raw, thick sound mixed with some electronic parts.
Fear Factory is definitely the second heaviest band ever, next to Pantera. This rules.
Dude, if you like metal, this is the band. Better than Metallica, definitely.

Self Bias Resistor
This song is incredible. All of Demanufacture is, but Dino palm-mutes like no other. On this one, he opens up the power chords and rains hellfire upon the listener mid-track with the biggest industrial breakdowns I've ever heard. This track and album are Fear Factory's gold standard.
Pure genius. The growl and melody are complimented perfectly. One of the best bands of all time.
That intro gets me every time. And the ending melody is mesmerizing.
-
Edgecrusher
The main riff is honestly one of my all-time favorite riffs to mosh to.
Killer guitar solo, that is all.
-
Linchpin
"All my life I've felt discarded / Never feeling a part of it."
Definitely my favorite Fear Factory lyric. Also, this song just plain slaps. It rocks!
How the hell did it get 11th? Should be number 1! Killer song.
-
Zero Signal
This is by far the best song from Fear Factory. When you hear the intro, you know something epic is about to come. Then suddenly, it's an explosion of hard riffs and double bass, peaking with an unmatched melodic hook. Simply a masterpiece.
This is their most dynamic song and an epic journey from start to finish.
Zero Signal is one of my favorite songs. Period.
-
Fear Campaign
-
Archetype
Of all the top ten lists, this one is the most ridiculous. Seriously, this isn't number one? This song is a masterpiece on every front.
Probably one of Fear Factory's most emotionally uplifting tracks. Powerful and hits hard.
Hands down, best Fear Factory song of all time.
-
Pisschrist
A powerful song that hasn't been matched even to this day. It still remains one of my all-time favorite Fear Factory songs. The fact that it isn't any higher is a disappointment, but still, it's Fear Factory, so I can't argue too much.
An absolutely amazing album, and this song is no different. It blends melody and aggression so well, which is what I love Fear Factory for! Another great track is Demanufacture.
The entire album is their best, but this song is truly powerful. This song is by far the best Fear Factory has ever done.

Powershifter

Resurrection
Revive all my fears, revive wasted tears, revive void within, revive once again, again, again, again.
Reach for the sky, touch the sky, revive a hope for mankind.
A brilliant progressive song that always has melody and damn good rocking momentum!
-
Slave Labor
-
Descent
Lyrics, melody, emotions, energy - it has it all. Just listen to the damn intro. It gets me hooked every time.
It's got a bit of a grungy sound, I think. Probably my favorite by these guys, a great song.
Something about Burton's vocals and the riff is just pure Fear Factory.
