| Explain Fear Factory
Sorry fot the title, didn't come up with a better name. So I've recently started to listen to Fear Factory since it always was somehow a plan to finally start to listen to them, but I simply somehow did not manage to do so nor found the elan to listen to them. So now im finally listening to them and I dig them really hard. But the more I dig into them the more I get confused. I don't really get what their position in music is. What they are trying to be or wether there is somehow a deeper meaning to what they are doing. I need somebody to explain me how can I perceive them. But actually this confusion mostly comes from reading/listening to the lyrics. For a little bit of context, my favourite band is Meshuggah and I've also listened excessively to them in the last time. So im kind of used to the detail of the lyrics, the profound meaning behind everything. And musically Meshuggah also show a high degree of detail. And you know, now I'm listening to Fear Factory and there's some kind of "disturbance". I hope you get my point and I hope somebody can explain to me quasi what their point is, their (deeper) "meaning". Down below I've cautiously rated all the albums I've listened so far. But please don't make a picture of my opinion with this list. It's still very fresh. (Burton C. Bell is one goddamn good vocalist, I really like him. I'm really surprised about him) | | 1 |  | Fear Factory

10.23.15 | Your explanation is still kinda confusing. What part of the band don't you get? Is it the lyrical content? The instrumentation? The genre? | tempest--
10.23.15 | the machines are taking over thats all it is | YetAnotherBrick
10.23.15 | I mean... look at their name and then look at how they sound. What is a "fear factory"? One thing that comes to my mind is that it's something the powers that be think they have to become in order to keep control... It's got a disturbing tone to it, which matches the music perfectly. Tbh tho, I've only heard Demanufacture. But the songs on that album align with their band name and aesthetic pretty awesomely. Just look at the lyrics like you'd look at any other lyrics- warnings about how the way we're living now will eventually lead us to destruction. etc. haha | BeyondCosby
10.23.15 | What Yetanotherbrick said. Mechanize is awesome. Definitely check that out. | thumbcrusher
10.23.15 | Their albums mostly concern the relationship between man and machine and also the power of the state - stuff like state control and freedom, with their concepts often set in the future. I guess you could say themeatically they essentially combine Blade Runner and 1984. | Gmork89
10.23.15 | I have always just associated them with murdering robots and pumping machinery and left it at that. | KILL
10.23.15 | machines and that | Gmork89
10.23.15 | and mortal kombat |
