Abstract
Fear Factory “Resurrection” Fear Factory is one of my favorite bands due to their ferocious Metal sound and great bass lines. “Fear Factory is an American metal band that formed in 1989-90 and has released eight full-length albums. Over the course of their career they have evolved from a succession of styles, frequenting industrial metal with flavors of death metal, groove metal, and thrash metal. Fear Factory proved to be enormously influential on the metal scene in the mid to late 1990s.” Retrieved 24 June, 13, One of the best songs that F.F. has produced is “Resurrection”. The band created a story to base much of their music on and express their view of the future of the world. “The whole plot of the album is presented in the album booklet in the form of a movie script with the lyrics intertwined in the story itself. The prologue is the following: "2076 A.D. Everything that you believe to be true is a contradiction. Imagine a world that is suffering a slow decay, and a culture on the edge of extinction. A world in chaos brought to obedient order by the machines that man created. The linear programming that the system machine created to bring order is failing steadily due to the one variable the machines cannot compute... humanity. In this time, man has become a docile creature herded into submission under the mechanical laws that apply, programmed and desensitized for their convenience.
However, there are certain persons drawn together for reasons that are grounds for punishment, or even death. These people long and yearn for a change within the infrastructure, a better way of life, and a logical existence. These people create factions that congregate in total secrecy in places random and unknown. These factions maintain chaos in society in order to disrupt the system, locate the weak spot, and trigger a collapsing effect. Their anger is only superseded by their will to exist, and nothing could be stronger." Retrieved 25 June, 13.

Fear Factory’s “Resurrection” has tremendous power and a soulful sound, have a look. Pay particular attention to what happens to the Bill Gates look alike about mid way thru the video. Keep in mind that the song was written in the mid 90s and is a bit ahead of its time in sound. When you listen to the thrash and then the melodic and back to thrash you may think (I’ve heard it before). The time frame is key; Burton C. Bell is one of the creators of the sound that Linkin Park http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yw1Tgj9-VU , Limp Bizkit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dn8vzTsnPps and Korn
