There's not a massive number of metal tracks that express so much emotion that it genuinely moves you, but this is one of them. This might genuinely be the most beautiful metal track I ever listened to. I loved it when it came out and I love it to this day.
Fear Factory is by far one of the most creative metal bands out there. Obsolete was such an amazing album . From front to back . One of my favorite songs was freedom or fire..
Funny how nostalgic this is and how modern it sounds. Wonder if FF will have the Pink Floyd effect and have an explosion of interest after their time. They sure as fuck deserve it!
I strongly recommend Mechanize, a master piece, the record where Bell and Cazares reunited and they got Gene Hoglan as drummer, I dont need a "pink Floy effect" I enjoy this mf now and been listening since Soul of a new machine, enjoy as well that masterpiece
Ricardo Galvez Iv'e enjoyed it since the very day i saw them live with Type O Negative 20 years ago. I still wish them legendary status, because they deserve it, they are ahead of their time the same way Floyd was. I don't NEED it either, i enjoy them regardless.
Gbrlsho Seriously! I hear so many people telling me i just got old... fuck that! No dude. There is less talent today then there was even 10 years ago! When was the last GREAT arena rock/metal band? Who remembers when Van Halen blew everyones mind? Or when Pantera brought back the metal scene? Where are the larger than life rock stars? Where are the new emerging bands playing for 300,000 rabid fans? Everything is short cut now. I have to say, the internet is most likely responsible for what i call "fast food music" they just bust out with whatever stupid pre-mixed bs they can and sell it. Modern day pop music is a fucking cancer!
Cool! 😎 Im a single, 47 yo autistic Buddhist philosopher! Obviously Resurrection isn't prominent in my religion - but I love this song! I did study Catholicism in undergrad btw - I'm interested in all the major religions.
I love this song too! My religion is Jesus and God. I talk through Jesus to God to get my Devine guidance. You shouldn't let mankind label your beliefs with man made religions. Spend time with Jesus instead of worrying what group you belong to and you will see a great difference. Also I could never be part of a group that has priests getting caught every other week molesting the children in the church.
When I was overseas doing crazy crap, when I had a moment to myself, I would lay in my bunk, put on my headphones, max the volume, and listen to this album (this song in particular) focusing on each part of the music. It was like a form of meditation. I truly believe that I came out of that shit much better off mentally than a lot of other guys as a direct result of doing that. Long Live Fear Factory!
I was a Husky operator for 15 months and when I'd return from long missions and another base I would turn on my cool speaker and just rock out and my platoon Sergeant told everyone in the building to just " let me decompress " and to just " deal with my metal music ". Platoon Sergeant Showers was the absolute bomb!!!
28 dec 2011 the day I started getting clean, 17 years of drug addiction that had finished on opioids, been clean since I played this song over and over, it became clarity in my nightmares
Met him many years ago after a gig, their tour bus had broken down at the back of the club and he came out to chat with us, very cool guy. Dino was a fucking bellend though.
@@thisplaceisdeath1465 would be interested to hear more. Haven't met them but the recent interviews with Burton and Dino were interesting yet painful to read. Great band, saw them play Demanufacture in it's entirety a few years ago, amazing gig.
personally, i find this resembles command and conquer tiberian sun. the digital face being cabal. the post apocolyptic environment. the super soldier looking guy being a ordinary gdi trooper. and the NOD propaganda
Jason Pate Not really. Funny enough, Digimortal, admitted by Burton, was very influenced by The Matrix. He didn't release the concept because he said he realized it was too much like The Matrix.
Nem33 Bro, check your facts before you make comments. This song is on the "Obsolete" album, released on June 28th, 1998. An album i got the day it came out. The Matrix came out March 31st, 1999. I saw it in the theatre on opening night. The similarities are striking between these 2 artistic works, both taking on a very Orwellian "1984" kind of feel to them. The directors/writers/producers of the Matrix created a work of art with Metal music as the underlining current. Even thr plot of "The Matrix" has themes very similar to the story line of "Obsolete" (a concept album), there's only one man who can successfully defeat the machines to retake control over a world gone terribly wrong. Im not saying.... Im just saying...
Thank you FF for making this amazing record. Rediscovering all of your music has relit the flame in me when I was giving up and about to say goodbye to everything . I've been in a void the last month. This song still makes me tear up the same as it did when it came out. This album was such a masterpiece and this song was the magnum opus. All the feels pain and frustration and the bleak light of hope at the end of the tunnel. You guys have done God's work without even knowing it. You guys got me back in the gym and got me fighting and raging against the dying of the light of today's society. The world is so bleak right now and the world needs this more than ever. We re sinking with no anthem for hope
I love so many Fear Factory songs, but I'd have to say this has always been my favorite, especially hearing it live in concert. Moving. Powerful. Beautiful. One of their best. 🙌
Indeed! Demanufacture is a highly underrated album btw. Everytime I go back to listen to that one it still sounds better & more complex than anything coming out today. Especially the song Replica.
Consumed with memories that proceded to die. Given the chance to breath life was slipping away Suffered through tragic nigh Of my slow decay Deceptive tendencies dragged my soul away All that I know there was no God for me A Force that shatters all, absence of mortality Revive all my fears Revive wasted tears Revive from within Revive once again ... Again .... again Forsaken by destiny, forsaken by my own mind I must remove my skin to seek relief in your eyes All that I know there was no God for me Force that shatters all absence of humanity Revive all my fears Revive wasted tears Revived the void within Revived once again ... Again... Again Reach for the sky Touch the sky Revive a hope For mankind
Burton's vocals are on another level. Metal is full of incredible vocalists, but the way Burton switches seamlessly from those mesmerizing cleans to that deep , powerful yell/ scream....he has no equal.
The older I get the more this band grows on me. Which is cool. Because its the exact opposite of what usually happens. Also their songs have great replay ability. They don't get old.
Oh shit I didn't know F.F. made a video for this song!!!!!!!! Holy Shit I am so stoked...... This singer can totally out do Erin Lewis from Stained... As a matter of fact, Erin Lewis and Staind isn't not even in the same league as Fear Factory. This song is one of only a few and I mean a few which means only 2-3 songs of all time in the metal world that can bring me to tears and make the hair on my arms and neck stand up.... Anyway peace out my fellow fans.
fear factory for ever .....anything that changes someones life the way this band did deserves recognition untill the end of time...times may have changed but my absolute admiration for this music will never dir.....metel for ever....
the ending, 3:42, so powerful. get goosebumps every single time i listen to it... burton is an amazing signer. since i saw them in 95 for the demanufacture tour, i've been hooked. can't wait for their next album.
Burton is my complete favorite singer of all time. People often accuse him of singing off-key, especially on the demanufacture album, but all I hear is the beautiful masterpiece of emotion he presented. Obsolete will always have my three favorite songs by them; Descent, Resurrection, Timelessness... but no matter what... Fear Factory will always be my favorite band of all time. LONG LIVE FF!!!! :3
Kamyl Wilson His clean vocals are always awsome on CD but he struggles live sometimes but as you say its the raw emotion he projects its awesome. I love my heavy stuff but I'm a sucker for a ballad (well if you can call timlesness from obsolete a ballad and Final Exit from Mechanized ballads) love the vocals on timlessness
Jamie Ross I try not to hound him too much for his live vocals. Dino always plays live in the same tuning, so when they play a song like Mechanize (Normally in F Tuning) in a higher Tuning; his cleans have to go higher. Which, isn't completely his fault even if he struggles with hitting them.
It is sooooo damn awesome!! I agree torque and hell ya Stickshift! And Kamyl i agree, one of my favorite singers of all time....Burton is unbelievable!
That concept of having to pay for fresh air at a booth has been stuck in my head for years, since I first saw it in the nineties. These guys were Indeed way ahead. And if this album was released in today's Era, it would definetly still be groundbreaking. Such damn artistry.
my first diapers in rock. wow how long has it been!! This music took me to other great bands and pure rock. But without them, I would not have met them.
This band been my favourite ever since high school and I'm 35 years old great times I don't regret none of them at all RIP Nadia Becerra i miss you so much sister😭😭
My dad loves sabbath and purple, but hates any metal from metallica onwards and always laughs at it, "death, hell, rooor" etc. This song however blew him away.
I heard this when I was 14 in 2004 on a burned cd from my friend! But didn't have the names or titles.. Years later remembered the lyrics and boom found this. I probably replayed this song 500 times on my portable cd player. Burned thru countless batteries! Man I love this song it has every thing
This might be my favorite all-time song. I have been listening to music for 40+ years, yet this song continues to haunt me, to follow me, to torment me, but I will never leave it, nor will it leave me
I'd completely forgotten about this metal classic, which was part of my regular song rotation 23 years ago. It randomly came up in my playlist tonight and it has been restored to my song rotation, never to leave again. Thanks for the awesome, touching tune, FF. 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
Pretty sure I found FF via a Metal Hammer CD Roadrunner showcase involving this song. One of the best teenage discoveries I had. Honestly, I never delved too deep into this band but 'Resurrection', as well as 'Linchpin' always stayed with me. Those two in particular are genuine metal classics. In a genre often swamped with negativity - belying Black Sabbath's path - Fear Factory harnessed darker emotions with the prospect of something better after the catharsis of metal.
Brings me back terrible memories from last February. I listened to this between the little 2 minutes of break time before I shit all my guts out. Ugh. Got me through the 2 days of stomach pain and suffering. Sorry if this disgusted anyone but how much suffering I go through when it comes to my stomach is just straight hell
Lyrics : Consumed with memories that preceded today Given a chance to bereave life that's slipping away Suffered through tragedy of my slow decay Deceptive tendencies dragged my soul away All that I know is there was no God for me Force that shatters all, absence of mortality Revive all my fears Revive wasted tears Revive void within Revive once again... Forsaken by destiny, forsaken by my own mind I must remove my skin to see belief in your eyes All that I know is there was no God for me Force that shatters all, absence of humanity Revive all my fears Revive wasted tears Revive void within Revive once again... Reach for the sky Touch the sky Revive a hope For mankind
What a chorus this is omg. Burton Cell had some pipes back in the day. It's crazy how good it still sounds. Reeeeeeeeeeeviiiiiiiiiiveeeeee Aaaaaaaaaaaall myyyyy drreeeeeaaaaams

This track makes me believe that in a dying world there is still beauty to be discovered.
There's not a massive number of metal tracks that express so much emotion that it genuinely moves you, but this is one of them. This might genuinely be the most beautiful metal track I ever listened to. I loved it when it came out and I love it to this day.
i agree totally
Meshuggah's Straws Pulled At Random and Godflesh's Love Is A Drug From Hell are other similar ones for me.
Same. Nothig can touch what this band's "ballads" have done. Even Genexus and the whole Blade Runner theme is just.. devastatingly emotional.
Couldn't agree more. Love this track 👍
I was just thinking the same thing as I listened, before reading this 100% accurate comment.
'Reach for the sky, touch the sky. Revive a hope for mankind' was probably the most optimistic and epic lyrics they ever wrote.
ABSOFUCKINGLUTLY!!!!!!!!!
Not just the lyrics, the way they’re expressed. Hope and passion intensely delivered.
@@daihop very well said my friend !
I find this whole song uplifting! one of my favourites.
Fear Factory is simply one of the greatest metal bands to ever exist.
April 2019, they could release this tomorrow and it would still be ahead of its time. Genius 👍
Hey Geoff their so unique the mind boggles 🤘
Outta time
I found my fam! Yes
December 2019
AND today we confirm this fact
One of the best "Rising from the ashes" songs ever written and performed!
Type O Negative and Fear Factory is Litteraly my adolescents.
Much simpler times back than I want the 90s back!!
I love type o hell yeah
Amen!!!
this track is made in 2300 year,its future
same!!!
Type O Negative!!!!!!❤
Fear Factory is by far one of the most creative metal bands out there. Obsolete was such an amazing album . From front to back . One of my favorite songs was freedom or fire..
Because Fear Factory is a Industrial metal band. I think the most creative bands out there are the Industrial metal bands.
FREEDOM OR FIRE IS TOUGH AS FUCK. ITS FUCKEN BRUTAL AND IT MAKES MY EYES WELL WITH HAPPINESS. YES IM YELLING.
Same here! Freedom or Fire is unreal
Makes u wanna go to war Braveheart style... lol ...
And of course shock #1 babyyy!
I get goosebumps listening to this masterpiece.
You are not kidding man, me too
I tear up like a little btch and I'm not ashamed
Totally
A message to the future generations: "DON'T LET THIS SONG DIE" 💞👌😊👍
To relaize there wont be ever be a time in metal music like this ever again is something else. Thank you Fear Factory
This song pulled me through a very dark time of my life.
Ff is doing that for me right now. God bless brother. Stay metal
@@MrBlick76 They will always hold a place in my heart. Especially this song! \m/ \m/
It's that kind of song isn't it? Hope things are better for you now man.
Yes
@@MrBlick76 i hope you are doing well :)
Funny how nostalgic this is and how modern it sounds. Wonder if FF will have the Pink Floyd effect and have an explosion of interest after their time. They sure as fuck deserve it!
We can only hope...
I strongly recommend Mechanize, a master piece, the record where Bell and Cazares reunited and they got Gene Hoglan as drummer, I dont need a "pink Floy effect" I enjoy this mf now and been listening since Soul of a new machine, enjoy as well that masterpiece

Its. Brilliant .. Rip music nowadays
Gbrlsho Seriously! I hear so many people telling me i just got old... fuck that! No dude. There is less talent today then there was even 10 years ago!

Modern day pop music is a fucking cancer!
I'm a single autistic Catholic philosopher, 40 in November and this was my favourite song in grade 10!
Cool! 😎 Im a single, 47 yo autistic Buddhist philosopher! Obviously Resurrection isn't prominent in my religion - but I love this song!
I did study Catholicism in undergrad btw - I'm interested in all the major religions.
Me too
My son and boyfriend are autistic, as well! God bless you.
...and I'm definitely Catholic, teaching my son to bless himself and pray. God bless you.
I love this song too! My religion is Jesus and God. I talk through Jesus to God to get my Devine guidance. You shouldn't let mankind label your beliefs with man made religions. Spend time with Jesus instead of worrying what group you belong to and you will see a great difference.

One of my all-time favourite song collections. The first time I heard it, the energy it emitted was so raw and beautiful, like a star.
Still makes me tear up after 25 years.

Burton C Bell is a legend.
Thank you for that.

He is somehow a prophet who tried to show us the terrible truth behind the SYSTEM.
The "Obsolete" album was basically "The Matrix", before "The Matrix" was "The Matrix"...

Love the way FF create their synthetic/mechanized universe. Dramatic, energising track
Burton C. Bell, we’ll miss you so very much.

Michael Profita I so agree.
Levi McElravy-Indeed!! It's my favorite album by them(I have 4 of their albums)...
Timeless indeed!
You can certainly hear their influence on a lot of newer bands.
Consumed with memories
that proceded to die.
Given the chance to breath
life was slipping away
Suffered through tragic nigh
Of my slow decay
Deceptive tendencies dragged my soul away
All that I know there was no God for me
A Force that shatters all,
absence of mortality
Revive all my fears
Revive wasted tears
Revive from within
Revive once again ... Again .... again
Forsaken by destiny,
forsaken by my own mind
I must remove my skin
to seek relief in your eyes
All that I know
there was no God for me
Force that shatters all
absence of humanity
Revive all my fears
Revive wasted tears
Revived the void within
Revived once again ... Again... Again
Reach for the sky
Touch the sky
Revive a hope
For mankind
😘
REACH FOR THEEEE SKYYYYY ....TOUCH THEEEE SKYYYYYYY....REEEEE-VIIIIIVE AAAA HOOOOPE ....FORRR MANNNNKINDDDDD!! Epic!!!! FF forever!!
Phenomenal song.... future metal! Still relevant to this very day! Glad that Fear Factory is still there in some form 🔥🤟
So glad they're playing this track live, Mill does a great job
His voice is sublime. Just perfect.
This album just blew me away when it came out !!! This band always had a vision and sound that was only theirs !!! Can't mistake them for anyone !!!
This is the song I listen to during those days when things just seem a bit harder to cope with than most. Incredibly uplifting.
I'm with u bro
Fear Factory are the soundtrack to my teenage years....I get such warm reminiscent feelings when listening to songs like this.
Me too
i feel you, mate
It's true man. Linchpin video opened up a whole new door to modern metal for me. What a time it was
greatest industrial metal band EVER!

reading the story in booklet gave this album another layer (and yeah, my 18yo self playing Carmageddon along)
One of the best metal song ever.
Period.
A true masterpiece
This is a theme album. You must listen to the whole album to get this video/song. Amazing music, songwriting, etc.
my first diapers in rock. wow how long has it been!! This music took me to other great bands and pure rock. But without them, I would not have met them.
It's my daughter favorite, she's only 4 years old.
LindaOo27 Parenting at its best! 🤘🏻
☝️In fact, Metal will never die. 🤘
Nice work. You’ve made my day!
Parenting Done Right
Let it stay that way pls. It’s better for kids to listen songs like this instead of modern pop-rap-whatever it is garbage
This band been my favourite ever since high school and I'm 35 years old great times I don't regret none of them at all RIP Nadia Becerra i miss you so much sister😭😭
My dad loves sabbath and purple, but hates any metal from metallica onwards and always laughs at it, "death, hell, rooor" etc. This song however blew him away.
Sounds like he'd like The Hand That Bleeds too.
itookallthenames I sure hope it did haha
That's awesome.
respect
It's ok I hate Metallica too but love these guys
His singing is just so distinctive and beautiful. You wouldn't mistake him for any other vocalist.
Feels like I go back in time to 1998 when I listen to this
me the same :D
+peter muzika Hell ya!!!! I miss those days.
amen
Been there, done that... memories, memories.
FUCK YES!
Never heard FF before. A guitarist suggested I listen in preparation to work on drum parts for his music. I'm glad I chose this song first. Excellent!
I heard this when I was 14 in 2004 on a burned cd from my friend! But didn't have the names or titles.. Years later remembered the lyrics and boom found this. I probably replayed this song 500 times on my portable cd player. Burned thru countless batteries! Man I love this song it has every thing
With the drones and the mask from the booth, this was years ahead of its time. Just awesome.
Metal in the year 2113
This might be my favorite all-time song. I have been listening to music for 40+ years, yet this song continues to haunt me, to follow me, to torment me, but I will never leave it, nor will it leave me
Industrial metal was before and after obsolete album. Master piece. The best line up of fear factory with Cazares and Herrera. Greatness.
I keep coming back to this.
I swear, Bell is like the Corey Taylor of this band. Can vocalize like an angel and growl like a monster.
I think of that when I hear his IOWA vocals it does remind me of Burton and the powerful sound
I'd completely forgotten about this metal classic, which was part of my regular song rotation 23 years ago. It randomly came up in my playlist tonight and it has been restored to my song rotation, never to leave again. Thanks for the awesome, touching tune, FF.
Revive all my fears
Revive wasted tears
Revive void within

Again, again, again

I never misunderstood it this way...and I'm german! xD
😂
This is taking me back, just watched 'Down' Mountain biking Dvd. Holy throwback!!
Such a beautiful song. So far ahead of its time it really is incredible. So glad i saw them in their prime 4-5 times in the late 90s early 2000s
This is my favourite FF song. I was gutted they didn't play it live.
The long version is better
Still helping me to get through my angst, even at 37. Thank you FF ❤
Best industrial metal band EVER!!!
The best concert...I've been..wa Perth these..r lyrics
This track is so spiritual.
Ever time I hear this song I time travel back to 2009 when i was 3 and i wouldn't stop listening to this band I have the coolest parents
what a song, great album - it was the album i listened to all through 1999.
Brings me back terrible memories from last February. I listened to this between the little 2 minutes of break time before I shit all my guts out. Ugh. Got me through the 2 days of stomach pain and suffering. Sorry if this disgusted anyone but how much suffering I go through when it comes to my stomach is just straight hell
Greatest song by the greatest band. Enough said.
Lyrics :
Consumed with memories that preceded today
Given a chance to bereave life that's slipping away
Suffered through tragedy of my slow decay
Deceptive tendencies dragged my soul away
All that I know is there was no God for me
Force that shatters all, absence of mortality
Revive all my fears
Revive wasted tears
Revive void within
Revive once again...
Forsaken by destiny, forsaken by my own mind
I must remove my skin to see belief in your eyes
All that I know is there was no God for me
Force that shatters all, absence of humanity
Revive all my fears
Revive wasted tears
Revive void within
Revive once again...
Reach for the sky
Touch the sky
Revive a hope
For mankind
Song gives me shivers.
Blew all my money in the year 2000 on CDs all the time.
Best song on Obsolete!! Besides descent
Disgusta Payted edgecrusher dude!
Love descent :') now im gonna listen it again
Not One Freedom or fire also best!
Edgecrusher by far bro
Edgecrusher, descent, resurrection are my favorite from the album
Fear Factory such a diverse band! they change there sound all the time and dude i'm so addicted to it!! Bring the noise boys!
One of my favourite songs, this is what got me into FF.
Obsolete is a classic plain and simple it barely ever leaves my car cd player to this day!

What a chorus this is omg. Burton Cell had some pipes back in the day. It's crazy how good it still sounds.

Industrial Metal....cyberpunk i love it
Damn, I'll miss this band
I'm mentally ill. anxiety, depression and bipolar. this song explains exactly how I feel most days
Same here. I'm getting over a bout of psychosis right now and for some reason all I've wanted to listen to is Fear Factory lately.
Love fear factory one best live band I have ever seen.
So ahead of its time.
