They kind of invented those transitions, harsh verses -> abrupt clean chorus. That abruptness was the point at that time.
And along with In Flames etc. created a new genre of sorts, paving the way for new bands and generations to come but at the same time "ruining" it for many old school metalheads.
100%
If Terminator was a band, it would be Fear Factory
It would be DEMANUFACTURE.
@@OpnDoarPlcy hell yeah
Demanufacture was inspired by Terminator 2
Agree!
They were the OGs of clean and screaming vocals. Some people love it and some don't.
I seen them in Baltimore at the old Hammerjacks. Great show
Burton C. Bell was the best voice for FF....
I get that, but they need to be more respectful. Ryan is just downright insolent and mean spirited.
Yeah FF was one of the first or the first band that put clean vocals to death metal.
It was definitely a jarring contrast, I didn't like then and still don't like it now, shortly after that I discovered Meshuggah and was like "THIS is how you do it".
I bet I have listened to this album over 100 times since it was released. It's definitely a landmark album for modern metal.
@@julianortiz4151, good for you. I'm sure your family is proud of you.
@@BazonBlades you're a pronoun aren't ya?
A true masterpiece.
I bet I've listened to it over 1000 times.
This album got me through some rough times in my life
George & Ryan: keep in mind the timeframe this song was released in. I know you mentioned "bro metal vocals". Fear Factory were literally the pioneers of mixing the harsh vocals with the clean vocals. Along with syncopated drums & guitars. This band opened the doors and influenced MANY bands today that you now like.
Self Bias Resistor is my favorite FF song. However, I understand what you don't like about it. I feel like you guys would like Zero Signal off this album much better than S.B.R. It's more traditional, song writing wise. It was also the song on the Original Mortal Kombat movie. Also, Shock is the opening track to their follow up album Obsolete. You'd like that one for sure, in comparison.
Edgecrusher too. A little hip hop element
To me, they will love Demanufacture title track a whole lot better. And they'll like Edgecrusher and possibly Lynch Pin.
> Fear Factory were literally the pioneers of mixing the harsh vocals with the clean vocals. Along with syncopated drums & guitars.
Also one of the first, if not the first, artist to incorporate deep, electronic bass drops into metal. As a teen back in the day, I listened to both rap and metal and used to imagine that sound combination in my head. Demanufacture, which I got soon after it was released, was the first time I heard it actually being done.
I literally wrote the same thing before reading your comment. Yeah it was revolutionary.
Certainly takes me back in time. Groundbreaking stuff.
You guys may have to ease yourselves into Fear Factory. Their recurring theme is a dystopian world of man vs. machine. The music reflects the starkness between the two, vocals included. Fear Factory are incredible.
I fuckin prolapsed my left lung laughin when Ryan said "United States of America" in that clean voice.
I know. It sounded so casual and sarcastic at the same time lol
😂😂😂😂
Dude I don't know what's happened to him, his insights used to be my favourite part of these videos, seems like he's just kind of a hater now?
Same! OMG I couldn’t stop laughing.
@@Vivi_9Finding out a reaction channel is just pretending to like stuff to build a profitable channel wouldn't be a new thing by any means. I just hope that ain't the case here cuz I've been watching them for 6 years and consider this channel to be among the best music reaction channels on youtube.
This was one of the most influential albums of the 90s. It's pretty much ground zero for kick drums playing in unison with the chugging riffs. Those abrupt changes ,that you guys hate, are intentional, just as they are in a great deal of extreme music.
They've had their tastes curated by popular mainstream music. They only appreciate things that are predictable which is boring.
Impossible to state how huge this album was at the time. Lots of hugely influential bands that “change the paradigm” don’t age that well. I put FF into that category. Rarely go back to them now despite loving this album and Obsolete
They paved the way for the mix of clean and distorted vocals.
In that regard, I don't see too much difference between this and say, Opeth, who they like. It's abrupt changes for sure, but it gets better when you know they will happen after a couple plays.
No they didn't. Many bands had already done that in thrash
Which ones?
Zero Signal was my shit back in the day.
Zero Signal is still my shit to this DAY
Song blew my mind when a first heard it. Raymond Herrerra's feet ftw!
Replica was my favorite on that record
Since I first heard it in the OG Mortal Kombat movie, I was a FF fan 4 life.
@@beefcheeks9353to be fair, and i may be wrong, but i believe ff and demanufacture in particular used a lot of midi triggering of kick. I’m sure they haven’t been secretive about it. And i’m not saying that doesn’t take a certain amount of skill and i think they did it for a particular sound as well. But i used to think that man os a machine and it’s actually part machine lol
Fear Factory, known for blending harsh vocals and cleans for 30 years.
You guys: That's unwarranted
Yeah I was laughing at the irony of that. “If they just got someone to put their songs together better” meanwhile globally recognized band for exactly that reason..
sometimes these guys amaze with with how on point two dudes who grew up with rap can be with metal and sometimes it’s jarring how off they are.
Yeah man. Ridiculous. Though I suppose they've been exposed a lot to Tool and the honey in Manards voice also doing it all, cleans + screams. It's like their reaction to Killswitch Engage too, apparently HoJo is doing opera impersonations. I don't understand these guys. It seems like they have expectations going in. Not everything is supposed to flow and transition. Sometimes the extreme contrast is the point. You have MC's spitting on tracks that have been sliced, diced, and stitched jarringly together from an often eclectic and incongruous mixture of various songs - literally sampled and scratched to shit to produce rhythms and stuttering/broken vocal phrases. Yet it's too much when someone sings a melody instead of a rhythm. Dunno, weird.
@@robertjones9598 They seem to like Opeth though
Ryan's insolent remarks were what was unwarranted. Not just that he didn't like it, but his attitude about it.
Yeah FF literally invented nu metal being harsh verse and clean chorus vocals.
That chorus melody is fire! No idea how they dont like that part. Fits the song perfect, imo.
Agreed. It's not for everyone, and I'm fine with that lol😂
Totally agree. 🤷♂️
Yeah, its a divine chorus indeed haha no idea whats there not to like.
These guys are fans of certain type of transitions though.
Yeah the chorus is best part of the song
Yeah I'm a very harsh critic of cleans over heavy riffs but this one was good
1st time I heard Fear Factory was during the fight scene between Scorpion and Johnny Cage. After that I have been a fan ever since. They pioneered the scream singing followed by melodic. Dino is a beast on guitars andno matter who their drummer has been through the years, they get busy with the double bass.
I owe my musical taste to the MK movie soundtrack, hahah!!
That MK soundtrack was FIRE. Napalm Death, Fear Factory, GZR, KMFDM ...
Fear factory isn’t a band you can judge based on one listen. Every album is so different, and the machine is constantly evolving.
I absolutely love Fear Factory, but "Every album is so different" is not true at ALL lol
Yeahhhh I can put them on shuffle and it’s relatively the same
"Every album is so different"
Said no one about FF, ever. Soul is different because they still leaned heavily into death metal at the time, but everything else is pretty much Demanufacture and them trying to recapture that magic again with every album.
Fear Factory, back in the 90s, was the heaviest shit I'd ever heard. They were OGs & trendsetters. Give em another chance. Invisible Wounds, Slave Labor and Archetype are incredible
Archetype is a harder album to find these days
Police state 2000
Bro they ain’t gonna like any FF ever.
Different genres, but Cryptopsy, Nile, Deicide, Suffocation, were pretty heavy too ;-)
Fear Emptiness Despair by Napalm Death, Demanufacture by FF, World Demise by Obituary, ...For Victory by Bolt Thrower, and of course Chaos A.D. by Sepultura...what a World back then.
Holy moly. U guys finally came around to some Fear Factory. I was asking for some years ago and I never thought the day would come. Please do some more. And thank you!!!!
Pisschrist, body hammer, or zero signal would have been an easier listen I feel. They should give one of the “ballads” a listen like Therapy for pain, final exit, dark bodies, expiration date. One of my favorites though has definitely got to be controlled demolition.
Static-X and Spineshank
I think you guys would like Linchpin a lot more. Came out during the peak nu metal era.
Agree with static X and Spineshank. Probably Spineshank more, as there is just more depth there (love WDT, so love to staticx) musically.
Gotta disagree with Linchpin though. Demanu/remanu/obsolete is pretty much it for FF, IMO
Spineshank is the TITS. I owned Height of Callousness back in the day. Front to back, bangers.
It's killer to see some more fear factory , you guys should check out the obsolete CD it's full of killer songs 🤘🏻
They’d probably like Edgecrusher. Love the Obsolete album. Was lucky enough to see them on that tour in a smaller club
@@pressman1788 definitely, that's what I was thinking so many brutal ones on there 🤘🏻
HOLY SHIT YOU DID FEAR FACTORY?!?! Oh I can't wait to hear this reaction 🤘🏻
My thoughts exactly! I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time
Weirdo
It’s the opposite of “groove” so I can already tell you they will be clueless deer in headlights. 😂😂
Yeah, they struggle with fast tempos and unpredictable changes. @@stewartdowouis9218
@@stewartdowouis9218
They seemed to enjoy the song except for the vocals
Woooow!! Fear Factory for life. Innovators. This album is one of the most important albums in the history of metal. So many got influenced by. Finally reaction to FF
Don't get me wrong. I jammed to Demanufacture back when it came out. Good stuff. However, one of the most important albums in metal history? That they were the ones to influence the ones who came later? Not even close, man. Ministry had a MUCH bigger influence on the scene. That's throwing some serious accolades on a "flash-in-the-pan" band That's about on par with KMFDM.
@@palehorse1511 first band in metal who put growl/clean combination on a map. Influenced bands like Korn, Slipknot, Strapping Young Lad and countless more. Demanufacture was ahead of its time and considered to be one of the most important albums in metal whether you like it or not. But I'm not surprised though, a lot of people forget about FF influence for some reason. Prolly because they didn't become very big in the end.
@@TrulyStucker totally agree man. I really feel Gojira owes them a debt.
@@palehorse1511 I love Ministry in a big way, and they certainly influenced FF, but that's where the comp ends. FF did something very different and did influence many other bands to emulate their particular formula.
@@palehorse1511It's not even right to compare Fear Factory to Ministry. They don't sound anything alike save for the industrial elements. FF is far more metal. Hell, Soul of a New Machine is essentially death metal, but done with that trademark Fear Factory mechanical industrial sound/style and Burton's clean vocals mixed through out.
Resurrection is in my opinion their best song. It’s perfectly written.
Agree … remember hearing Resurrection 25 yrs ago and blown away and I am not a renowned metal head . Just a ripping clean ball of energy song
Demanufacture is one of the best metal albums of the 90's PERIOD.
Fear Factory established 2 standards that bands still use today. 1) the double bass mimicking the guitar riff and 2) growl to clean abrupt vocal changes.
I have worn this album out on cassette and CD many many times through the years. I love the chorus and I love when people don't get it. 🤘😆 stay metal
I still appreciate the fact that you both are unafraid to say you don't like a song. So many react videos don't.
ryan cant handle more than 2 things happening in a song without calling it "prog" first and pretending to like it
What makes them great is that they were the first in the world to do exactly this style.
(Playing like a machine, combining growls with clean vocals, machine-gun riffs evolving from metallica's One. )
They are one of the infrastructure of the metal music world, just as we forget the people who drew water supply in our daily lives.
Please Listen to "Shock" to hear their musicianship at its best.
Raymond Herrera. Best Drummer ever!
Fear factory is a good gym band. Like when you're trying to do something that you want to be aggressive in this music is for that
The album is credited to have been mixed and produced by Colin Richardson, Greg Reely, and longtime collaborator Rhys Fulber. They were signed to a major metal label, Roadrunner Records, at the time, and all artists signed to these labels had experienced producers and mixers. That transition from harsh to clean vocals really is what it's supposed to sound like, it's just the mindset of the 90s and early 2000s. You had to understand that era (in metal) in order to appreciate this trait in the song. System of a Down was notorious for composing like this. Gojira also has made a lot of use of this style in recent years. "'Abrupt" changes are not exclusive to prog.
My favorite Fear Factory track is Edgecrusher (urban assault mix). You fellas should check that out. It has a killer beat.
You ever listen to that full album with the robot narrative between each track? Absolute next level for the concept album. U probably have if u like the album anyway. But I would HIGHLY suggest anyone that's a fan to cover-to-cover that.
They NEED to look into Obsolete.
Fear Factory was the first band to incorporate clean vocals with metal vocals.
What? Lol Metallica? Many bands did that before them
@@LRM5195what are you talking about ? Metallica? Lol we’re not even on the same level here. Fear Factory was the first to incorporate Death Metal style vocals with clean vocals. James has one style of singing, if you want to call it that.
@@TanoArchuleta My bad I read your comment wrong. I read it as “Fear Factory was the first band to incorporate clean vocals with metal music.” And that made me question everything haha I’m going to sleep now 😴
@@TanoArchuletaPantera were doing it before Fear Factory. I do think they were one of very few bands doing both vocal styles at the the time, just not the first.
Ermmm... don't forget the extreme screams grunts and inhale screams of Mike Patton... Faith No More... Angel Dust, 1992... fear factory demanufacture was 1995 and even Mike patton says during the angel dust sessions he was influenced by godflesh
I’ve seen Fear Factory 4 times live. 1997, 2010, 2023 and 2024. Killer shows every time. Their sound has been a blending of choppy hard vocals mixed with melodic vocals. Themes on their music has been about man vs machine. Listen to the albums Obsolete and Mechanize. One of my favorite bands of all time.
🤘🏽😃🎶
I’m sure the 1997 show blew away all the rest. Saw them south Texas around that time and they were monsters. Saw them more recently and was majorly disappointed. They are getting old.
Saw them at Ozzifest 97.
No one cared about them 🤷🏾♂️ they reacted to that 1 mortal kombat song at that was it.
You nailed it with Fear Factory live. They will put doo-doo in your pants inside a venue. Their sound and ability to play super tight with great vocals (now, thanks Milo), will forever leave a lasting impression.
The allure of this song in 1996 was that they were at the forefront of metal bands incorporating industrial sounds, scream/growl/clean vocals all in one song. Nevermind the syncopated drums (blatantly started with Metallica & acknowledged by FF).
Fear Factory’s Demanufacture and Meshuggah’s Destroy Erase Improve, both came out in 1995, and both albums were the shape of metal to come 😎🤘🏼
I absolutely love Fear Factory! What a throwback!
don't give up on fear factory though, there's some gold in them there hills.
I feel if you heard Body Hammer or Zero Signal you would be blown away by the drumming
kicking off fear Factory with their best song, huh? lol my prediction is you guys aren't going to dig this one, but I'm excited for the video anyway
I always selfishly wanted them to do FF, knowing they wouldn't dig it. Idk why that's a particular want of mine...but they picked a great song for it. Like when they did DEP, I feel they picked a great song for the band...and they hated it lol
You guys should really hit up some static x
They have some sexy ass songs that a great for strip clubs.
Try the song obsolete, edgecrusher is good, or shock If you like the more aggressive sound without the clean vocals
I would go with Edgecrusher
THE ABSOLUTE OG's OF GOOD COP/BAD COP VOCALS. I can't understand the dislike. it's unfathomable to me.
You guys MIGHT like tracks off of obsolete more, as it's more groove oriented.
the cover of " cars "an old song they did was great.
Love that damn album!!!
TESTAMENT!!! The Gathering album
Dino Cazares is a killer guitarist.
Burton C Bell and Dino Cazares = Amazing 🤘
powershifter fear factory. you will love it
If the don't like SBR they should just move on. If they don't like that song they won't like Powershifter.
You guys should give a try on UNCONDITIONAL by PRONG.
Try to think about it this way. The screaming voice is the negative voice in one's head and the chorus is the positive voice. Now listen to the song again.
I thought this was a terrible choice of song to represent Fear Factory in a way that these guys might enjoy... So many better picks
which ones would you pick? they love groove and alot of it lol
@@solaropposite6112 Replica, edgecrusher, shock, linchpin, resurrection
😮 in eight years of watching I have been PRAYING that you guys discovered my favorite band!
I've been listening to Fear Factory for maybe two decades or more, and I had the chance to finally see these guys live a few months ago.
Man, I went to a lot of concerts, but this one is in my top 5.
Can confirm they kill live, with the addition of the new Vocalist Milo it's one hell of a show
Was a pivotal band back in the day... saw them a couple of times on the Demanufacture tour in the UK
I saw FF in the 90’s in NYC and they blew me away…I’ll be in the UK for the first time next month to see Napalm Death in London and then again the next night in Liverpool…I’m super excited
Like others have mentioned, the abrupt dirty/clean transitions were very intentional, like everything FF is. They pioneered that approach and they nailed it. When you say they need to 'construct songs in a proper fashion ', is laughable, because they were masters at that. Your ears still need some training. Regardless, y'all are great. Thank you for introducing great music to those that may otherwise never hear it.
I think for Ryan "properly constructed music" basically means typical predictable boring song structures. Popular music is overflowing with that shit. We don't need anymore. God bless
Fear Factory and most metal for giving us something different and interesting and thought provoking.
Give them another chance - try "Fear Campaign"
The clean vocals were what drew me into this song and album. My favorite part of the song. It’s one of the standout albums of the 90s.
Appreciate that you guys keep it honest with what you like and don’t.
Fear Factory don't get enough credit for the synchronized double bass and rhythm guitar sound that every modern metal band uses now
I think Linchpin would be a good song of theirs for you guys.
Over the years, I've grown to appreciate how "In Tune" you guys are with metal.
You truly HEAR music in all of it's voices.
I love the reviews where you don't like the track and tear it down.
Demanufacture is a simply incredible album and personally I've always loved Burton's mixed vocals.
FF is a legendary band with a pioneering sound that people have been copying ever since. The dichotomy of clean vs harsh vocals was one of their hallmarks, along with Rays machine gun drumming that people used to think was a drum machine because the accuracy and speed was unparalleled.
May you guys need to try some songs off of Obsolete, I would say its a more accessable album than Demanufacture.
Self Bias Resistor has probably the most original and flawless Fear Factory transitions. And this is saying a lot. This song would be nothing without the cleans of Burton.
This album is an all timer for me. Not surprised they didn't like it, but calling it "bro metal" or whatever that comment was... read the lyrics.
Fear Factory was/is a fragment grenade going off in your face. There are exceptions in the catalog, but in general their music isn't meant to congeal. It's meant to take your head clean off.
Fear Factory invented this style. It’s meant to be like this. It set them aside from death metal genre they were lumped into. Metalcore has FF to thank for their entire genre
True, Burton did it first.
Proud to be on the short bus! I love this song!
Good talk on live performances - seeing FF in 95 when this came out was a tour de force. Brutal shows in Upstate NY.
I love Fear Factory, I also have always had a love/hate relationship with the clean vocals. I do think it fits in them having a futuristic fantasy industrial sound. I’ve always envisioned the clean parts as a robot.
Martyr is a must 🤘🏻
FF is criminally underrated, they were the pioneers of this vocal mixing style and that chunky machine gun guitar/drums sounds that 1000 bands copy. Dino is a mastermind and Burton was Unique. And yes....we are from Pluto !!! The chorus is divine.
My first intro to fear factory was shock. Heaviest shit ever. Since then every song every chance to see them and every broken neck headbanging to their music was worth it. Fear factory are God's among the machine!
Those post-punk/goth rock clean vocals that Burton introduced was what caught my ear when I heard Fear Factory the first time. It’s one of their special sauces and in this particular song is what hooked me
FF🤘 They don’t have a single bad song in their catalogue. 🤘
I love Fear Factory and have been a fan since the late 90s, but that is simply not true. They have one album in particular that's just straight up garbage. Hint: It was one of the 2 albums they made without Dino..
@@vio2112 that's your opinion as well. People love to bash Transgression but it has some Fear Factory absolutely 100% tunes like 540k Degrees - this is a classic FF tune. I personally love this record even though it sounds different and somehow unfinished.
I waited for years, my favorite reaction channel to review one of my favorite bands, just excited, thank you guys, please review more songs. Love from Mexico
You guys are wrong on this one. Phenomenal track!!!!!
Self Bias Resistor was an anthem for my life in the late 90s.
Old Fear Factory was just incredible! Demanufacture was a lesson in brutality, then to follow it with Obsolete which was a symphony in grinding heaviness. Those cd's stayed in the player in my truck for MONTHS at a shot. I'm glad to see them diving deeper.
It's basically the industrial metal polar opposite of the grunge quiet, loud, quiet dynamic....loud, quiet, loud haha!
It was always basically Meshuggah and Feart Factory that rocked this style in the 90's. Good time.
Edge Crusher & Linchpin are solid choices. Obsolete is probably my favorite album. I got to see these guys back in the 90s and that bass kick was so punchy it probably gave me an irregular heart beat!!! LMAO
Linchpin and Edgecrusher arm warriors speed love the metal reactions guys keep them coming
This song is an absolute banger. And Demanufacture is just monumental and way ahead of it's time. I hear Fear Factory influence in almost all modern metal
Pioneers of Metal, this album still holds the test of time for music and production
Alright D$@# it! Metallica, And justice for all! C,Mon to! You two will love it and I can't wait to see you love it!
When they started, musically, nobody was playing with the precision as these guys. It changed how clean and precise bands started to play. As, far as the vocals ? Any band that does growls and clean vocals were inspired from them. Difference is, the art is now perfected. FF changed shit in the metal genre.
First, I will always be eternally thankful to these 2 men for turning me on to Jinjer. Secondly, I always gotta give a Fear Factory reaction some love, as they are my favorite band.
saw them live in a tiny bar back in the late 90s, was a great show..
This is fantastic, i wish you could hear this live in a small dark smokey venue... the double bass drums, tied in with that unique guitar pattern would blow your socks off!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of the best metal songs of all time.
Fear Factory was the best sounding live metal band that I've ever heard. I was blown away with the clarity of everything they did. It was like the album on steroids. Only Meshuggah came close .
I have been waiting forever for fear factory!
Invisible wounds is a MUST. Burtons vocals really shine
Their first album is an all timer.
Man the clean vocal chorus is God tier in this also with zero signal and replica too...
The singer has a side project, Ascension of the Watchers, their song Ghost Heart is fantastic. Industrialish but not super heavy. Just a great groove.
it's not a side project, he is no longer in FF now.
DEMANUFACTURE and ZERO SIGNAL should’ve been the two songs to react to.
Trippin, those changes are pure gold.
Burton C Bell was a Godflesh fan. His screams are very similar to Justin Broadrick. The same thing with his clean vocals. Not implying he's a copycat but Broadrick was the first to do scream/clean thing. Anyway this was a great reaction video and since you mentioned Migods, why don't you guys do Bone Thugs N Harmony related stuff? They don't record anything new as a band but brothers put out new songs every now and then. Krayzie Bone is probably the most underrated MC in the history of mankind.
