FEAR FACTORY: 'Mechanize' Track-By-Track Guide By BURTON C. BELL
- Nov. 10, 2009
FEAR FACTORY — the newly revamped band featuring original FF members Dino Cazares (guitar) and Burton C. Bell (vocals) alongside bassist Byron Stroud (who played on the last two FEAR FACTORY albums in addition to touring and recording with STRAPPING YOUNG LAD and ZIMMERS HOLE) and legendary drummer Gene Hoglan (DETHKLOK, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, DARK ANGEL, DEATH, TESTAMENT) — will release its new album, "Mechanize", in the U.S. on February 9, 2010 via Candlelight Records and February 5, 2010 in Europe via AFM Records. The CD, which was co-produced by the band with Rhys Fulber (FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY, PARADISE LOST), was recently mixed by Greg Reely (PARADISE LOST, FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY, SKINNY PUPPY).
"Mechanize" track listing:
01. Mechanize 02. Industrial Discipline 03. Fear Campaign 04. Powershifter 05. Christploitation 06. Oxidizer 07. Controlled Demolition 08. Designing The Enemy 09. Metallic Division 10. Final Exit
Regarding the new album's lyrical approach, Bell stated, "In the past, the lyrical concept was of a futuristic, 'sci-fi' nature. An attempt to protect the ideas and logic of those involved in FEAR FACTORY; because those who incite progressive thought are always chastised and persecuted. By placing the 'story' into a futuristic, fictional narrative, the words and ideas may not have seemed threatening. Not so for 'Mechanize'. These are the words of a reality that once seemed distant, that are now apparently, and evidently real. These are the words of the world in which we live; for what once seemed like a story of another time, has come to be our reality today. Welcome to the world of 'Mechanize'."
"Mechanize" track-by-track guide by Burton C. Bell:
01. Mechanize
Bell: "The title track describes our world as the soulless program that it is. Every part serves a purpose. There is no such concept as individuality within the machine. We have carved our place inside the machine. We have grown banal within our apathy. We have become mechanized."
02. Industrial Discipline
Bell: "The term was taken from the book 'The Third Wave'. It explains the path in which the industrial complex, and it's construct, initiated the path of conformity. Everyone worked for the benefit of the machine, not for themselves. The discipline begins in mass education, determining time and placement, superiors and subordinates, rank and file. Humanity has been disciplined to do the work for the machine, therefore becoming the machine."
02. Fear Campaign
Bell: "It was not necessary to camouflage the insanity of the world of today within a science fiction setting. The world today has become the world that writers predicted long ago. The controlling authorities are constantly, and successfully, utilizing the fear tactic to control the masses, through misinformation and distraction. Fear is bondage. Fear is slavery. Fear is Hell. Fear is control."
04. Powershifter
Bell: "Change is an inevitable course in nature and humanity. This world has seen much change as of late, and it is true globally, nationally, and personally. This is a true story of a personal struggle against a controlling and ineffectual organization. There is always a choice, and the choice is never easy."
05. Christploitation
Bell: "Christianity has become a parody of itself. Through the ages, exploitation of myths, words, and the use of the fear tactic, have ruled the masses. We have seen so much death and destruction in the name of a man made god that it means nothing. What is faith, but the belief in an archaic superstition; an overwhelming fear to face reality of the world today. Invoking the name of Christ has become a common practice The original concept does not apply. This is control through conformity and a false sense of morality."
06. Oxidizer
Bell: "One molecule of oxygen can alter the course of the world. It can start the deterioration slowly through rust, or it can quickly incinerate everything in it's path. Either way, change is going to happen. This is about the trial by fire."
07. Controlled Demolition
Bell: "So many questions, so many lies, so perfect a destruction. All one has to do is consider the theories. Why is it so difficult to believe that our elected officials are above destructive corruption? History has proved that absolute control through violence and deception is a common theme. Consider the alternative thought, and you may see there is truth behind the False Flag."
08. Designing The Enemy
Bell: "Everything that occurs is a direct consequence of our own actions, creations, and manifestations. The machine that creates will ultimately be our demise. It is coming, the future is here."
09. Metallic Division
Bell: "The rhythm of mechanical death..."
10. Final Exit
Bell: "Based on the organization of the same name. A group of individuals with enough compassion to assist those who are interested in 'self-deliverance' from their intolerable pain. Is it compassion that drives the ability to help one commit suicide? This is a statement about the world in which we live, when the only cure for cancer, AIDS, MS ( and any other debilitating disease ) is death. Where is compassion to to assist our fellow human being in their time of unbearable pain, to keep them alive without hope of survival? Where is the compassion to find a cure, or to eliminate the diseases entirely? There is no profit in the cure... only pain and suffering."
*** "Powershifter" *** lyrics:
Feared your control and excessive greed Abuse of your power disgraced me You want war You got war More than you bargained for I damn you and leave defiantly Cut you out and take it all with me You want war You got war More than you bargained for Always question authority, control my own destiny Forcing change, breaking free From the gears of the machine Changing my world so I can live Execution powershift I will forge my place in this time Contention is sharply refined I will expose you and force your demise To take control of what is truly mine
Regarding "Mechanize"'s musical direction, Bell told Sergio Alvite of Mexico's Search & Destroy, "It has the raw aggression of what 'Soul Of A New Machine' [1992] was but it has... I would say it has the maturity of 'Obsolete' [1998]. When I say 'maturity,' I mean that it has the songwriting skills that 'Soul Of A New Machine' did not have whereas 'Obsolete' did."

i love the powershift lyrics, fuck raymond and christiand and christy for trying to fuck over the machine!!
Can't wait for this album! This track by track guide is really cool, I hope they can settle all the drama and just move on. Keep this Fear Factory and keep things movin.
Agreed, why do grown men have to act like 10 year old bitches in a play ground. Though it would be good seeing Ray and Christian back in the lineup, but I'm happy either way.

Yeap, 'Powershifter' has to be about RH & COW. Hopefully the judge residing over the Fear Factory ownership case doesn't give a Default Judgement and have the song turn back in his face. They wouldn't be wasting their money on cd covers, release dates and record deals if there hasn't been a green light for the new FF.
Sounds like the album is a view of USA, not the world. Perhaps the title should be: 'MeRIcanize.
Great, 'Christploitation' another pathetic anti-christ song, what would a metal singer know about religion? Nothing. Yawn.
Have to agree with 'Controlled Demolition', the elect officials of this decade are trouble.
first of all, I really like this new song - I think the aggressive stuff that Dino's been doing with Divine Heresy combined with Burton's lyrics / vocals could be great.
as for "youcunt" - seriously? how sophomoric. a few points:
1. metal singers know nothing about religion, huh? does that include Demon Hunter, Living Sacrifice, P.O.D., etc.? see how generalizing makes you sound stupid?
2. it's not even an anti-christ song - it's an anti-organized religion song. please try reading and retaining information before getting angry.
3. most of all, you are the one who is pathetic. an alternative view cannot be dismissed just by the mere fact that it is alternative to your view and you don't like it. offer a counter argument (even though the description has nothing to do with what you're arguing about), otherwise you sound afraid to get into the details - which is actually understandable since you'd be taking the side of christianity.
4. when you die, nothing happens. sleep tight.

Just that because man is weak, and greedy, a bunch of people have used his message to make themselves powerful and to try to control the weak. That's not every head of the local church, it all goes on a case by case basis. The original message is still a good one, as echoed by Pete Steele just the other day "Treat people the way you'd like to be treated" how simple and true is that? Fucking simple, and fucking true I say!

It's interesting how I said, that man is weak, yet some still have power over the "weaker".

I don't understand why pick fights with band member (Dino) and then write lyrics about them and saying "F--k you" (Cyberwaste) and then two albums and 5 years later get back together and write more shit-talking lyrics about somebody else in the band... A bit juvenile, no?
Nonetheless, I love everything ((FF)) ever did (including the U2 cover, better than the original haha)

kingbull20: "gee, thanks Burt for the meaning behind the lyrical content of your new songs. Because we all care about lyrical content."
-I do care about lyrical content when it comes to valid topics, not repetitive ones which a lot of the pussy metal acts sing about, like 'love.'
C.I.U.- still living in denial under a belief of a being that does not exist and was only created to get you to conform to someone else's beliefs and not your own. One to defend christianity is obviously one, and I among others was once as such, but there is no light at the end of that tunnel. Time to wake up and realize that 'GoD' is nature and everything around us, not a super powerful being that will someday comeback...I think we'd have a better chance at meeting aliens first!

Well the concept of the album is quite interesting, its like a combination of the typical FF concept about a future world but linking it to the present time. I am really excited about this album, we have received a lot of information in few days so these 3 months will be very long hahahaha.
I don´t know if any of these songs are against Ray and Christ but I hope that this is not truth, it would be a very childish attitude really..

Sorry dude, i forgot you knew everything and that everyone should come to your conclusions. Another probable atheist that think he has the intellectual copacity to understand all there is to know. I'm actually an agnostic that leans towards a christian religosity. I can understand that human beings are incapable of not truly knowing all yet I don't have the audacity to push my beliefs on others like you do. I can state my beliefs without forcing them on others yet, you seem to find the need to push your shit onto me...

to all those who say nothing happens when you die have not died thus have no proof either way regarding the subject and are just trying to bash Christianity but the truth is that an afterlife has been the basis of all religions since time began with each religion have a central main god (though some had many other gods as well) and some form of spirit or soul that must face trials to enter to a heaven like place... all of you anti God people crack me up as much as the super Christian people you all think you know the facts but in truth you are basing opinions on the words of man and not trying to find out for yourself.
I can read 1,000,000 books of opinions on religion or anti religion but I still have not gone out to form my own opinion and instead have convinced myself that these people whom I have read or heard are fact. There are few known facts in this life and there are millions of theories which are created by humans and somehow get turned into fact if enough people believe. Try to embark on a spiritual journey to discover what you feel is real or not of course if you are super closed minded and believe what you read and see is all real and there could not be anything to this world but what is shown to you through a TV then skip this journey because you are not ready.

I love the threads on these type of posts!!! People debating over Politics and Religious views. Obviously we are all interested in the new record or we wouldn't have taken the time to check it out. Who gives a shit what happens when you die? Really? You are not dead yet, Whether there is a Heaven paved with gold, A Hell of the worst imaginable magnitude, or Nothing happens at all. If you go through life being respectable to yourself and others. Thats all that matters. Fuck organized man made groups. Whatever your beliefs may be. "Always question authority" Kind of a used statement but well put. Also, The whole sci-fi under tone was dropped. If you read the statement above... (Regarding the new album's lyrical approach, Bell stated, "In the past, the lyrical concept was of a futuristic, 'sci-fi' nature. Not so for 'Mechanize'. These are the words of a reality that once seemed distant, that are now apparently, and evidently real. These are the words of the world in which we live; for what once seemed like a story of another time, has come to be our reality today. Welcome to the world of 'Mechanize'.")
Sounds great!!!!! This is one of the most plagiarized band ever It is great to hear the real FF

COMMENT | Last thought... posted by : cbrax 11/11/2009 2:56:17 PM
...yes, this should be a thread about the music, and as I said before, I really think this FF lineup could put out a monster record. First song is really promising.
But this religious argument did start because of the lyrical content, so I think it's still relevant.
So, let me just respond to "longsincedark" (I'll be done after this, I promise): you say I haven't died, so I have no proof that nothing happens when you die. Are you really going to bring up proof when arguing for religion? Where is your proof then?
My opinion is just that, "my opinion", even though it does have the backing of science. You are right, though, no one has any concrete proof. But your argument that my beliefs are manmade and therefor incorrect is laughable - it's this religious trickery that really makes my blood boil.
You're saying that because I don't have any proof (except for what I study or read or witness) means I am wrong because I am only looking at manmade clues and I am not in touch with my spiritual side, but the fact that YOU don't have any proof shows that you are spiritual and not bound by manmade ideas, and this somehow "proves" your righteousness. But spirituallity (and Gods, and ghosts, and all other imaginary stuff) is what we are arguing! This is circular reasoning - you cannot use the topic under debate as a resource to explain its existence in the first place.
I am certainly not trying to change other people's beliefs, but to call those who do not believe what you do close-minded is truly ironic - it is you that seems close-minded by dismissing alternative views.

Could you think any less for yourself?
"Great, 'Christploitation' another pathetic anti-christ song, what would a metal singer know about religion? Nothing. Yawn."
I'll add a yawn to that as well. Gotta love all these professional theologians popping up in the metal world. An anti-trend genre? Don't think so.
"a common practice, the original concept does not apply"
Ah and I guess Mr. Bell has the special knowledge of the "original concept"? Maybe he uses the time machine in his basement to go back in time 2000 years ago? It's all about some esoteric, elitist ignorance pervading the genre. You people are worse than rap fans.
“1. metal singers know nothing about religion, huh? does that include Demon Hunter, Living Sacrifice, P.O.D., etc.? see how generalizing makes you sound stupid? 2. it's not even an anti-christ song - it's an anti-organized religion song. please try reading and retaining information before getting angry. 3. most of all, you are the one who is pathetic. an alternative view cannot be dismissed just by the mere fact that it is alternative to your view and you don't like it. offer a counter argument (even though the description has nothing to do with what you're arguing about), otherwise you sound afraid to get into the details - which is actually understandable since you'd be taking the side of christianity. 4. when you die, nothing happens. sleep tight.”
Man, where do I begin. First of all there's no purpose in insulting people, unless you are a child. Clearly each person in an argument thinks the other is wrong. Saying that someone sounds stupid is just a childish reiteration that you think they're wrong. Pointless. Stop wasting time. 1. Your argument is weak. Generalizing would be taking the few and applying it to the whole, which is actually what YOU did. You took an example of a minority sub-genre thinking it applies to metal in general. A logical fallacy. 2. Please stop trying to define others’ emotions over the internet...calling him "angry" does not help your argument, rather, it makes it an ad hominem, another logical fallacy. You might have had a point until you stated that you thought his view was based on an alleged anger. Not like this point would help anyway…we all know how well 'Christ without Christianity' holds up. Take a piece of gold, have someone bury it in half a million tons of shit, and then see if you can find the gold. 3. Probably your worst flaw. Since when did he dismiss the view simply because it is an "alternative" one? Are you letting your atheistic presuppositions about Christians blind you? Just because Youtube/atheist blogs say that Christians refuse all opposition does not mean that it is absolute truth. Are you being influenced too greatly? His counter-argument was actually quite clear: Burton C. Bell is in no position to make claims toward the most important phenomenon in the history of mankind, let alone produce an album that contains a song against it, so thousands of individuals (including innocent children) can hear him. It is an injustice to the human mind…the individualist brainwashing of American culture and society. His concise, clear argument was met with personal attack and loads of assumptions. These are often the tools used by those who are afraid to argue. They think they can win over their opponents by force…a complete inanity. 4. When I die, something happens, sleep tight.
“C.I.U.- still living in denial under a belief of a being that does not exist and was only created to get you to conform to someone else's beliefs and not your own. One to defend christianity is obviously one, and I among others was once as such, but there is no light at the end of that tunnel. Time to wake up and realize that 'GoD' is nature and everything around us, not a super powerful being that will someday comeback...I think we'd have a better chance at meeting aliens first!”
XxMachine_HeadxX – still convinced that something does not exist even though he can never prove it, brainwashed by the mainstream media and part of the most intolerant, uninformed group of antagonists to walk the earth. Cannot see that secularism was created as an individualist refuge, with an elitist agenda for those who desire their own “intellectualism” before their fellow man, no matter how much they claim they live for others. Claims to be his own person, a “freethinker” (irony is overwhelming here), yet cannot be any more of a follower. Thrives on the internet, for no one in the real world puts up with shaky worldviews containing undeveloped doctrine supported by weak argumentation. States (in such profound examples of philosophical insight) that “there is no light at the end of that tunnel,” in hopes to display that just because a belief was stated positively, means it contains truth. Cannot even realize that his pantheism was dealt with and dismissed as complete ignorance some 1500 years ago. Thinks his idea is “new” and “exciting” in its elitism, but since he is so uninformed about history, he cannot see that it is simply, “been there, done that.” When you get to non-existence, tell Ralph Waldo Emerson I said “hi.” Actually, all I have to do to tell him myself is talk to this tree, right?
“If you go through life being respectable to yourself and others. Thats all that matters. Fuck organized man made groups.”
LOL. WOW. I’m not sure I’ve ever witnessed contradiction so close together like that. Wow kid, you have A LOT of work to do.
“Are you really going to bring up proof when arguing for religion? Where is your proof then?”
I realize that everything I just wrote about your previous comment was a waste of time. One who thinks religion is based on proof is not even worth arguing with.
“My opinion is just that, "my opinion", even though it does have the backing of science.”
My sentiment is now multiplied a hundredfold.
“You're saying that because I don't have any proof (except for what I study or read or witness) means I am wrong”
Did he ONCE say you were wrong? Kid, he just said that you can’t debate the subject! Get with it!
“and Gods, and ghosts, and all other imaginary stuff”
That’s a logical fallacy known as Complex Question. I’m sorry but this is just too easy.
“you cannot use the topic under debate as a resource to explain its existence in the first place.”
This is a terribly formed idea. I’m not even sure one can understand it. Since the topic is “the validity of religion,” you can say that he was using the validity of religion to explain the existence of the validity of religion? Where did he say, “because it is true, its truth exists.”? What kind of reasoning is this?
“I am certainly not trying to change other people's beliefs, but to call those who do not believe what you do close-minded is truly ironic - it is you that seems close-minded by dismissing alternative views.”
Again, he has not even come close to dismissing alternative views. Rather, he has stated that since there is no proof, do not accept any view and find out on your own. Again, a number of assumptions which so obviously flow from your bias. They are so strong in your mind, you pull them out for almost anything. Hahaha who once said religion needs proof? And then the pithy “Have a nice day” at the end like it establishes some sort of witty intellectualism. Don’t kid yourself.
I don’t know why I waste my time. I’ve had more intelligent debates than this in PH101.

all you did was copy everyones comments and add your own two bits. you didnt add anything to the subject. you never mentioned a word about the band or the album.
also quit wasting time on the internet ranting. go in public, ive done my fair share of research of religon. its a waste of time to even bother anymore. time is short so live life to the max. not ranting away at kids and less informed adults.

All these people keep talking about how Close-Minded Bell is for the lyrics, but the point is that all he's doing is looking at the world in his own opinion and others don't like it so they try to spin it around. But come on people, it's just a fucking metal album so relax.
But in other news... Fear Factory is BACK!!
