10. Descent (Obsolete, 1998)
“Lyrics, melody, emotions, energy – it has it all. Just listen to the damn intro, gets me hooked every time. It’s got a bit of a grungy sort of sound I think.”
9. Zero Signal (Demanufacture, 1995)
“Such a unique melody angle. It’s not your typical sad minor melody, it isn’t euphoric major either. It’s crazy simple, and yet so damn effective. Memorable as hell.”
8. Resurrection (Obsolete, 1998)
“A brilliant progressive song that always has melody and a damn good rocking momentum!. What a Great Song, so Beautiful, so Immersive!”
7. Fear Campaign (Mechanize, 2010)
“Excellent mix of metal grit and mainstream song-structuring/arrangements. That chorus at 2:05 easily has the quality to be played on the radio if it were repackaged without the distorted guitars and heavy drums.”

6. Linchpin (Digimortal, 2001)
“Fear Factory is beast as hell. Industrials best band in my opinion. Because you actually feel like your in another universe with all these machines around you and it’s just bad ass. I also love the double bass in this song it sounds like a machine it’s self.”
5. Pisschrist (Demanufacture, 1995)
“A powerful song that hasn’t been able to be matched even to this day. Still remains as one of my all-time favorite Fear Factory songs. The entire album is their best, but this song is really powerful.”
4. Self Bias Resistor (Demanufacture, 1995)
“This song is incredible. All of ‘Demanufacture’ is, but Dino palm-mutes like no other, and on this one he opens up the power chords and rains hellfire upon the listener mid-track with the biggest industrial breakdowns I’ve ever heard. Yeah, this track and album are Fear Factory’s gold standard.”

3. Demanufacture (Demanufacture 1995)
“In my opinion, the definitive fear factory song, a very raw, thick sound, mixed with some electronic parts. This is world class, crossover metal for an more intelligent mind – sure you can be a rno-neck tubthumping idiot and get off on the grooves, but Demanufacture is aimed at the mind AND the body of its fans, whether you choose to listen is up to you…”
2. Replica (Demanufacture 1995)
“First song I heard from a band and remind me so good real nu/ alternative metal times I Think This is the FF totality song. They’ve got so many great songs should be top one (Archetype, Powershifter, Demanufacture, Self Bias Resistor, Linchpin, or Edgecrusher) and no one got powerful guitars like them but replica is must hear from a band.”
1. Shock (Obsolete, 1998)
“One thing any good album needs to do is to hook you right away with the very first song you hear off the album. “Shock” absolutely nails this to a tee. Powerful, straight-forward, and one of the go-to songs for leading a battle, “Shock” not only comes off as one of the tracks that would DEFINE Fear Factory during their unstoppable force in the late 90’s, but it stands the test of time well enough to the point I’d argue its one of the best songs in the industrial metal genre.”
