Fear Factory

Fighting for my life
And for a right to exist
Freedom from oppression
Drives my will to persist
I struggle in a conflict
Just to make my stand
Nothing lasts forever
Now my time is at hand

You have been warned

Tear away the scars
Away from my skin
Scrape me to the bone
It fuels my revenge

[Chorus]
No one can save me
The weight of my burden
The pain and the hurting
My life is real
'Cause after the fall
I rise above all
'Cause after the fall
I rise above it all

I was made for war
Anger powered core
What gives you the right
You can't judge my life
What gives you the right?

[Chorus]

'Cause after the fall
I rise above all

Fear Factory is an American heavy metal band that was formed in 1989. During the band’s career, they have released nine full-length albums and have evolved through a succession of styles, including nu metal, death metal, groove metal, and thrash metal. Fear Factory was enormously influential on the heavy metal scene in the mid-to-late 1990s. Fear Factory went on hold in March 2002 following some internal disputes, but reformed later that year without founding member Dino Cazares, adding bassist Byron Stroud, and previous bassist Christian Olde Wolbers as guitarist.

In April 2009, a new lineup was announced. Cazares returned as lead and rhythm guitarist, and Gene Hoglan as drummer. Bell and Stroud reprised their respective roles, and the band completed a seventh studio album titled Mechanize. Former members Christian Olde Wolbers and Raymond Herrera —both of whom were playing in Arkaea—disputed the legitimacy of the new lineup, and a legal battle from both parties was begun. Fear Factory released its eighth studio album, The Industrialist, in June 2012. Their latest album, Genexus, was released in August 2015.

Over the years, Fear Factory has seen changes in its members, with lead vocalist Burton C. Bell being the only consistent member since 1989. The band has performed at three Ozzfests and the inaugural Gigantour. Their singles have charted on the US Mainstream Rock Top 40 and albums on the Billboard Top 40, 100, and 200, and they have sold more than a million albums in the U.S. alone.
