Fear Factory

The smallest part
A single spark
Can leave this world in ashes
The fire inside
Burns my mind
Set to destroy the masses

Burn
This
World
Down

Consuming tide
Floods my mind
Filling my soul with rage
Just one spark
In my heart
To damn this world flames

My burning fate
Seething with hate
To set this world on fire
My burning fate (FATE)
Seething with hate (HATE)
To set this world on fire (FIRE)

All will burn
Nothing spared
From my incineration
Decimate to devastate
Path of annihilation

My burning fate
Seething with hate
To set this world on fire
My burning fate
Seething with hate
To set this world on fire
My burning fate (Fate)
Seething with hate (Hate)
To set this world on fire (Fire)
My burning Fate (Fate)
Seething with Hate (Hate)
To set this world on fire (Fire)

Set this world on fire
Wake of the Oxidizer
Set this world on fire
Wake of the Oxidizer

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.
