201 - Fear Factory Resurrection 1998

Fear Factory formed in 1990.
Their album "Obsolete" saw the introduction of more progressive metal and alternative metal elements. It´s a concept album, the story is about the future of mankind and how machines have taken over humanity. This was inspired by the band's belief that humanity has become too reliant on technology. "Resurrection" is unabashedly melodic and catchy and features some nice and unobtrusive string parts on the chorus that really make the song soar and seem hopeful as the hero talks about finding the courage to go on, it deals with the feeling that God has abandoned the singer. The music of the song is an odd twist for Fear Factory as it includes a real string section in addition to Bell's tremendous singing talent.
