  • 713 people also thought transgression was a good album

  • Everyone... JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP SO US WHO ENJOY IT CAN ACTUALLY ENJOY IT! The haters can go fuck their mom. No one is forcing them to watch it so again... they can fuck off.

  • @WarWolfAngel001 NO ONE IS FORCING YOU TO READ THE COMMENTS SO LICK CHODE BRO

  • Fear Factory meets Linkin Park.

    It hurts the ears.

    No wonder Raymond and Christian kind of failed with that project...

  • Singer from Threat Signal.. awsome!

  • fuck yeaaaaaaah

  • Hah now THIS! is what we should be paying money for. Not that radio friendly bullshit. Fuck pop, let's rock.

  • get the album in your car. Play it, open your window. it's priceless to do it.

  • the singer looks kinda like chad gray from mudvayne :P

  • i miss when ray was in fear factory...but he still fuckin rocks in Arkaea

  • Does anyone know where I can get this album without the vocals? If so, please do tell.

    I know there are some FF songs on the carmageddon OST.

  • Every one of you haters just keep making Jon more famous with your hating. You bunch of bads. Threat Signal / Arkaea fucking rock! \m/

  • Even though I like Jon's vocals ... They should have Tommy Vext on the next record. Just to piss Dino off.

  • @PainOfCloud hell no man, gene hogland is soooo much better than raymond

  • this song rules they should tour with threat signal and fear factory

  • @nenofalletta you realize that's not a good idea considering burton c bell kicked raymond herrera and christian out...

  • love raymond and christian, but this... nothing special, nothing new

    

  • Is that the drummer who used to be in Fear Factory?

  • @cvg1099

    Indeed, Raymond Herrera.

    Also the guitarist, Christian, is ex-FF

  • 666 likes - don't ruin it ;]

  • @amishjewboy show me an album where linkin park is this awesome

  • sounds pretty damn good :D

  • incredible band and riffing power and soul......!

  • Why are you all idiots? Arkaea is great band! Go elsewhere to intellectualization. Shut up and enjoy the music!

  • @FabrikaStraha Arkaea was more or less disappointing to me. The album wasn't anything memorable and this was about the only good track on there. First few kept my interest, but the last portion of the album bored me to tears.

  • Jon Howard rules on Threat Signal not for Arkaea

  • bass and vox from Threat Signal?!

  • Con otro cantante, yo los escucharia. saquen a ese cantante.

  • @TheVelazquez95 Are you proposing mega-commercialization? Please don't tell people you like Metal. Please no.

  • This song needs Burton.......

  • Am I the only person listening to this that doesn't care how screamish the vocals sound if there's a decent groove metal riff under it?

  • Like the music. Hate that vocal style of the screaming. Blows. The normal voice parts sound good but can't get past the awful screaming parts. Fear Factory's new stuff blows as well. The new drummer is WAY to busy. Disappointing. I've been a Fear Factory fan since the beginning. Sad they're gone. Even though they're playing, it's not the same. RIP to the original Fear Factory.

  • An absolute embarassment. Thank god they didn't try to put the name "Fear Factory" to this complete bollocks.

    Shocking.

  • since when is chester bennington a bad vocalist, im not a fan of recent linkin park, but i think he is an amazing vocalist, when did that change?

  • This IS Fucking Awesome! O:

    another band added to my playlist :)

  • jon howard has a mad voice better in threat signal

  • Kinda sound like Linkin Park in the chorus lol

    I'm not keen on his voice, it's a little high for me.

  • Meshuggah would laugh at this, but in saying that i still like this band.

  • the chorus reminded me a little of chester bennington..still great though

  • Music is good, but the singer killed it for me almost immediately and it never got any better.

  • too bad this genre suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks

  • i really like 'beneath the shades of gray' so im SO buying this album.

  • put this song against POWERSHIFTER, CONTROLLED DEMOLITION, CHRISTPOLITION, INDUSTRIAL DISCIPLINE, OXIDIZER, DESIGNING THE ENEMY, FEAR CAMPAIGN and you'll see some musical dominance. dont get me wrong Christian is a great guitar player and awesome bassist and raymond is one of groove metal legends but this band is not heavy and i expected better style from former FF members especially raymond...

  • Anybody who says this band isn't good is an idiot. just listen to war within.

  • This is just the follow up of Transgression... replace this fag vocalist with C. Bell and TADA! you have just another crappy fear factory record without Dino...

  • Guitar and Drums are terrible.

    How can this be called "metal"?

  • I like the music, but the vocal is exasperating for me...

  • I still can't understand how his vocals are even compared to LP. It ain't the same league. It ain't even the same fucking sport.

    By the way, the band is a little bit boring overall, i prefer polyrythms and awesome clean sections from Threat Signal. Inane was just a masterpiece.

  • @psicobot True, tottaly agreed

  • Silly deathcore screams

  • @chunkaguntha - No, you're just a narrow minded judgemental faggot who sheepishly follows trends, because others think it's cool. You don't know what you're talking about, so please grow a pair, and accept metal for being metal - Otherwise you're not truly a fan of metal, KENT.

  • @chunkaguntha Hatebreed? Really? Hatebreed?

  • @chunkaguntha dude .... i'll shut about slipknot lamb of god ... etc .....

    BUT screaming bands (deathcore , metalcore ) SUCK for ... one SIMPLE thing

    instrumenal is SO full there's no place for vocals ... some asshole stands on stage & ruins cool music ...

    this is cool song cuz instrumental is accompaniment for vocals & both together sounds good ...

    if you're not agree just check out divine heresy songs & then divine heresy jam ....

  • Jon is like a siren from Greek mythology he lures you in with the beauty of his clean singing and then goes for the kill with his howls that were given to him by the devil himself!! Jon kicks ass, Arkaea kicks ass, And threat signal destroys ass! :P

  • To be honnest, the riffing is like FF for dummies...really cheap and superficial.

    The chorus is absolutely awesome though, and that Canadian guy from Threat has a physiologically incredible voice. No clue how he gets so high.

  • Is that John Howard of Threat Signal? Oo

  • @IanHoopz Damn right. Pat is on bass too :P

  • Vocals suck. And yes, sounding like Chester Bennington is a bad thing because Linkin Park sucks ass and everyone who listens to them has been suckered into they're pre-packaged, clean-cut, pop metal corporate fan club. Raymond and Chris are too brutal to be playing with this dink.

  • @chunkaguntha

    Screw you, the screams are fucking awesome.

  • vocals sucks.

  • @boboindabush Gene isn't any faster than Raymond, or better, in fact Gene asked Ray "How the hell do you play some of these songs", they just have different styles is all, nobody pulls off triplet petterns like Raymond Herrera though, I have to say that. Both are amazing drummers, and you could learn a lot from either of them.

  • I like the singer....his screams remind me of chad gray somewhat...and clean sounds just like chester bennington...perfect mix

  • beats the hellout of HATEBREED. :P

  • Fuckin awesome man!!!!

  • This is more like it. That other video scared the shit out of me. Still not as good as it could be but...

  • fear factory mechanize, what more is there to say....yeah nothing is what I thought

  • fuck fear factory since they got rid of ray and chris stop talking about them and talk about this and dino can suck my dick he is a fucking lil bitch

  • I was looking up Fear Factory on Amazon and this came up as a recommendation...holy fuck what a band!! I Love Threat Signal so this is fucking insane!

  • brutal metal!!!!!!! =D

  • EPIC

  • He does sound a little like Chester when he uses his clean vox, same kind of "grain" to it. Not only how, but also what he sings reminds of LP. Not that it's a bad thing.

  • Jon Howard is absolutely the strength of any band he fronts, and I definitely dig Threat Signal more than Fear Factory and this band, but ALL of them are great. I'd purchase an album from all three of these bands. Glad to see the other half of Fear Factory hook-up with Jon. Regarding Jon sounding like Chester? RIDICULOUS. Jon's scream dominates Chester's in my opinion.

  • @NEMESYSMUSIC don't forget Pat.

    he's from threat signal too.

    1/2 FF 1/2 TS!

  • @subnoize85 My fault. I'd just been recommended these guys when I commented, so I was still fresh about all the details. Definitely a good thing that the guitar from Threat Signal made Archea! As I said above, I preferred Threat Signal, so having half the band from that pool musicianship is better for me! I hope Threat Signal comes around again; I missed them last year. Such a complete song-writing unit! I hope they put out another album.

  • @NEMESYSMUSIC Arkaea...woops...

  • This sounds like Linkin Park on meth......not sure if that's a good thing though

  • no fucking way dude. how did these 2 badass bands wanna get together. guess they have similar tastes as me

  • Did something happen to Jon's scream? I'm not complaining, just wondering. He hasn't done any deeper screams since the demo version of Beyond Recognition for Threat Signal.

  • Comment removed

  • is that the mnemic singer ?

  • @7outube1 nah, it's the threat signal singer, jon howard.

  • Why can fear factory just stay together and destroy f**king everything! Dino and Chris would be awesome double guitar attack!

  • @zenox22 ......I AGREE!!!

  • @zenox22

    no way man, dino and christian hates each other, christian is a good guitar player and i like the way he plays but can't never be compared with dino.

    it would be great if they could play together with raymond.

  • @zenox22 Because Mechanize = best FF album since Obsolete. Because the current FF Line-Up = best one ever! Because Gene absolutly destroys raymond on drums! Should i go on?

  • @boboindabush no you shouldnt.. nothing personal, but Raymond created the Fear Factory drum style.... it doesnt matter how much "faster" Gene is.. without Raymond, Burt, and Dino there wouldnt be Fear FActory.

  • @boboindabush I have to agree Mr. Zenox. Mechanize really brought the balls...haha! The opening track / title track - Mechanize - made the hairs on my neck stand on first spin of this disc. I got that smirk on my face and buzz in my body that I hadn't felt since Archetype and Obsolete with respect to Fear Factory (because I DID love Archetype). Honestly, I just love good music, and - even though they recorded with a new line-up - they got Gene Hoglan from SYL. YOU KIDDING ME?! And Dino's back!!!

  • @zenox22 Dino is a faggot, and he doesn't want Christian as second guitar player ._.

  • @grommfilm Correction, DIno is a fat fuck AND a faggot. The new Fear Factory sucked so I'm glad Christian didn't have to work with those douchebags on the new album. Fear Factory and Divine Heresy are now the same band at this point.

  • @zenox22 Because Raymond and Chris didnt want Dino back.

  • @zenox22 HELL YEAH!! they need to squash the beef!! lol seriously.

  • This is like an extremely heavier version of Linkin Park. But in other words both bands are pretty terrible.

  • Fear Factory destroys these guys. I'm glad Burton C Bell got rid of Christian and Raymond because these guys were really dead weight (Christian in particular). Half the songs on Arkaea's record were meant for a new Fear Factory record.

    For all you who like this band and don't know about Fear Factory, look them up! Hell, just go out and buy their record Mechanize.

  • @GeneralAjaxus That's a little harsh... But yeah Fear Factory fucking wrecks this band.

  • Hmmm.... Sounds ok I guess. I love the song Lucid Dreams from this album but I dont think this band is better then the accumulation of its parts. I prefer Threat signal I think. The guitar work on this song in particular is very boring.

  • @metalmikenz agreed

    

  • @metalmikenz agreed dino would've dne a bttr job..

  • I love this band. Now, it's one of my fav bands ! I'm gonna see them in France !!! Can't wait !!!!!

  • gotta say the singing kinda ruins it for me, which sucks, cos otherwise they're legit. its got that mainstream rock trying to be heavy gross make me kinda cringe cos its a little gay sound when he sings. poop on me twice...

  • Musics good but i hate the singer, he sucked in threat signal and sucks in arkaea,

  • I agree with kings

  • Copy of Fear Factory >:(

  • sounds exactly like dirge within haha just not as good. still mad good though

  • man they should have just stayed with the KUSH project

  • LOL linkin park on steroids man the vocals sucks

  • They suck

  • Comment removed

  • Ryan Martinie from Mudvayne was originally going to play bass for these guys, not full time but just record bass on the album but thought that his bass lines would be too difficult for someone to play live so the singer for Threat Signal recruited their bassist to do the bass work for Arkaea.......just thought I'd put that out there for someone to get a kick out of it lol

  • @CrawlThroughKnives10

    Wow thats interesting. Would have been cool to hear that I reckon. Oh well

  • ESCAPE FROM OURSELVES!

  • Really good band.

  • That V COW is playing is fucking sexy. I WANT SEVEN!!

  • Its all the fun of Fear Factory without all those pesky 'good vocals'

  • i love rayman herera

  • Oh no... whatta say? FF kicks ass, Arkaea licks ass!

  • not bad....not bad

  • Tbh I like the melody of threat signal better, the riffs are really heavy but I don't think it's good listening, it's just being heavy for the sake of being heavy. However, I think jon is one of the best singers out there, I can't think of anyone who has that much variety, but not only that, he is perfect at each individual sound, whether it's harsh vocals or screaming or singing.

    Well done anyway, hope you guys come out with some awesome material, the potential is there.

  • i turned this song up in my house n the power almost went out lol

  • why does this record label have so many haters? lol

  • holy shit its the singer from threat signal

  • holy shit its the singer from threat signal

  • I don't care what anyone says, but I was seriously impressed with Arkaea's intensity, FF's "Mechanize" doesn't come close. Esp. with some of the dramatic complaining. And Arkaea didn't "steal" FF's sound. Raymond helped build that trademark "mechanical" sound. So, it's almost more his than anyone. But enough of the drama, just enjoy the music

  • I saw these guys live when they opened for Kittie. They were really good!!! The funniest thing was when someone in the crowd screamed FEAR FACTORY!!! lol I know they mustve been pissed lol

  • I dont get why so many people eep saying the singer sounds like Chester, if he sounds like any one its Wayne Static. Meh, I like it.Would be better if this WAS Fear Factory. But alas im biased towards Christain on the guitar anyways.

  • Intro looks like one of Meshuggah's song to me. narx patałachy

  • Arkaea's songs were supposed to be part of the new FF album? If so, wow.

    According to Wikipedia:

    "Herrera also stated that he and Wolbers had written eight songs for the next Fear Factory record, but that a "personal disagreement" had come up between them and Bell, which left Bell not wanting to continue work with the band."

    I wonder if that personal disagreement includes musical disagreement. While some of these riffs are alright, it's definitely not vintage Fear Factory...

  • Because it's some bad ass metal!

  • yeahhhhhh.

  • ORGASM!!!

  • awful awful awful...what the fuck is wrong with you people. This guy cant sing, why bother.

  • "GUYS GUYS THESE VOCALS AREN'T EXTREMELY DEEP AND STUFF! THIS SINGER IS ACTUALLY TALENTED AND THAT MEANS HE SUCKS! GUYS I'M SOULCAPACITOR AND DZOSHU AND I MAKE SO MUCH SENSE"

  • Comment removed

  • Wow this Main riff is a reuse of 540,000 degrees from Transgression......

  • THREAT SIGNAL is better

  • I don't understand what's so wrong about the vocals?

    The vocals aren't suppose to suit your tastes, dumbasses. The musicians made it the way THEY wanted to. Fuck off if you don't like it.

  • The vocals are a tragedy ... i mean what is it supposed to be ? Some screamo or deathcore shit ?

  • One of Jon's screamings(1:44-1:51 or 1:52) reminded me of Tim WIlliams of Bloodsimple,which I'm a huge fan of them and Arkaea.Is that bad that Jon's clear vox sounds like Chester Bennington's?Really,is it?o___0

  • wow, only 1,000 copies moved? 

  • He sounds way better in threat signal

  • Clean vox sound like Linkin Park. Lame.

  • still not as good as burton. i like the original line up of ff best. oh well >:(

  • hell ya! whens the human sacrifice???

  • I love this song and this band! It's like the badassery of Fear Factory mixed with the melody of Threat Signal.

    And I love Jon's vox. His clean voice does sound like Chester, but how's that a bad thing? Chester's awesome. And you have to admit, this man can howl like a demon. Jon is awesome. Arkaea is awesome.

  • @Mellevon he sounds noting like chester

  • you're a fucking retard, threat signal is the shit, way rather listen to threat signal than fear factory.

  • @psettimi how can you even compare Fear Factory with Threat Signal? both are cool but the respect goes to FF.

  • sounds a lot like c. bennington.

  • omg Pat is a sick bassist. Adam Weber is a million times awesomer than Christian though - Adam is the tightest motherfucker EVER!

  • its not too bad in places but mechanize burns it!

  • HA HA HA HA man oh man this is a career SUICIDE for ray and christian too bad they choose HOES before BROS

  • shuszzam - You've got to be the most tone-deaf, illogical, and musically challenged idiot I have seen in a while. Using Till Lindemann in Arkaea instead of Jon Howard is like getting Stephen Hawking to cover for Susan Boyle.

  • @PlainAsProductions Hawking can probably sing better than Boyle

  • They should have attempted to hire ex-vocalist Michael Bøgballe from Mnemic his vocal sound is far superior to TS front mans and his balls are not stuck in a vice.I think he would complete the outfit of this supergroup and create an all out better sound with them.

  • Cut the linkin park shit and get a vocalist with balls and this band would be big

  • The song rules with the exception of that shitty Linkin Parkesque legato chorus.

  • I like Raymond and Christian. They're super nice guys, but if they are going to do a new project like this, they should really work towards a different sound other than that of a Fear Factory clone. That whole style was created by Dino and it's basically Christian trying to write songs like Dino would. I know most of these songs were written for an intended Fear Factory album that never got made. If I were them though, I'd consider starting from scratch with Arkaea. Get a new singer too LoL

  • So, threat signal with fear factory-ish rips. It sounds nice, but imo both FF and TS are better than this combination.

  • Comment removed

  • should've got a better vocalist

  • Great song, I still prefer Jon to stay in Threat Signal though. FF was great the way they were. They shouldn't stay combined anymore. Nonetheless, it was interesting to listen to!

  • The clean vocals sound a lot like Linkin Park

  • Its a faster version of Mnemic, but it also sounds a little too Linkin Park in places. It'll have to grow.

  • singer sounds like threat signals!

  • @priegelienie cuz that is the lead vocalist from threat signal. the lead singer and guitarist are from threat signal and the drummer and bassist are from FF or fear factory.

  • @deathsaurer515 oh haha that explains it
