Ascension of the Watchers - Moonshine

Since there was no video made for this lovely song, I decided to take the opportunity. All credit goes to this interesting group formed by Burton C. Bell of Fear Factory, and John Bechdel of Ministry.

From the album "Numinosum."

For people thinking this is about him being religious or searching for ancestry, your wrong.

The message of this is still the same fear factory, but from the other perspective. This is still about freemasonry and the Illuminati, but this is more of hope rather than anger.

[Mythosician06]

You're wrong for trying to define the meaning of this song for everyone. I simply take it as a monologue on existentialism.

[gblcarvalho94]

@dano555666 i dont get ur point.. wut u mean when u say freemasonry and illuminati, plz answer. thx

[Mythosician06]

@gblcarvalho94 I don't know why you bother asking, since the lyrics are pretty clear. And Fear Factory never sang about the Freemasons or the Illuminati, just about the rise of technological dependence, sentient machines, and the breaking point of humanity. They've made this clear time and time again.

[Mythosician06]

I'm not sure if anyone else notices, but the frame I used at 3:39 to 4:07, coupled with the "Film Age - Old" effect, really makes the clouds look like they're moving a little bit, almost like mist does.

A similar effect happens on the water with the frame at 1:41 to 2:10, it looks like the light on the water is actually refracting.

Very good music, Burt C. is one of the best vocalists! This is very light music,but not a faggoth style.

[Mythosician06]

Despite whatever derogatory label this music may be given, it's still good music.

[nowaiman]

He is actually a good vocalist, but I do wish Fear Factory would come back together.

[gblcarvalho94]

@Mythosician06 i know FF never sang about those things thats why i asked wut that guy meant .....

[MsRockgirl33]

@Dano555666 this is nothing like the songs FF writes This is something personal 

[743d]

@dano555666 no way, it's about booze!

[juffjaff]

Figs.

[beanthegod]

the moon no longer shines for me

[pooperscoopr69]

Personally, I always seek to unravel the mysteries of the universe in concert with our cosmological via Youtube disquisitions predicated on lyrics extrapolated from a song.

Deep...very deep.

[Overdown25]

good video. great song. like the fact that he can do fear factory then evolve to acension. .. support him 100%.

[TajMikel]

@dano555666 Also, look up the definition for the word numinous (album is called Numinosum) "Numinous is an English adjective describing the power or presence of a divinity".

[TajMikel]

@dano555666 Yeah, I think saying anyone else' interpretation is wrong and that yours is right is kinda jacked man. And while I think it's good for you to give it whatever meaning you want, here is a quote from Bell himself that pretty much states clearly what the lyrics are about, "Lyrically, I wanted to explore the true nature of my soul, the place where my heart was headed.” .. Don't see much Illuminati stuff in that.

[MegaJosh1981]

See everything is okay people, Burton explored and reunited with his old friend and came back with one of the best Fear Factory albums ever! An artist has to keep his mind open!

[bmarkyt132]

the promo ep versions are so much better

[CtheReal]

No matter what Burton C Bell does he will always be a great music artist and always respected by me and anyone who knows what he's about. Any music artist thats not afraid to think outside the box has my support.,

[SocialDissimulation]

I would say the exact same thing, to be quite frank. Monologue on existentialism seems to hit the nail right on the head.

[SocialDissimulation]

It is good music, thank you for posting it, friend. Man, what a trip.

[rezzy123]

like this just as much as fear factory.

[4205592]

burt needed a break from FF, he searched his soul and this is what came out, its a good thing.

[13inchesDragon]

I think this is where his soul at.... I like it brotha'

[LadyShesu]

That works for me.

[antissimo]

..seems Burton is searchin his celtic roots with this work...

[EDDGC]

I feel happy for Burton as a person, for what I listen he may feel and be a wholer, happy and better person and that is great and should go for every human being.
