Line #7 NightmareFuel/FearFactory


1	Fear Factory not only has one of their lyrics as the heading quote for the main Nightmare Fuel page, but it's also right in their name. [[SchmuckBait Go ahead and listen to at least half of their catalog.]] Sweet dreams~!

4	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meoMO0zw_dA "Suffer Age"]]. If the lyrics based upon the murders committed by John Wayne Gacy don't scare you, the ominous guitar riffing at the beginning will.
5	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COPIz3FLHI8 "Christploitation"]] is a good five minutes of the band reminding you that God doesn't exist, the afterlife doesn't exist, and you will become nothing after death. Also, pianos are still ''creepy as all hell.''
6	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq5Qy2SxwNE "Controlled Demolition"]] Takes you right back to 9/11 complete with a 911 call from inside one of the towers.
7	* The outtros to pretty much all of the closing tracks are pretty unnerving, especially [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xs2KtOHiiAQ "A Therapy for Pain"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Kwro3L_xTw "Final Exit"]].
8	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stwbczbBdC0 "Slave Labor"]]. The song itself isn't really that scary, save for the synths in the main riff, but the subject matter is about self-immolation, which means burning yourself alive. The chorus actually has the line, "Help me pour this gas on me!". Interpreted by some to be about political activist and performance artist [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathy_Change Kathy Change]], who did commit suicide by public self-immolation about a decade earlier.
9	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO6riftFA8g "Byte Block"]] also has elements of this. The creepy bridge that leads into the loud scream near the end doesn't help either.
10	* The samples in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaiUB45c-5Y "H-K (Hunter-Killer)"]], specifically the intro and outro: "A WAR AGAINST THE MACHINE-INE-INE-INE-INE-INE--".
11	* The bonus track [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxgi4jCHiO4 "0-0 (Where Evil Dwells)"]], despite being a cover of the ''Wiseblood'' song of the same name, is perhaps one of the most downright disturbing tracks the band has ever released. It takes all the creepiness from the original song and ''amplifies it to 11.'' Burton's vocals in the first verse start off very gravely and sinister, with his tone slowly increasing as the song progresses, to the point his familiar growling has completely taken over, all whilst bone-chilling synths have begun to creep in and accompany the track. This is followed up with Burton loudly screaming "STAAAAABBB!" at the top of his lungs before the chorus.
12	** It also doesn't help that during the chorus, Burton is repeatedly screaming "FLESH! FLESH! FLESH!" once again at the top of his lungs.
13	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mtDkKRkcCU The]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYR5EDf-zSk demos]] for their debut album songs (Concrete does not count) are no slouch either. Take the already creepy songs from that album, downgrade the audio quality heavily, add in some ambience, and the end result is absolutely chilling to listen to. This quote from a Youtuber states it best.
