Default Judgement
Fear Factory · Archetype [2004]
Discrimination, your assesment, penalty
I suffer!
Spiteful resolutions, by your sentence we must fall
Spiteful resolution, bitter thought destroy us all
We suffer!
Your final judgement stands
Fate, by your will
I never had a chance
I never will
By your default judgement everyone has suffered
Your pointless judgement caused everyone to...
Suffer!
Your final judgement stands
Fate by your will
I never had a chance
I never will!
Day in which god judged humankind
Your final judgement stands
Fate by your will
I never had a chance
I never will!
Never...
Default Judgement
Fear Factory's "Default Judgement" stands as a defining track from their 2004 album *Archetype*, exemplifying the band's evolution into industrial metal. Released during a period where the group balanced their signature electronic aggression with more melodic sensibilities, the song features the distinctive vocals of vocalist Benji Webbe. It captures the raw energy and mechanical precision characteristic of the genre, serving as a pivotal moment in their discography that bridges their earlier industrial roots with the heavier sound explored on subsequent releases like *Transgression*. The recording remains a staple for fans of the genre, showcasing the band's ability to craft intense, atmospheric tracks that resonate within the broader industrial metal community.
