Piss Christ
Fear Factory · Concrete [2002]
Who was the man, that some feared
That some believed?
He was the man that would save them
From the stifling hands of terror?
Hatred was confused by lies
Was his own entity, was his own destiny
Dragged through the streets
Crucifix, humilation
Was his own entity, was his own destiny
Betraying laws of mankind
So death come in the night
Why did the father not save his son?
That some believed?
He was the man that would save them
From the stifling hands of terror?
Hatred was confused by lies
Was his own entity, was his own destiny
Dragged through the streets
Crucifix, humilation
Was his own entity, was his own destiny
Betraying laws of mankind
So death come in the night
Why did the father not save his son?
Piss Christ
Released on Fear Factory's 2002 album Concrete, 'Piss Christ' stands as a defining track of the industrial metal genre. The song exemplifies the band's signature fusion of heavy, distorted guitars with aggressive, rhythmic drumming and a vocal style that oscillates between screaming and melodic singing. Produced by the band's own members, the recording captures the raw, visceral energy characteristic of the early 2000s industrial scene. The track serves as a powerful sonic representation of the album's themes, reinforcing Fear Factory's reputation for delivering intense, high-tempo performances that blend technical proficiency with emotional outbursts.
