Hi Samus I hope you read this but you probably won't and that's ok but when you posted this I was in the middle of surgery on my foot I'm just saying this and making this comment in the hopes that you will wish me luck on my 6 month long road to recovery thank you in advance and as always ooooooooh yuurrrrr

[@blainelewis4378]

@66samus you should react to thoughts and prayers by motionless in white and then try to play it

Hell ya dude! It’s not an easy song! I can attest! I just played it every night for 43 shows in a row with Fear Factory!! 😊🤘🏽🥁🤘🏽

Hell yeah, and you KILLED IT! Saw you in Minneapolis and the show was amazing! I specifically went to see Fear Factory and was not disappointed. I'm super stoked about the future of FF!

[@ChrisFromTheBlackLagoon]

Raymond Herrera does not get nearly enough credit for all of the unique and amazing drum work he has done. Huge fan

[@BeardManDrummer1999]

Yes, 💯 in my opinion, he's on the same level as Chris Adler.

[@menguongan]

Actually, he is good as Gene Hoglan

[@jamesnagel6264]

I was working a show in Tulsa when Gene Hoglan was playing for Fear Factory and I was about 3 feet away off to the side just watching his feet..... Gene stuttered slightly and came right back in....I turned and looked at my boss and said " He is human. I can sleep at night now." Watching Gene play for an hour at that side of the stage was insane.

[@saltygh0st124]

Demanufacture is such a great album!

[@superpug666]

Did you also like remanifacture?

[@GioOnTheMic]

​@@superpug666 I did!

[@uri413]

That is a great album but I like obsolete more

[@Mark_Swan]

Demanufacture is my favorite album by FF. But I may be partial to that album because that was my introduction to them.

[@ragnosm4556]

Mortal Kombat.... I liked it)))❤

[@menezesadv]

Mr. Raymond Herrera is one of the most underrated drummers in Heavy Metal history…

[@tomdowney37215]

Ray Herrera was one of my biggest influences as a young metal drummer.

[@Kommander696]

Same here and still is. Love it or hate it his drumming on Resurrection is perfection!

[@RastaOlo]

Same.. mid 90's i think

[@amuse311]

I’m not even a drummer (bass player actually) and I agree here. Raymond CRUSHED the drums. Raymond and Gene Hoglan are my all time favs.

[@SvendleBerries]

Always loved Hererras drumming. He beat the shit out of his kit lol

[@theseventhammer]

@@SvendleBerries He did but he never played this song as clean live as Pete or Samus

[@raipier]

I always love Fear Factory's drumming. Sounds like machine guns crossed with galloping horses. You killed it man!!

[@unholymunk]

I remember playing carmageddon with this track ripping in the background.... It cemented my love for metal.

[@VortechBand]

Bet that hurt!

[@matthewsammut2881]

what an intro song to have for the game!

[@joelkelly3225]

Me too. The game CD I had played the demanufacture album all the way through without vocals if you put it in a CD player - it was fucking sick. Wish I still had it.

[@RanterInShades]

Man, Fear Factory have some of the coolest drum parts.

[@giullianomartini]

Raymond Herrera is an underrated beast and a phenomenal drummer. One of the most recognizable drummers on the Extreme/Industrial scene because of their fills and double bass work.

[@DJShroomOfficial]

That is the truth.

[@user-ug8nc9wu3x]

@@giullianomartini honest question though: anything Dino has done ends up sounding the same in that it doesn't really sound any different now after like what 5 drummers since? So who wrote the parts? I ate there cool but being a guitarist and drummer second, to me Fear factory sounds like a drummer playing parts a guitarist wrote at home on his drum machine... which i think is pretty much the gig when play with Dino(You're paid to play, not think or contribute). Anyone know who really wrote that parts? Playing is awesome enough, yes but I'm curious who wrote them.

[@VortechBand]

@@user-ug8nc9wu3x Raymond wrote most (all?) of the drums. He was always about having each song being identifiable just by the drum parts. Post-Raymond, I'm pretty sure most drums are by Dino though. At least the big picture, though Gene added a lot of his own things which you can hear from how different Mechanize sounds drum-wise compared to the other albums.

[@Metalmike777]

"WELCOME!" True mortal kombat fans will know... 🤘

[@grand_vizier_of_chaos]

Absolutely.. *punch in the face* \m/

[@d-fenz]

💯

[@scottywatson3315]

One of my favorite songs from this band I loved Ray Herreras performance when I seen him down at the Mesa amphitheater in Phoenix Arizona. It was Fear factory, Rob Zombie and Monster magnet and what an awesome show. It was way back in 99.

[@davelanciani-dimaensionx]

I bought this album right after watching the original "Mortal Kombat" movie with my son in 1995. Such a classic, and it created a whole new genre of industrial metal.

[@Fire-Toolz]

yes!!! that album turned me on to this! it was the first time i ever heard a low B chord. when scorpion shows up and the intro kicked in i was like whaaaaaaaaaat is thaaaaaat. i immediately tuned my 6 string down to B and had my mom take me to tower records to get the soundtrack. then i got demanufacture for christmas.

[@Playername_Blue]

Watched mortal kombat on laser disc religiously. When I stumbled on these guys I was like where have I heard that before?🤔

[@ryanmac8829]

That album also had Type O, Sister Machine Gun and Gravity Kills on it. Amazing soundtrack.

[@JohnZeroSignal]

​@@Fire-Toolz Awesome bro

[@gargaj]

Same; the moment I heard the bit at 2:49 with those resonant synths taking over... 🤯

[@arsonne]

Always think about Johnny Cage fighting Scorpion in the MK movie when I hear this song. Fear Factory rules so hard!

[@garfieldgetsreal]

Say what you want about those old movies as a big mk fan I love them.

[@heyimgoingtoplaysomegames]

I always think of the first Carmageddon game for PC 1997 😆 Such an amazing soundtrack

[@thomaswall703]

Best line in the movie is when scorpion says “Welcome”

[@thomastrotter6155]

​@@heyimgoingtoplaysomegamesduuuude, I forgot about that game until this moment. Thank you

[@vaevictis_]

I got intruded to FF through test drive 5 from one of their electronic remixes 21st century Christ or something, which I dug, so I was surprised to hear how insanely heavy (and awesome) they actually were. Those video game soundtracks back in the day were excellent!

[@TheDeadmandillon]

You know it's a good day when Samus uploads a spicy Fear Factory playthrough. Just absolute 🤌 perfection! Oooooh yuuuuuuur!

[@Henrydingus01123]

My dog just died

[@grin_oleg]

@@Henrydingus01123 That means it's a Dog Day Sunrise.

[@stanfordkoch1271]

Raymond was such a great drummer and Burtons voice, wow

[@michaelpayne4963]

Ive said this for 20yrs, but Herrera had some of the absolute best footwork in the game, and that still holds true to this day for me

[@FrashGordon]

The 32nd's on the hats combined with that relentless kick pattern make this song such a burner to play, Raymond is a machine.

[@jesuscontreras124]

The playing is incredible, but what impresses me the most is how Raymond composed those mechanical-artificial-digital drum patterns. Grroove is often advertised as the hardest thing in drumming but reproducing or emulating the precision of a machine is very very difficult. Excellent job Samus! Greetings from Mexico

[@nsiepmann]

Yeah, that's a good point - and not just the precision, but the weird patterns that you could program easily but seem so counterintuitive on real drums, like the thing with 16ths on the hi hats and double kick underneath - it's playable (if hard), but just so counter to the normal idiom of metal drumming, so it really drives home that artificial-but-not kind of thing. So cool

[@grin_oleg]

That's really cool drum parties, but I recall Dino said that some drums on that album were programmed first indeed. But there is no doubt that the FF drummer's performance is still awesome!

[@Mr2it3881]

Never realized how weird some of those snare placements are. I'm not musically trained so I'm not sure what time signature it was. Starting 1:07.

[@nsiepmann]

@@Mr2it3881 yeah, that’s another fun detail - the placement isn’t that odd, but most drummers would probably play the offbeat snare hits as ghost notes, so playing them at full volume really emphasises the drum machine vibes!

[@miguelangelmiranda8460]

háblame en español, pariente

[@satevo462]

I worked lights for Fear Factory's drummer's other band at a small club outside Atlanta YEARS ago. The Local in Marietta. I remember going up on stage and being surprised how simple his kit was. Actually I did lights for all the other bands and then their guy took over and I got to watch the show! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@jalucal]

You've just introduced me to Fear Factory... Thanks

[@lucatjoe]

Ray is such an underrated drummer. Great cover Sam!

[@GillRigged]

I really miss you doing cover videos, Sam. Thanks buddy

[@user-ho3rr1it8c]

He still did them lately right? But not on KZbin due to circumstances if I'm correct

[@stewelsby666]

He's on twitch most days

@@stewelsby666 lol. See my badge? I have known Sam for going on eight years now. Just want to state that I miss him doing cover videos is all but thank you 🤘

[@CorpseCollage]

Was literally watching the 1996 Mortal Kombat on Sunday, and now my boi does a cover of Zero Signal 😍 For those not in the know, Zero Signal plays in the background during the Scorpion v Johnny Cage fight.

[@bryangibson1497]

Man, Ray Herara is a beast❤❤. My favorite FF song 🤘🤘

[@revivedfears]

Making this look so easy is honestly sickening. Lol You're amazing man. Even Gene Hoglan gave props to Ray for this one

[@Hhhlll7778]

Gene is super modest , one of the greatest metal drummers of all time for sure

[@Cinerary]

@@Hhhlll7778dark Angel is amazing

[@marcussemfiltro9368]

Sometimes I forget how insane Demanufacture album is. This drum is SICK!

[@Bthelick]

I think the biggest thing we need to thank Fear Factory for, is Strapping Young Lad!

[@ChrisS0782]

Dude, that was F'n spot the F on!!! And when I first heard FF's awesomeness, I was 100% sure it was all done on a computer because it sounded so futuristic! This video just made me recall the moment I was proven wrong, many... MANY years after.

[@Meshuggah27]

Raymond is one of my favorite drummers. Absolute legend.

[@djabthrash]

Raymond is underrated af

[@jasons4950]

Oh my lord the nostalgia. Brings me back to when I discovered Fear Factory via a PC game called Carmageddon (circa 1997). Been a fan of the band ever since!

[@donkendall6685]

I can't hear this song without thinking about Scorpion vs Johny Cage. Well played Samus!

[@Djcimofficial]

That riff and drum combo at 2:18

[@charlenemack7040]

One and a half days ago, and it already has 30,000 views… My my my this is one talented Canadian. 🇨🇦 from 🇺🇸

[@jasonberezowski2869]

This song is trickier than I realized. Sick.

[@vantonsen]

Man, I've spent so many hours playing Carmageddon to this... Great playthrough! :D

[@Maggai]

Such an amazing song, and this whole albums still sounds modern to this day. Raymond was an absolute beast, and so underrated. Wish he still played.

[@AbraCaStabra]

Bro... I've listened to this song thousands of times. This has been one of my favorite songs since I first heard it as a ten year old in 1995. I also used to play OG Xbox with Raymond back in the day lol. Which was a total trip since I had been such a fan.

[@kyrryk4427]

Freakin' excellent!!!!! One of the most underrated metal songs of the 20th Cent.!!!

[@joesshows6793]

Yeah I’m back for another watch. Fear Factory is just so good

[@khaaaaaaaaaannn]

Demanufacture is the album that got me into metal, I'd literally never heard anything heavier than Guns N Roses until then.

[@MandalaOfThe7]

This was the first Fear Factory song I'd ever heard. Thanks Mortal Kombat. Nice Cover!

[@monkeyspank6444]

Raymond Herrera definitely not a clone, you freakin know that drumming , unlike so many . He is the founder of Fear Factory and A big time influence, to hear him talk about Depeche Mode and wanting that sound for his Bass Drums so they could be heard was a great idea .Those 32 notes off the highhat remind me of Clive Burr (Another Life,Run to the Hills,etc) 5:13 5:13 when he was ripping it up with Early Maiden. Herrera loved Video Games so he went on to pursue music in that format. His playing will always be INTENSELY MEMORABLE 👀

[@S133S]

Raymond was a machine! Great drumming Sam!

[@cheez1771]

Demanufacture is a fucking masterpiece.

[@chriswilk1]

As humble and self deprecating as you are, I sometimes forget how good you are. You're the type of people I'd hang out with.

[@66Samus]

Chris thank you so much my friend :)

[@charlenemack7040]

Chris, please let me hang out with you and Samus! He is awesome…isn’t he? Samus has a kind heart…it comes through in all his videos AND Live Streams on KZbin and Twitch! Have a wonderful weekend Chris…💙☮💥⚡🌷🌝🙂😉😎P.S. …. The three of us could have a fart contest! 😂

[@laszlonemeth3703]

[@Online-Entity]

Great cover, Samus! Back in 1996/97 Demanufacture was my go-to album while playing Quake online.

[@AlexInBlood]

Soooo good! Been in love with this song since I was a kid. Most notoriously from Scorpion VS Johnny Cage 🤘

[@JuzTroublez]

[@bobbywagner1113]

Raymond Herrera is such an underrated drummer! Thanks for absolutely crushing this song!

[@nicolosommer5597]

Same!

[@chrismiller2517]

You good sir have just made my day! Fear Factory is my favorite band. Fucking crushed it!

[@djhutchinson]

I first got into Fear Factory in the mid 90's because I heard their songs in a game called "Test Drive 5". Hearing this song again brings back those memories. Great cover!

[@66Samus]

I remember Test Drive!!! hell yes

[@tofubutcher7456]

Raymond Herrera was an absolute beast, at the time when metal drummers were getting more technical with better rudiments, he was focusing on rhythm, speed and precision and bringing the double bass to the front of the mix

[@DarkPassenger]

I've seen Fear Factory so many times. Never a bad show. Well at least back in the late 90's-early 2000's.

[@Lord_Raptor]

I've only seen them live once back in 2004 and they were incredible.

[@Admiral_Potato41]

Can attest that they still killed live well into the 2010s. They were one of the best acts still.

[@Sybex82]

This is indeed very difficult parts to play indeed🤘🏾

[@Lazyboy51]

Even Gene said Zero Signal is a monster to play night in and out. Love the heck out of the drum work Raymond did for this song.

[@Fister_of_Muppets]

Back in 2001, one of the tests I did on new custom speaker enclosures for vehicles was not rap, hip-hop... it was 5 different tracks, and one of them was Fear Factory. If your system has a genuine 5000W and can precisely handle every peak of those bass drum hits, it was a winner. Lesson of this story: Fear Factory kicks ass.

[@erikbeardshear2114]

It's the song that changed my musical tastes forever! You killed it bro

[@jacobrehak2641]

This will always be my favorite fear factory song. I think I can speak for every drummer that reads this when I say it's also one of the most painful songs to play on the drums. You can see the pain in your face all through the video, it's okay you can admit it 😂. Suuuuuper clean cover though!!! Much love

[@sneathfrilledlizard]

Fear Factory - esp. their album Demanufacture - have always been there for me when "times get/got rough" - esp. when I was in high school. They've changed my life for the better and have changed my perspective on industrial metal in an EXTREMELY POSITIVE way, mate! 🤘🙏🔥💯✌️🐲🦘

[@stumpythedwarf8712]

Sam? You are a Beast. Period. I said it once before, anyone that says you can't drum, is delusional.

[@Drewschbaggery]

Hearing this song on the original Mortal Kombat movie soundtrack definitely started me down the path to metal.

[@eddhick]

Love Demanufacture, spot on cover as always ❤ FF kinda got me in to metal from a young age from playing Carmageddon, will never forget it!

[@guyonthecouch136]

Dino got interviewed on Finn McKentys Hardcore MBA. Youre covering them. Crazy. Good music just doesnt die. Amazing job dude. Sounded perfect.
