Song information
"Resurrection" is one of singer
Burton C. Bell's favorite Fear Factory songs. It is the ninth and longest track on the 1998
concept albumObsolete. The album version runs 6:35. The song highlights the thoughts of the album's
protagonist, the
dissident Edgecrusher, as he flees the oppressing forces of Securitron. Having witnessed an act of
self-immolation during a protest and the subsequent dispersal of the crowd by armed forces, Edgecrusher flees to a church where he discovers a statue of
Jesus, which he touches, giving him the courage to continue his personal mission against the government.
The Allmusic review of Obsolete said, "The album's biggest surprise however is 'Resurrection,' which is perhaps the most tuneful song Fear Factory have ever done, without compromising their heavy sound."[1]
