Demanufacture is the title track of Fear Factory's second studio album, released in 1995 and widely regarded as a landmark of industrial metal. The song and album fused death-metal riffs with mechanical, electronic-tinged rhythms, influencing a wave of metal bands that followed. Short excerpts of the track have since circulated on soundboards as quick hype clips, detached from the full song and reused as punchy openers for edits, montages and compilations. It endures because the riff is instantly recognisable to metal fans and delivers intensity in only a few seconds.
