Back in 2001, Digimortal imagined a future where humans and machines merge to survive. Over 2 decades later, Fear Factory’s industrial-meets-nu metal record feels less like sci-fi and more like the blueprint.

In a world of AI, deepfakes and digital immortality, the album's themes of control, technological takeover and existential dread hit closer than ever.

In this episode, Marc Lajeunesse and Safa Hachi dive into Digitmortal’s cybernetic vision, connecting its dystopian riffs to Black Mirror, surveillance capitalism, and the real-world cost of technological obsession.

From “My Own Summer” to “Change (In the House of Flies),” we explore how Deftones helped turn nu metal into a lifestyle.
