Artist: FEAR FACTORY
Album: DIGIMORTAL (CD)

Release date: 2001
Media type: CD

Digimortal is Fear Factory's fourth studio album, released on April 24, 2001 by Roadrunner Records. It is considered a concept album and a sequel to Obsolete, their previous album (which was itself a continuation to Demanufacture) and the final part of a trilogy.

This was the band's last album before officially breaking up in March, 2002. Frontman Burton C. Bell had decided to quit after putting out this album, but the band reformed later in the same year to put out their next album Archetype in 2004. Digimortal was the last to feature founding guitarist/songwriter Dino Cazares for 7 years until he came back.

The concept is about how man and machine have merged into one. The surviving humans and the machines realize they have to depend on each other if they are going to continue on. The title of the album is actually short for "Digital Mortality".

The popular song off of this album, Linchpin, was originally titled "Lynchpin" and the track listing was once different which is featured on The Best of Fear Factory. B-Real, of the rap group Cypress Hill, is featured as a guest vocalist on "Back The Fuck Up", contributing elements of hardcore hip hop. It is the only song on the album that is not written by the band.

A portion of "Invisible Wounds (Dark Bodies)", was featured during the credits of Resident Evil as well as a mix on the Resident Evil (soundtrack). All tracks by Fear Factory.
