   archetype is the fifth studio album by american heavy metal band fear factory. it was released on april 20, 2004 through liquid 8. despite the album not being a concept album based around man and machines the music on archetype is more of a return to the traditional fear factory sound and is more comparable to previous albums such as demanufacture and obsolete this change was more well received by fans after the more radio friendly and less extreme sound that was featured on the previous album digimortal disappointed and alienated some of the bands fan base. archetype was also issued in a limited edition digipak with a bonus dvd. depending on where the digipak was obtained, the bonus dvd is either for their "australian tour 2004" and the video for "cyberwaste" or one based around the making of archetype. some, though not all, versions of the bonus digipak also included a gold ticket that gave the owner a chance to meet fear factory live. ==track listing== {{tracklist | all_lyrics = burton c. bell except "school" by kurt cobain | all_music = herrera/wolbers except where noted | total_length = 59:00 | title1 = slave labor | length1 = 3:53 | title2 = cyberwaste | length2 = 3:18 | title3 = act of god | length3 = 5:08 | title4 = drones | length4 = 5:02 | title5 = archetype | length5 = 4:36 | title6 = corporate cloning | length6 = 4:24 | title7 = bite the hand that bleeds | length7 = 4:09 | title8 = undercurrent | length8 = 4:05 | title9 = default judgement | length9 = 5:24 | title10 = bonescraper | length10 = 4:12 | title11 = human shields | length11 = 5:16 | title12 = ascension | length12 = 7:05 | note12 =
