In 2010, Channel Zero made a widely noted comeback. At the request of fans, they played six reunion concerts in Brussels which quickly sold-out. They also released a new single. They are also scheduled to play at Graspop Metal Meeting (Dessel). In January 2010, Channel Zero features a slightly different line-up: Mikey Doling (ex-Soulfly, ex-SNOT) replaces Xavier Carion on lead guitar, since the latter suffers from ear damage.

Channel Zero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That drives a wheel
A wheel that burns in the flesh
Like flesh on hot steel
I want to make you suffer, I want to make you feel
I want to make you feel so bad
You'd even kill yourself to heal
Now things have changed nothing remains the same
Once you were the proud, the gift, the son
Of your father's game. I want to make you listen
To the words I found to hold your throat
And see you scream without a sound.
No more
Your hands are shakin', I'll make you dance
Further on now, kiss the devil's romance
Hate me, love me, I hate you, love?
I'll use my hands and transform you
Into pieces I will tear you
Never had the will to bring you down
But now that I'm strong as you
I'd like to beat you to the ground
I'm feeling better
And wish that you could see
How I'm doing the same old things you did to me

Your mind's an engine
Your thought process operates like an engine
That drives a wheel
Which drives actions based on those thoughts
A wheel that burns in the flesh
These actions may cause physical or emotional pain
Like flesh on hot steel
With the intensity of a scorching hot metal
I want to make you suffer, I want to make you feel
The artist desires to inflict pain and emotional distress
I want to make you feel so bad
To the point of desperation and self-harm
You'd even kill yourself to heal
The pain is so unbearable, death seems like a viable solution
No more
The situation has come to an end
Now things have changed nothing remains the same
A shift in power dynamics and overall situation
Once you were the proud, the gift, the son
The subject of the artist's harm was at one point celebrated
Of your father's game.
The patriarchal structure may have played a role in the harm done
I want to make you listen
The artist desires for the subject to hear and comprehend their message
To the words I found to hold your throat
The words spoken will be harsh and suffocating
And see you scream without a sound.
The agony caused will be so intense, the subject will be voiceless
Your hands are shakin', I'll make you dance
Physical symptoms of fear will not deter the singer from causing harm
Further on now, kiss the devil's romance
The act of causing harm is equated to a romantic relationship with evil
Hate me, love me, I hate you, love?
The relationship between speaker and subject is unstable and rooted in negative emotions
I'll use my hands and transform you
The singer will use physical force to change the subject
Into pieces I will tear you
The singer will destroy the subject piece by piece
Never had the will to bring you down
The artist previously did not have the power or desire to harm
But now that I'm strong as you
A change in power dynamics has occurred
I'd like to beat you to the ground
The artist desires to inflict physical pain and defeat
I'm feeling better
The act of causing harm has brought the singer satisfaction
And wish that you could see
The artist desires for the subject to witness their newfound power
How I'm doing the same old things you did to me
The singer is enacting revenge on the subject for past harm done to them
