In April 2009, a new lineup was announced with Cazares returning and Gene Hoglan as drummer. Bell and Stroud are both reprising their respective roles, and the band completed a seventh studio album entitled Mechanize. Former members Christian Olde Wolbers and Raymond Herrera (both currently playing in Arkaea) dispute the legitimacy of the new lineup, and a legal battle is underway from both parties. The band has performed at three Ozzfests as well as the inaugural Gigantour and has had singles in the US Mainstream Rock Top 40 and albums in the Billboard Top 40, 100, and 200. The band has sold more than 1 million albums in the US alone.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We are the future
We are the new breed
We are the future
We are immune to life itself
Cold rules are reality
We are immune to life itself
Born, bred, beaten
Born, bred, beaten
We have control of destiny
We have control of what's to be
We have control of destiny
We have control of what's to be
Born, bred, beaten
Born, bred, beaten
New breed, new breed
New breed, new breed
We are immune to life itself
Cold rules are reality
We have control of destiny
We have control of what's to be
Born, bred, beaten
Born, bred, beaten
New breed, new breed
New breed, new breed
New breed, we are the new breed
New breed, we are the future
New breed, we are the new breed
New breed, we are the future

The song "New Breed" by Fear Factory is about a group of people who feel like they don't fit into society and are creating their own future. The repeated chorus of "we are the new breed" reinforces this idea of a new generation rising up to take control of their own destiny. The lyrics also suggest that this group is immune to the struggles and challenges of life, with "cold rules" being their reality. The phrase "born, bred, beaten" is repeated throughout the song, indicating that the new breed has experienced hardship and struggle, but has come out stronger as a result.
At its core, "New Breed" is a call to action for those who feel like they don't fit in with society's norms. It's a reminder that they have the power to control their own destinies and create a new future for themselves. The harsh, industrial sound of the music reinforces this rebellious spirit and adds an intense energy to the song.
