The Industrialist is the eighth studio album by American industrial metal band Fear Factory, released on June 5, 2012.

"[6] According to Cazares, the title was taken from a documentary the band saw about the people who developed "the engines for war machines", and God Eater was a name Bell saw on a toybox while traveling.

No live drummer was used on the album, with the band instead opting for programmed drums with help from John Sankey of Devolved, who was also credited.

On June 23, 2023, nearly 11 years after the release of "The Industrialist", the album would be re-released as "Re-Industrialized" with live drums, done by then-drummer, Mike Heller, a new mix done by Greg Reely, new guitar passages by Dino Cazares and featuring five bonus tracks, including three covers: "Landfill" by Pitchshifter, "Saturation" by Sonic Violence, and "Passing Complexion" Big Black.

The album has received generally positive reviews from music critics and band fans.
