Hatefiles is a compilation album by American
heavy metal band
Fear Factory, released by
Roadrunner Records on April 8, 2003. It contains rare, unreleased and remixed tracks. The album is notable as it contains "Terminate", the last song to be recorded with original guitarist
Dino Cazares until his return to the band in 2009. Graphic designer
Dave McKean's artwork is also used.

Track 17 was available on the 7" vinyl-only The Gabber Mixes EP. Tracks 9 and 10 are early versions of the tracks which would later appear on Demanufacture as mixed by
Colin Richardson, the album's producer. The final album mix is credited to
Greg Reely. Track 11 is the same as the version that appeared on the limited edition of Obsolete, but mostly features only
