Event:	Fear Factory: The Industrial Discipline Tour

"Powershifter", the new video from US metallers Fear Factory, can now be watched at this location.

The video clip is actually a fully fan-filmed labor of love captured in London earlier this year. In fact, for 23-year-old video blogger Myles Dyer, the chance to film the band on and off stage for four shows was a dream come true.

Myles states: "To think that years ago I would be sitting at home watching their DVD's over and over again, dreaming that one day I could see them live! And not only that," he goes on to say on his website, "I got to meet them and... got the go on tour with them... become actual friends with the guys... words will never explain how I feel!"

You can find "Powershifter" on Mechanize, released in February.
