Fear Factory - Sign With Nuclear Blast, New Album In 2015
It's time for a new Fear Factory album folks! The Los Angeles industrial metallers have signed a deal for North America and Europe with Nuclear Blast Entertainment and are currently working on material for their Nuclear Blast debut. The as-of-yet-untitled album will be co-produced by long-time collaborator Rhys Fulber, along with Cazares and Bell. A winter 2015 release is expected. Let the anticipation begin...
Comments guitarist Dino Cazares: "Evolution and change are key elements in the non-stop growth of Fear Factory. With that said, I am proud to be back working alongside the first man to believe in what we were doing back in 1990. He took a chance and signed us, and the rest is history. Monte Conner, once the main A&R man at Roadrunner Records, has now once again come back into the Fear Factory family with his new home - Nuclear Blast Entertainment. We can't wait to deliver an epic new album to kick off this new era."
Adds Monte Conner: "Fear Factory are truly one of the groundbreaking metal bands of our time. On their 1992 debut Soul Of A New Machine, Burton C. Bell introduced the world to the alternating heavy and melodic dual vocal approach that would go on to become a staple in metal to this very day. The following year, they were the first metal band to enter the industrial/dance remix world with the pioneering Fear Is The Mindkiller EP. And look at the countless metal bands who have since imitated the unique machine gun-style rhythm section, created when Dino Cazares' staccato riffs locked in perfectly with the syncopated kick drums. I am excited to be reunited with this legendary band, and I am certain their Nuclear Blast Entertainment debut will be another Fear Factory classic."
Fear Factory's latest album, The Industrialist, came out two years ago. What do you expect from the new record?

If only they could be as good as they were on Demanufacture. I think it's a shame that this album is not in the Top 200 albums list.

Written by Pimpelmee on 13.09.2014 at 14:34 Agree with the Top 200 thing, as Demanufacture is one of my all-time favourite albums. However I think impossible they are able to reach this level again, it's one of these once-in-a-lifetime albums, also, whatever they release it won't be so groundbreaking as Demanufacture was. Expecting a new good album though. They've never really dissapointed me.

Written by [user id=4365] on 13.09.2014 at 13:12 Are you talking about the band itself now being made of Bell and Cazares only (what is somehow a shame after Archetype and Mechanize) or about their latest albums ? Except for their remixes that I don"t really like (and let's forget about that "best of" shit  ) I love all their albums but Transgression (gosh that U2 cover still makes me have nightmares sometimes )Anyway I love the band from their early years up till now so I'm always happy to hear about them tho I've read that their latest performance on stage were kinda shitty

While I thought Archetype and Mechanize were good albums, Transgression and The Industrialist were less so for me. I suppose you could even go further back and say Digimortal was not a good album after the good Obsolete, though I do happen to quite like Digimortal.

Written by [user id=4365] on 13.09.2014 at 13:12 It's almost like they've become consistent at releasing something good and then following it up with something... not so good. Mechanize wasn't exactly album of the year contender for me but it was still a solid album. Transgression, not so much. It's pretty much a guarantee I'll like this album based on that pattern.

Written by [user id=4365] on 15.09.2014 at 15:33 Well like I said, I love all of their albums except for Transgression which ended its life into my trashcan when Archetype came out I like The Industrialist a lot even tho the last track is a shameless filler... Come on 9 minutes of noise ? Yet I wish the band became a BAND again. If I'm not wrong in The Industrialist only Bell and Cazares are band members... I don't understand why after their latest albums... Anyway... Wait and see.

Written by Troy Killjoy on 15.09.2014 at 15:35 MECHANIZE is awesome and its last track, Final Exit, is up to FF's reputation ! They truly rock at atmospheric/sad songs ! I missed that tho in The Industrialist...
