Always good to hear. Will be nice if they move their music forward a bit but another album is usually a good listen. Although if they stick to the trend it'll be crap seeing as Mechanize was a good album.

I'll be happy so long as it's not Transgression 2.0.

Can't Wait.

Well I don't expect much of it. Mechanize wasn't bad, but not really interesting in the end...

That was a different band dude, Dino Cazares didn't take part of it.

Transgression is what get when you replace a guitarist with a bass player
Mechanize, in the other hand, got the Metal Storm award for best industrial album

I love Mechanize o.o

Archetype was recorded with the same line-up than Transgression, and is a very good album. So, that is not a valid argument

Don't forget about Digimortal. That CD had Dino on it, and it still didn't compare to their previous releases. It rather sucked imo. Archetype blew Digimortal out of the water. Transgression didn't have the same passion behind it as Archetype did, plus it was massively repetitive. Mechanize was definitely bad ass and a relief, and I was surprised at its quality. Can't wait for the next one.

Many of us know since many weeks, that Fear Factory is working on new album

YEAH ! Been following FF from Demanufacture (tho I don't like their remixed albums) and I love Mechanize ! Transgression was really a disappointment to me so that when I bought Mechanize I actually destroyed my copy of Transgression (only to keep all I love in FF !)

Let's hope next album shows Dino's talent again ! By the way someone here can confirm that latest gigs were not so good ?

Good point, and I love Archetype. Mechanize is a very strong album as well. So... hope they keep the ball rolling.

I hope this isn't just a compilation of riffs that didn't make it to Mechanize.

I'll be happy not to get an update that it is on the works.

Beyond Mechanicz ?

Well, Somebody's balls r gonna bleed. Gene hoglan with 2 major albums in 2012??? I'm owned.

Nice to see Fear Factory producing a new album relatively soon after 'Mechanize'.

As long as it's the usual ''heavy enough to shatter steel'' treatment I'll be happy.

Well... if you liked Archetype. To me that album was their first step away from industrial metal, although is not as bad as Transgression.
