FEAR FACTORY will be dropping a new single later this year and a planned full-length album is slated to arrive in 2024
Speaking with Headbangers News, FEAR FACTORY guitarist Dino Cazares was asked when fans can expect to hear some new music from the band featuring new singer Milo Silvestro. He responded in part (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “That will not be until — a full album not till next year. But this year we’re just trying to get a single out… You’re gonna have to be patient. Right now we’re doing a lot of touring. We’re getting asked to do a lot of tours.”
An early instrumental version of a new FEAR FACTORY song called “Roboticist” was made available in March to promote Toneforge Disruptor, a virtual guitar rig plugin and standalone app that simplifies guitar tone and provides all the necessary tools for guitarists, mixers, and producers to create detailed metal tones.
Developed in collaboration with Cazares, it is the first virtual rig to offer DI Match Technology, String/Tuning Mode calibrations, and AI-matched Dino Cazares tones using a Neural Network algorithm. The plugin also includes an Autonomous Dynamic System, a built-In Dynamic EQ, three Amp Channels, a redesigned Cab Room, and a complete suite of effects pedals.
Cazares told BLABBERMOUTH.NET about “Roboticist”, which was mixed by longtime FEAR FACTORY collaborator Damien Rainaud: “Initially it was just going to be a instrumental for the plugin, but it came out so good that I decided to make it a song for the new album. Maybe the album will be called the ‘Roboticist’. It fits so well with our concept.”
The band’s next album will mark the band’s first with vocalist Silvestro, who joined FEAR FACTORY as the replacement for original singer Burton C. Bell.
FEAR FACTORY are set to embark on a European tour this fall. The 44-date run sees the band touring European soil for the first time since 2016. Joining them in the support roles for the trek are BUTCHER BABIES and Ukrainian band IGNEA.
Tickets for all dates are on sale at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, May 24 at FearFactory.com.
FEAR FACTORY just wrapped their “Rise Of The Machine” U.S. with STATIC-X which marked the band’s first run of concerts with Silvestro and Webber.
Silvestro was recruited to FEAR FACTORY as the replacement for original singer Burton C. Bell.
