"Mechanize", the forthcoming album from FEAR FACTORY — the newly revamped band featuring original FF members Dino Cazares (guitar) and Burton C. Bell (vocals) alongside bassist Byron Stroud and legendary drummer Gene Hoglan  — will be released early February 2010.
Hot on the heels of what’s sure to be a blistering live BIG DAY OUT set.

In the early ‘90s, Los Angeles future-thinkers FEAR FACTORY were reinventing both death metal and industrial rock with an arsenal of sonic styles. After releasing four critically acclaimed albums and two industrial remix EPs, selling over a million albums in the process and following a gruelling tour with Machine Head in 2002, the creative core of FEAR FACTORY imploded due to personal differences and sheer over-exertion.

Then in April 2008, a full six years after they had last spoken, Bell, then touring with Ministry, ran into Cazares at the band’s Los Angeles show and reopened the lines of communication. Not long thereafter Bell and Cazares were jamming again.  With bassist Byron Stroud and drummer Gene Hoglan, FEAR FACTORY was back and ready for action!

The result of their union, Mechanize, is a full-fisted blast of passion and innovation that sounds like the missing link between’s 1995’s caustic, groundbreaking Demanufacture and 1998’s more texturally nuanced Obsolete.   And for the first time in years, the band’s industrial roots glimmer through its street-lethal metal, thanks in part to the co-production efforts and keyboard programming of Rhys Fulber, who worked on FEAR FACTORY’S industrial remix albums Fear is the Mindkiller and Remanufacture.


“We’ve all changed a bit as people over the years,” Bell says. “We’ve developed patience and we’ve had some humbling experiences.  And when those things happen you realize that the types of battles we had in the past are just a waste of time.  And time is precious.”
