THE DROP
Fear Factory have released "Roboticist" via Nuclear Blast — the first recorded Fear Factory music with vocalist Milo Silvestro and drummer Pete Webber §. It went live at 2:14am EST on August 29, the exact moment Skynet goes self-aware in the "Terminator" films ‡.
WHAT TO KNOW
- First new studio material since Burton C. Bell's disputed 2020 exit; Dino Cazares is the last classic-era man standing ‡§
- Damien Rainaud produced, engineered, mixed and mastered it; Vicente Cordero directed the video ‡§
- An instrumental version surfaced back in 2023 as a guitar plugin demo — Cazares says the old ending is now the song's middle ‡§
- Album eleven follows, with Rhys Fulber on keys. No title, no date §
THE TAKE
"Aggression Continuum" was largely tracked in 2017 and buried under name lawsuits, so this is effectively the first fresh Fear Factory in a decade §. Cazares says Silvestro "definitely comes into his own, not just a replacement of the last singer" § — the fact he felt the need to say it tells you exactly what the comment sections will fight about.
