Industrial metal pioneers Fear Factory add to their enduring legacy with the announcement of their next chapter in the form of their landmark 11th full length studio album, Roboticist.
Scheduled to arrive April 9th via Nuclear Blast Records, the release finds the current configuration of the band in founding guitarist Dino Cazares, vocalist Milo Silvestro, drummer Pete Webber and bassist Tony Campos working in lockstep for what looks to be another clinic of industrial metal mastery. Working in close collaboration with producer Damien Rainaud, the album is further expands on the band's decades-deep exploration of the ongoing conflict between man and machine.
To introduce the album, Fear Factory has unleashed the brusiing first single, "Detonizer". Asserting the band's unmistakable combination of precision and sonic power, the single is coupled with a cinematic new music video produced by Doom Inc. / Undaunted Media, directed by Thomas Mignone with visual effects by Gabriel Connor.
Setting the table for what fans can expect from the single, Dino Cazares painted a very vivid picture, "The Countdown to destruction has begun its time to DETONATE THE SYSTEM."
Further elaborating on the narrative of the album as a whole, Cazares added, "Cybernetic Industries has seized control of artificial intelligence, orchestrating humanity’s extinction. The machines have inherited the future.
NO BLOOD. NO FLESH. ALL MACHINE. Welcome to the age of ROBOTICIST.”
The album announcement lands as Fear Factory wrap their Soul Of A New War Machine tour with co-headliners Mushroomhead. Starting this week, Fear Factory rolls right into their Cybernetic Domination Tour with Darkest Hour and Brotality. A currrent list of dates and cities can be found below.
