Fear Factory Announces New Album and Upcoming Tour
New Album Details
Fans of Fear Factory can look forward to the band’s first album featuring new vocalist Milo Silvestro and drummer Pete Webber. During a recent appearance at Bloodstock Open Air in the U.K., guitarist Dino Cazares revealed that the album has been fully tracked and is set to be mixed by the end of the month. Cazares expressed optimism about the release, stating they aim to have it ready “in time for the summer festivals next year.”
Confirmation of Progress
“Everybody wants to know,” Cazares stated, emphasizing the band’s dedication to completing the album. “The record will be out next year. We’re done tracking it. All that’s left now is to mix the record. We’re obviously on tour right now, so when we can get home later on this month, we’ll start mixing the album.”
Significance of the Upcoming Album
The yet-to-be-titled album marks a significant milestone for Fear Factory, being their first release since 2021’s Aggression Continuum. Cazares has taken an active role in mentoring Silvestro, providing what he describes as “rigorous training” to prepare him for the demands of being in a high-profile band. This training includes everything from live performance techniques to managing media interactions and coping with online criticism.
Finding the Right Fit
Cazares felt confident in his choice of Silvestro as the new frontman from their very first rehearsal. Unlike other candidates who auditioned, Silvestro demonstrated a remarkable ability to perform without needing to consult lyrics, showcasing his impressive range of songs.
Upcoming Tour Celebrating 30 Years of Demanufacture
This fall, Fear Factory will embark on a highly anticipated tour commemorating the 30th anniversary of their iconic 1995 album, Demanufacture. The industrial metal pioneers are set to perform the album in its entirety during select headlining shows, while also delivering an early-era setlist during dates supporting the Cavalera brothers’ performance of Chaos A.D..
