Fear Factory To Release “The Industrialist” In June, Announce More Dates For May U.S. Tour

Fear Factory‘s new album “The Industrialist” has been given a June 05th North American release date through Candlelight Records. The album will arrive in both standard and deluxe editions and was produced by the band and Rhys Fulber (Front Line Assembly, etc.).

Greg Reely (Skinny Puppy, Machine Head) handled the mixing duties, while additional tracking for the effort was overseen by Logan Mader (Gojira, Divine Heresy).

According to band frontman Burton C. Bell:

“The album is a futuristic tale of an automaton, striving to survive by fighting for its existence within a desperate world. The lyrics tell the story while the music takes our industrial roots and blends them more perfectly than ever with our metal edge. And all without losing the sound that makes Fear Factory a machine of sonic devastation. Fear Factory fans of any era will not be disappointed.”

      I only have the smallest of hopes reserved for this turning out well… yes, I am a pessimist. I have enjoyed some Fear Factory in the past, but it seems they have run out of interesting ideas and just keep re-hashing themselves…

    • Not to be a dick, but… isn’t that kinda the same concept behind all of Fear Factory’s records? Fuck it, I don’t care, if that shit slams like Mechanize did, I’ll be happy. He could be singing about the Special Olympics for all I care.
