With the reveal of their new vocalist expected in the next few weeks, industrial metal outfit Fear Factory have announced that they have re-signed with Nuclear Blast. The group had been free agents for a period after completing their obligations with their latest studio album, “Aggression Continuum” and it’s subsequent remix effort, “Recoded“.
As was widely publicized at the time, that studio album marked the band’s final record with longtime frontman Burton C. Bell, who exited amid a bitter feud with guitarist Dino Cazares.
Speaking of this new renewed arrangement, Cazares commented:
“This is a new year and a new chapter for Fear Factory. We are off to a great start because we have re-signed with Nuclear Blast Records and our A&R legend Monte Conner, who originally signed the band in 1992.
It is a great feeling to be with a label that gets us and who has always had our backs, especially when we needed them the most. Prepare for the future of Fear Factory.”
Conner chimed in on the signing and the band’s forthcoming new album:
“Working with Fear Factory right from the start of their amazing career has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my own career. I was thrilled to be reunited with them when I signed Fear Factory to Nuclear Blast in 2013, and to be able to continue that journey once again for round #3 feels incredibly satisfying.
I have believed in Dino Cazares from day one, and I know he is going to deliver a killer new album with all the trademarks that have made and still make Fear Factory one of the most pioneering and unique sounding metal bands of all time.”
