Gold-certified industrial metal outfit Fear Factory kicked off their European/UK headlining run with Crystal Lake, Hate and The Nocturnal Affair last night (August 29th) in Poznan, Poland. Fear Factory, who also just debuted their first new single with vocalist Milo Silvestro, “Roboticist“, wasted no time in inserting that track into their setlist.
Arriving this past Friday night as the first single from the band’s upcoming eleventh studio album, the group chose to open their set with that track, marking its first-ever live performance. Fan-filmed footage of it has since been shared below.
Additionally, it would appear that the band dug a bit deeper into their catalog for the setlist for this just-launched trek. Per fans in attendance, “No One” received its first live performance since 2001, and “Arise Above Oppression” made its way back to the stage for the first time since 2005. Last night’s setlist ran as follows:
“Roboticist” (live debut)
“Industrial Discipline“
“Powershifter“
“Acres Of Skin“
“Shock“
“Edgecrusher“
“Linchpin“
“No One” (first time since 2001)
“Invisible Wounds (Dark Bodies)“
“Soul Hacker“
“Martyr“
“Arise Above Oppression” (first time since 2005)
“Archetype“
“Demanufacture“
“Zero Signal“
“Replica“
“Resurrection“
