The pioneers of industrial-tinged extreme metal,FEAR FACTORY, have signed a deal for North America & Europe with Nuclear Blast Entertainment.
Formed in Los Angeles, California in 1989,FEAR FACTORYchanged the world of metal and have become a huge influence on the genre ever since their inception.
The band's unique sound helped bridge the gap betweendeath metal, grindcore, thrash, and industrial on landmark releases likeSoul Of A New Machine,
Demanufacture, and the gold-selling release,Obsolete.
"Evolution and change are key elements in the non-stop growth of FEAR FACTORY,"comments guitaristDino Cazares.
"With that said, I am proud to be back working alongside the first man to believe in what we were doing back in 1990. He took a chance
and signed us, and the rest is history. Monte Conner, once the main A&R man at Roadrunner Records, has now once again come back into
the FEAR FACTORY family with his new home - Nuclear Blast Entertainment.We can't wait to deliver an epic new album to kick off this new era."
"FEAR FACTORY are truly one of the groundbreaking metal bands of our time,"addsConner."On their 1992 debut "Soul Of A New Machine", Burton C. Bell introduced
the world to the alternating heavy and melodic dual vocal approach that would go on to become a staple in metal to this very day. The following year, they were the first
metal band to enter the industrial/dance remix world with the pioneering "Fear Is The Mindkiller" EP. And look at the countless metal bands who have since imitated the
unique machine gun-style rhythm section, created when Dino Cazares' staccato riffs locked in perfectly with the syncopated kick drums. I am excited to be reunited with
this legendary band, and I am certain their Nuclear Blast Entertainment debut will be another FEAR FACTORY classic."
FEAR FACTORYare currently working on material for their Nuclear Blast debut. The as-of-yet-untitled album will be co-produced by long-time
collaboratorRhys Fulber,along withCazaresandBell. A Winter 2015 release is expected.
