SO, FEAR FACTORY ARE GETTING BACK TOGETHER

According to the “status” post on Fear Factory’s MySpace, the band will have a “New Album and World Tour in 2009!”
I guess this was inevitable, despite Burton C. Bell’s claims when we interviewed him a few months back that he doesn’t even like metal. Whatwith the Divine Heresy soap opera, the relative failure (commercially) of Bell’s Ascension of the Watchers, the rest of the dudes doing God knows what, and reports of Burton and Dino kissing and making nice at a show in LA a few weeks ago (I can’t find the source, but I remember reading that they chatted), the time seems ripe for an FF reunion.* I’d think there will be plenty of interest too, judging by the fervency of Fear Factory fans who comment on our site.

*After I published this article, Axl pointed out to me that this news does not necessarily mean that Dino is back in the band. Good point.
Another FF album I probably won’t like. After Dinos outing it just didn’t sound the same.
ugh… is it too much to hope that they go back to the “soul of a new machine” formula… yeah, i thought so.
I don’t think Fear Factory can come out with a relevant to today’s audience sound. If anything, bringing Dino back can only hurt them because of the incident with Tommy Vext.
Album schmalbum, people. Fear Factory tour is the big news here.
GHOSTS OF ASIA CRYING OUT!
This came a surprise to me. I thought Dino had eaten his former bandmates.
lol @ Sammy
Nice one!
Raymond and Christian have two side projects at the moment.
- Arkaea (featuring Jon Howard of Threat Signal on vocals. Album due out later in the year through Koch).
- Burn It All (featuring Patrick Lachman on vocals).
Personally, I prefer Arkaea basically because it resembles Fear Factory pretty closely.
Fear Factory reunion? Oh noes! Come on guys, you are too early. The 90s nostalgia won’t start in full until guys like me are in their 30s. Let’s talk in 5 years, when Marilyn Mason is back with Twiggy and that gets them some press, and people remember who Orbital were.

And yes, I do sorta like Fear Factory (I have Demanufacture and Obsolete).
Twiggy is back with Marilyn Manson. However, Manson is in a fast and steady downward spiral and he is also getting fat. He needs to stop while he still has his high school kids fan base.
Dino is a big whiny crybaby so I’d be happy to NOT see him in a new FF lineup. I don’t care if they record or not as long as they tour. One of my favourite live bands EVER.
There’s always BRUJERIA!!!!!
One of the best Metal bands EVER!!!
[...] Posted by Rick I’m surprised no one saw this. SO, FEAR FACTORY ARE GETTING BACK TOGETHER | MetalSucks I can actually confirm that Dino and Burton having been jamming together, that’s all I can confirm [...]
Well this makes the teenager in me happy…
The best concert I ever saw was in a shitty theater-turned-nightclub (Now Flames Central in Calgary) on the digimortal tour they did with Puya and Dry Kill Logic.
The crowd sang Happy Birthday to Dino, Burton grabbed my arm in the mosh pit raising my fist in the air during a song, my buddy got a guitar pick.
But the best part was the 2 other bands running on stage during Edgecrusher screaming the chorus!
Excuse my nostalgia coming off like a giddy Japanese school-girl.
Saw them again on the Transgression tour (in a much shittier nightclub The Warehouse), they had 3 crappy unmemorable bands open for them, but they still kicked just as much ass 6(?) years later!!
Like them or not, they are one of the best live bands out there!
Well said, Fear factory were one of the best bands i’ve ever seen live,
Burtons such a nice guy too
For those saying that the new stuff sucks, what the hell is wrong with you?
sure its not as ‘Heavy’ but theres tons of bands out there that just are,
Blast beat shit, insanely fast double bass pedal, shit quality recordings,
Im pretty sure if all bands were the same, ye’d get bored
what you fail to realise is that they have all worked so hard over the years
just to get to this stage, now there at the point of not trying to please ‘YOU’
but play a little stuff that they like, personally i love there Music, ALL OF IT
well, i cant stand those remix’s
i mean wtf dino, come on
if you dont support these bands, then i doubt there will be many good ones left
just yer same old KILLDEATHMURDER*GUITARSOLOZ*DEATHAGAIN
and metal sucks? what a shit name for a website haha, grow up
Yawn… Stretch… NEXT! Sorry, but they were only good for 2 albums. I’m speaking of Soul… and Demanufacture. So the idea of a new FF album does absolutely nothing for me.
Fear Factory are one of the hardest bands to hit the metal seen. Yah, there new albums like transgr are different but sound alot better than alot of those newer bands. Fear Factory put a Benchmark with Burton C. Bell awsome voice harmonies mixed with brutaltiy (SOUL OF A NEW MACHINE). I was fucking tripping out when I first heard it, That shit is bad ass.
If Dino is back in Fear Factory, I hope they come back with a harder, faster and deadlier album. To shut all you fuckin shit talking unfaithfull panzies, emo posing fagets up.
Fear Factory fuckin rulz. If they have a tour and all you shit talking fagets have the balls to go to any of those gigs. I will fuck you all up in the mosh pit.
actually dino and bell did make up it was in an issue of metal edge the original line up is supposed to be present for the new album
well i like all of there albums i am happy for a new album. the guys said that transgression would have been better if they had more time to work on it. but they had a deadline. it still not a bad album. i think Slipknot is my favorite live band.
I look forward to seeing Fear Factory again. They have been a top favorite band of mine since the 90’s!
