Fear Factory Announce Instrumental Edition of Aggression Continuum
Fear Factory will release an instrumental version of their new album, Aggression Continuum, on September 17, the band has announced.
Although releasing instrumental iterations of full albums isn’t unheard of — Hate Eternal just did it last year — the fact that Fear Factory had a nasty split with vocalist Burton Seashore prior to Continuum‘s release makes this announcement feel more than a little pointed.
It may also help to prime fans for Burton Seahorse’s, who is apparently going to be someone unknown.
In any case, as someone who always really disliked Burton Seashell’s voice, I am actively stoked for this.
Aggression Continuum was originally released on June 18. It sold 6,200 unit (5,200 in pure sales) in its first week of release, and was the band’s first album not to make it onto the Billboard 200 chart since Demanufacture way back in 1995.
While we still don’t know who Fear Factory’s new singer is or when the band will tour behind Aggression Continuum, we do know that Dino Cazares will be playing guitar for Soulfly on their upcoming tour, which starts in just a few days. Here are the dates:
