FEAR FACTORY today confirms their first tour
dates for 2012. Set to begin in San Antonio on May 1, the tour’s initial dates
include stops in Dallas, Philadelphia, New York City, Baltimore, and Denver
among others. Joining FEAR FACTORY for the tour is Boston’s
Shadows Fall, Kansas City-based The Browning, Riverside, California’s The
Devastated, and Legacy Of Disorder from New Zealand. The tour will precede the
release of FEAR FACTORY’s new album titled The
Industrialist.
FEAR FACTORY recently announced the addition of
bass player Matt DeVries. The Ohio native previously noted, “I have been asked
to join one of my favorite bands. I have been a fan of FEAR FACTORY since
1992 and I could not be more excited to be part of this incredible band.”
Guitarist Dino Cazares and vocalist Burton C. Bell noted, “we are very excited
to have Matt playing bass for FEAR FACTORY. We feel he is a great
addition to our touring line-up. He has been a friend for a very long time and
he is a great musician who will be a perfect instrument in the FF machine.”
With rehearsals for the tour expected to start soon, the
members of FEAR FACTORY are finishing details on their
forthcoming new album expected for release early summer. Greg Reely has now
completed the album’s mix. All that remains is final artwork and packaging.
Regarding the new material, Cazares and Bell affirm, “this album perfectly
captures the true nature of FEAR FACTORY. The industrial/metal
blend is a strong return to our original concept for FEAR FACTORY."
The Industrialist follows 2010’s critically
acclaimed Mechanize. Blabbermouth said, “this is the album fans
have been waiting for…a fiery and evolved rebirth of the band that changed
metal in the ’90s.” Revolver Magazine called Mechanize, “one of the
best albums of the band’s career. Its combination of new-wave melody,
rapid-fire aggression, and electronic ambiance sounds as fresh today as FEAR
FACTORY did nearly 20 years ago. Call it the soul of their new
machine.” Decibel Magazine noted, “FEAR FACTORY are back and beyond
intact.”
