THE STORY

Fear Factory’s upcoming album, Roboticist, will be released on April 9, 2027, via Nuclear Blast Records. The band have released a new single and video for the song Detonizer. Roboticist will be the band’s first album with Tony Campos, Pete Webber and Milo Silvestro.

Fear Factory release new single Detonizer

Following the release of Roboticist last August, Fear Factory return with a second single from their upcoming album. Detonizer showcases the band’s signature riffs and their blend of clean and harsh vocals. The video continues the science fiction theme that runs throughout the album.

Roboticist imagines a dystopian future in which AI has surpassed humans and driven the human race to extinction. Dino Cazares says: “Cybernetic Industries has taken control of artificial intelligence and is orchestrating humanity’s extinction. The machines have won. No more blood. No more flesh. The Axis of Extinction has begun.”

A new album with Milo Silvestro on vocals

The album was produced by Damien Rainaud, who helped incorporate new forms of electronics while preserving its stylistic foundations.

Silvestro said in an interview that he saw the album as a fusion of different styles and elements from other albums, including Mechanize and The Industrialist. Meanwhile, Dino Cazares said the album would be eclectic and incorporate a wide range of styles.
