Fear Factory have announced a new album titled Roboticist, due out April 9th via Nuclear Blast Records. Ahead of its release, the band has unveiled the single and music video “Detonizer.”
“Detonizer” combines djent with a modern rock sensibility for the choruses alongside an AI-driven music video drawing inspiration from Terminator.
Band leader and guitarist Dino Cazares said of the new single, “The Countdown to destruction has begun its time to DETONATE THE SYSTEM.”
Roboticist is the first album from Fear Factory to feature the new lineup of Dino Cazares on guitars, Tony Campos on bass, and new members Milo Silvestro on vocals, Damien Rainaud on keyboards, and Pete Webber on drums. It is also the first album in the band’s near-40-year career to not feature lead singer Burton C. Bell, who left the band in 2020.
Cazares said of the album, “Cybernetic Industries has seized control of artificial intelligence, orchestrating humanity’s extinction. The machines have inherited the future. NO BLOOD. NO FLESH. ALL MACHINE. Welcome to the age of ROBOTICIST.”
Roboticist is available for pre-order in various formats, including a number of different limited color vinyl editions.
Fear Factory are currently finishing their “Soul of a New War Machine” co-headlining tour with Mushroomhead in the US before starting their “Cybernetic Domination” US tour with Darkest Hour and Brotality immediately after. Get tickets here.
