Burton C. Bell, the iconic voice that defined futuristic anxiety, existential desperation, and steadfast resistance across the industrial metal world, is set to captivate Australian audiences this June 2025 with a special run of intimate shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Newcastle.

Fresh off his induction into the prestigious Metal Hall of Fame, Burton continues to solidify his legacy as a trailblazer of industrial metal. Renowned for his groundbreaking role in Fear Factory, the extreme music pioneer, multimedia talent, and iconoclastic provocateur resurrects his legacy and forward-thinking destiny, remade in a career-spanning incarnation as a singular solo artist.

His work continually explores themes of dystopian angst, identity, technological downfall, and resilience. ‘Anti-Droid’, Burton C. Bell’s debut solo single, arrives with a potent message. “I severed the machine that no longer served me,” he screams in the moody, synth-heavy, sci-fi metal missive. It’s a defiant statement delivered with a confident bombast. Burton C. Bell is back on the offensive. 

Bell’s discography includes multiple live and recorded collaborations with Black Sabbath icon Geezer Butler and Journey’s Deen Castronovo (as GZR); industrial maverick Al Jourgensen and Ministry; and guest vocal appearances with Pitchshifter, Conflict, Soil, Static-X, Soulfly, and Delain, among others. He’s the vocalist of Ascension Of The Watchers and City Of Fire and, of course, the co-creator of Fear Factory and the only musician to appear on every Fear Factory release from 1992 through 2024. 

Burton C. Bell’s Australian shows promise to be an unmissable experience, featuring heavy, groovy, dark, and moody tracks, alongside rare live renditions of deep cuts from his vast discography
