FEAR FACTORY Interviewed At U.K.'s DOWNLOAD Festival (Video)

June 8, 2012

Total Rock conducted an interview with guitarist Dino Cazares and vocalist Burton C. Bell of Los Angeles cyber metallers FEAR FACTORY earlier today (Friday, June 8) at the Download festival at Donington Park in Leicestershire, United Kingdom. You can now watch the chat below.

FEAR FACTORY's new album, "The Industrialist", was released in North America on June 5 via Candlelight Records. The CD is a conceptual record based around a story written by Burton C. Bell. Lyrics to the album's ten songs divulge the narrative as discussed recently by Bell with Decibel magazine. The artwork was created by American designer Anthony Clarkson with additional direction from the band. The album is available on three formats — standard CD, a limited edition deluxe digi-book (featuring two additional songs),and 180-gram double vinyl.

"The Industrialist" again pairs FEAR FACTORY with producer Rhys Fulber. Mixed by Greg Reely (PARADISE LOST, SKINNY PUPPY, MACHINE HEAD),with additional tracking by Logan Mader (GOJIRA, DIVINE HERESY),the album is the second written by Bell and guitarist Dino Cazares since reuniting in 2009 after a seven-year split.
