Alongside frontman Burton C Bell, who has remained the only constant throughout Fear Factory’s 20 year lifespan, will be original guitarist Dino Cazares, Death and Strapping Young Lad drummer Glen Holgan, and co SYL bassist Byron Stroud. They are set to play a number of shows including the Sonisphere and Bloodstock festivals in the UK later this year.

Since their origins in the early nineties, Fear Factory have been an influential force in the world of metal, paving the way for newer more technological sounds with their breakneck down tuned guitar riffs, pounding mechanical drumbeats, eerie futuristic keyboard synths and growling/ operatic vocals.

The Early Years

Fear Factory’s first album Soul of a New Machine, was released in 1992 with founding members Burton C Bell and Dino Cazares and founding drummer Raymonnd Herrara. It was a breath of fresh air in alternative metal, and was praised by many metal artists including Sepultura’s Max Cavelera.
