For over three decades, industrial metal pioneers FEAR FACTORY have explored the friction between man and machine, tracing the rise of artificial intelligence and humanity’s loss of control over its own creations. Today, the band announces the next evolution in their cybernetic journey with their eleventh studio album, Roboticist, arriving April 9, 2027 via Nuclear Blast Records.
Death is no longer the end. The machine no longer needs humanity; it inherits the future.
Alongside the album announcement, FEAR FACTORY ignites a new wave of industrial devastation with their brand-new single, ‘Detonizer.’ Marked by mechanized fury, relentless aggression, and cybernetic assault, the new album showcases the recording debut of the band’s updated lineup: founding guitarist Dino Cazares, vocalist Milo Silvestro, drummer Pete Webber, and bassist Tony Campos.
No switch can stop the ignition, prepare for detonation. Produced by Doom Inc. / Undaunted Media and directed by Thomas Mignone, visual effects by Gabriel Connor, the visual continues the cinematic sci-fi narrative initiated with the album’s title track, ‘Roboticist.’ Watch the official music video for ‘Detonizer‘.
“Cybernetic Industries has seized control of artificial intelligence, orchestrating humanity’s extinction.” states FEAR FACTORY guitarist Dino Cazares of the new album. “The machines have inherited the future. NO BLOOD. NO FLESH. ALL MACHINE. Welcome to the age of ROBOTICIST.”
Regarding the new track ‘Detonizer,’ Cazares adds: “The Countdown to destruction has begun its time to DETONATE THE SYSTEM.”
