Industrial-tinged extreme metal pioneers, FEAR FACTORY are proud to announce their tenth studio album Aggression Continuum, will be released on June 18th via Nuclear Blast just in time for the band’s 30th anniversary. Today, FEAR FACTORY offers fans the first preview of the album with the music video for “Disruptor“. Watch the video, directed by Riivata Visuals, here: https://nblast.de/FF-Disruptor-YT

Dino Cazares comments, “This record is one of my proudest achievements and I’m really excited for it to finally be released. There were a lot of personal struggles, sacrifices, and legal issues involved with this record which almost didn’t see the light of day, but through passion determination, lots of hard work and not giving up the fight, it’s finally ready for the world to hear. I felt that I needed to prove myself once again as I always try and make each record better than the last. Listen, and understand! This album is pissed! It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear and it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are hooked. You must fight to survive in the Aggression Continuum.”

Aggression Continuum will be available in various formats that you can preorder here:  www.fearfactory.com

Pre-save the album on Spotify, Apple Music, and Deezer here: nblast.de/FearFactory-AC

Aggression Continuum features guitarist, songwriter, and co-founder Dino Cazares; drummer Mike Heller; and former vocalist, lyricist, and co-founder Burton C. Bell. It was produced and engineered by Damien Rainaud (DRAGONFORCE, ONCE HUMAN), with keyboards by Igor Khoroshev (ex-YES), and programming on two songs from longtime collaborator Rhys Fulber (FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY).  Aggression Continuum was mixed by A-list rock and metal producer Andy Sneap (MEGADETH, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, TRIVIUM), who also mixed the album’s critically-acclaimed predecessor, Genexus. The artwork for the album was created by Francesco Artusato. 

Below is the Aggression Continuum tracklisting:
1.            Recode
2.            Disruptor
3.            Aggression Continuum
4.            Purity
5.            Fuel Injected Suicide Machine
6.            Collapse
7.            Manufactured Hope
8.            Cognitive Dissonance
9.            Monolith
10.          End Of Line

FEAR FACTORY records are cinematic in scope; sonic landscapes, echoing the dystopian post-apocalyptic futures found in classic sci-fi literature and films, from Ray Bradbury to Blade Runner. Aggression Continuum, the tenth studio album, is the culmination of three decades of unforgettable songs, performances, and forward-thinking storytelling concepts, while simultaneously rebooting FEAR FACTORY onto a brilliant and excitingly unpredictable new path. Like the liquid metal T-1000 in the Terminator franchise or the Academy-Award winning reboot of Mad Max, Aggression Continuum is a turning point where what “was” transforms into what will be. It’s FEAR FACTORY’s own Fury Road.

KAOSIS Feat. FEAR FACTORY’s Dino Cazares Release New Single “Hitech – Lowlife”

Kaosis

Spawned out of the wastelands of dubstep and industrial metal, this hyper-aggressive collaboration between DINO CAZARES (Fear Factory) and KAOSIS is set to unapologetically divide the global metal audience. Love them or hate them, Kaosis have arrived.

KAOSIS recently signed a deal with ATYPEEK MUSIC in France. Released on the 15/04/19, the single “Hitech – Lowlife” conjures up images of James Cameron Terminators battling in a war-torn futuristic soundscape but the inspiration for the track is far more human. The collaboration between CAZARES and KAOSIS was fluid and was completed over several file sharing sessions. «DINO was sent the basic drum progressions and a week later we had these heavier than god guitar tracks. The collaborator’s vision for Hitech – Lowlife was intuitively synergetic» – VIVIVI (Guitar/ Synth).

Watch the video here:

The accompanying music video was directed by XEN and features CAZARES appearing as a hologram against the backdrop of an 80s sci-fi throwback theme. Ending with an unexpected plot twist, the narrative of the music video features an isolated person seeking violent refuge in a virtual reality of torture, violence and rape.

«I think most people will take this video the wrong way. There are positive questions being raised in the narrative». – XEN (vocals)

«Our sound is about breaking down barriers; not re-enforcing stale stereotypes. Atypeek 100% supports our bold new vision for metal and that means a lot to us and our fans» – DVOID (Drums/ Percussion)

DINO CAZARES (FEAR FACTORY) said:
«The album sounds amazing!»

XEN (KAOSIS VOCAL) said:
«This song is about our fans. Our kids are the next gen of metalheads. Heavy riddim, neuro-funk and djent are sonically very similar. For our fans, there is no distinction»

KAOSIS are touring NEW ZEALAND and AUSTRALIA from May through July and will be heading to EUROPE in August/ September.

Play fearlessly.”
