Архив новостей | Русская версия
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".

"Cybernetic Industries has seized control of artificial intelligence, orchestrating humanity's extinction." states 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. It's time to detonate the system."

Releasing the record at this pivotal moment directly extends FEAR FACTORY's legacy of detailed, prophetic sci-fi concepts, carrying their narrative forward into a world where humanity's creations have officially become its successors.
A date becomes a warning. A warning becomes a countdown. A countdown becomes reality.
The "Roboticist" release coincided with the launch of FEAR FACTORY's "Cybernetic Domination" European tour with CRYSTAL LAKE, HATE and THE NOCTURNAL AFFAIR, which kicked off on August 29 in Poznan, Poland and concluded on October 10 in London, United Kingdom.
FEAR FACTORY recently announced a November 2026 U.S. tour with support from DARKEST HOUR and BROTALITY. The "Cybernetic Domination" trek will kick off immediately after FEAR FACTORY's co-headlining tour with Cleveland, Ohio-based masked metal masters MUSHROOMHEAD.
