After completing an extensive tour with fellow Industrial Metal act STATIC-X, California stalwarts FEAR FACTORY are showing no signs of slowing down. Led by founder and guitarist Dino Cazares, the group is gearing up for a handful of headlining shows on the West Coast, before teaming up with LACUNA COIL and LIONS AT THE GATE for the October Dawn 2023 tour through the southern states.

From there, FEAR FACTORY heads to Europe and the UK for another 40+ shows. Cazares believes there's no better way to introduce the band's newest members than 'trial by fire' out on the road. Vocalist Milos Silvestro and HAVOK drummer Pete Webber are certainly being put to the test.

The band's latest studio album is the 2021 release Aggression Continuum, with new material expected in 2024. In the meantime, FEAR FACTORY re-released their 2010 album Mechanize, and 2012 album The Industrialist (now dubbed Re-Industrialized) through Nuclear Blast Records.

Each album features bonus material, comes in a variety of vinyl variants, and is also available streaming. Re-Industrialized goes beyond bonus tracks with re-recorded guitars and added live drums by former FEAR FACTORY drummer Mike Heller.

I had the chance to catch up with Dino Cazares to find out more about the tour, reissued albums, and more.
