FEAR FACTORY CURRENTLY IN THE STUDIO - May 9, 2005
After the success of FEAR FACTORY's latest release, ARCHETYPE, which has sold
over 122,000 copies within its year of release, the world has no choice but to
eagerly anticipate the next FEAR FACTORY creation. Fear not, the wait won't be
long. FEAR FACTORY are already working on their next release entitled
Transgression tentatively due out August 23, 2005 on Liquid 8's Calvin/Trillion
Records. Trillion is the new imprint from liquid 8 Records and Entertainment.
Founder and CEO, Mike Catain has created Trillion as a home for Fear Factory and
new bands seeking a creative haven grounded in growth.
FEAR FACTORY will enter Track Record Studios in North Hollywood, California on
May 5 joined by Toby Wright (Alice In Chains, Korn, Metallica) who will produce
along side with Fear Factory this highly anticipated musical offering next, "We
are all very, very excited about the collaboration with Toby," says singer
Burton C. Bell. In addition to Toby Wright there will be a list of all stars
collaborating on Transgression such as bass player, Billy Gold of Faith No More
fame. Burton explains, "Billy brings a different vibe to the music the way his
bass lines move around the beat and drive the songs with a unique element."
Billy will contribute to two songs; "Echo Of My Scream" and "Super Nova." Other
working titles for Transgression are:
- Transgression
- Supernova
- New Promise (co-written with Mark Morton of Lamb of God)
- Empire
- 540,000 Degrees Fahrenheit
- Contagion (which original¹s version was recorded for Rainbow 6)
It's really cool to be writing a new record. We are all feeling very positive
and it's moving quickly since we have overcome some major obstacles. Now we can
work on a fucking great album. 2005 is the year of Transgression for FEAR
FACTORY!
Now are you even more anxious for the release? Well you can get a preview of
what¹s to come of Transgression when you play the new game, RAINBOW SIX
LOCKDOWN, which features a track from Transgression entitled, Lockdown, as well
as scores created by the band throughout the menus. Apart from contributing
music to RAINBOW SIX LOCKDOWN, drummer Raymond Herrera¹s production company
3volution Productions, has produced the soundtrack to the Tom Clancy RAINBOW SIX
LOCKDOWN game, which will include those FEAR FACTORY tracks, and many other
songs from various bands, to be released on Calvin/Trillion Records on August 3,
2005.
Fans will get to hear some of the new FEAR FACTORY tracks this summer on Dave
Mustaine's GIGANTOUR. Christian Olde Wolbers, who will be slaying fans on the
GIGANTOUR tour this summer with his new JACKSON signature series guitars and
Krankenstein amps, states, "We're really excited about doing a big summer tour -
we haven't done that since we headlined the side stage of the Ozzfest tour in
98. I'm happy to convert the older and young metal fans of the GIGANTOUR. Once
again Dave has put together a slamming summer tour!"
I cant wait to hear that track with Lamb Of God :icon28:

I hope it's better than Archetype which had very little longivity. I only really listen to Act of God on that album now.

I bought Archetype, but most of the songs were just so terribly generic and formulated that I didn't like them. Act of God was good, and one other was interesting. But besides that they were all pretty "meh this shit all sounds the same" imo.

I purchased With Teeth today and i dont know what you people were moaning about, i think it's ownage. It's no Downward Spiral but it's an excellent album, especially "Beside You in Time" and "Right Where it Belongs".

I agree phant. I'm listening to You Know What Your Are at the moment. The CD is different from previous NIN, but wtf can you really expect? It's not like a group can write the same shit 10 times over. Things need to change and progress.
But yeah, my favorite songs are currently All the Love in the World, Every Day is Exactly the Same, and Beside You in Time

I have Ashes of the Wake album by Lamb of God and i think it's a bit gash, his voice is rather grating.

Bloody hell, are they still around? I thought all of them left, or something.
Although I only liked zero signal, or whatever it was called. And once the guy started singing it was a bit shit.

Its the standard CD but it comes with a DVD-Audio disc that has been remixed in 5.1 surround.
Also, I thought Ashes of the Wake was Lamb's best CD. The Faded Line is currently my favorite song. In fact I have to go listen to it now...

Heaven Shall Burn is fucking awesome but I can only listen to a few of their songs at one time...Those classical bits are great too. I'll have to get At The Gates.

NIN = Trent...
Being as such, I am suprised that he is able to keep things from sounding like the same music over and over.
I have With Teeth and love it. I really needed some new music and this CD came out just in time.
It's not Tool, but it's getting me by.
*awaits the new SOAD*

Yeah I picked it up last Thurs and was pretty impressed. Beside you in time is the one song I don't like on it though due to the constant droning.

Here are the key HSB songs to look for:
The Dream is Dead
Numbing the Pain
Tree of Freedom
The Only Truth
The classical interlude tracks are really great too:
Echoes
Risandi Von
Deyjandi Von
