FEAR FACTORY- NEW LABEL AND RELEASE DATE!

Fear Factory, featuring original FF members Dino Cazares and Burton C. Bell alongside bassist Byron Stroud and legendary drummer Gene Hoglan, will release its new studio album, "Mechanized", on February 9, 2010 via Candlelight Records.

"This is definitely a different chapter for us and I think it's the best thing we've ever done," Cazares tells RevolverMag.com. "Obviously, Burton and I have grown up and we've pretty much perfected what we do. More importantly we've discovered why we so were good together in the first place. Our combination just works. All the ingredients and the elements that we had in the past, combined with what we've learned since being apart feels like putting on a new glove that still feels as good as an old glove."

"I didn't want any of the soundscapes to sound natural," Bell says. "I wanted them to be really mechanical because I wanted that aspect of FEAR FACTORY to really shine again. I feel it kind of got dulled over and that's the aspect that I really enjoyed a lot about FEAR FACTORY. I was a huge fan of industrial music and still am. And you don't hear much of that anymore these days."
