来自官网的最新消息：
Fear Factory将于今年6月份发行他们的最新专辑《The Industrialist》，而现在，乐队公布了他们的新专辑封面及歌单。《The Industrialist》将于6月5日在Candlelight唱片旗下发布。
Fear Factory乐队经过两年多的时间磨练推出了他们的第九张录音室专辑，这是主唱Burton C. Bell和吉他手Dino Cazares归队以来，七年里发布的第二张专辑，上张专辑“Mechanize”于2010年2月发行，而2005年发行的Transgression，吉他手是由由新任吉他兼贝斯手Christian Olde Wolbers取代。
新专辑的封面设计由美国设计师Anthony Clarkson制作，名称中文可译“企业家”，意指The Industrialist化身成为现代企业的自动机，在技术、科学和机械的进步，通过工业化而产生《The Industrialist》，歌曲描述了主角通过观察和学习的日益收集，同时获得了生存的意志，最后将人类的灭亡。What was meant to help man, will eventually be man’s demise.”
他们会再以残忍的重死亡金属并稍加后硬核修饰的音乐再次冲击金属届，吉他手Cazares表示“我们均按计划进行得很顺利，这种感觉非常棒，可以说是在回归真实的Fear Factory的风格，我们将最原始的冲动提升到了一个新的档次。”

乐队简介：Fear Factory是死亡金属界最早推行创新主义的少数几支乐队之一，其音乐融合了工业噪音、电子采样和节奏以及狂暴、杂乱刺耳的吉他声响，从而创造出复杂多变、阴冷沉重的音乐。毫无疑问，这是一种悲观的、具有逃避倾向的声音，但它恰好表达了高度工业化的现代社会中许多人对生活的感受。猛烈夸张的旋律加上叙事诗般的意境当然会赢得众多的支持者，于是成功显而易见。乐队成立于1990年的洛杉矶，最初由主唱 Burton C．Bell、吉他手Dino Cazares和鼓手Raymond Herrera组成，其后加入贝司手Andrew Shives。1992年，乐队推出首张专辑《Soul Of A New Machine》，它标志着Fear Factory已经成为一支真正的死亡金属乐队，而同年发行的EP《Fear Is The Mind Killer》则更是Fear Factory对其音乐理念的实践和对独立音乐的探索，其后于1995年发行的《Demanufacture》和1997年的EP《Remanufacture》都是这种创新精神的延续，一直到《Transgression》。

新专辑官方介绍：
Fear Factory today reveals cover and package details for the band’s forthcoming new album, “The Industrialist.” Set for North American release on June 5th, “The Industrialist” is a conceptual record based around a story written by vocalist Burton C. Bell. Lyrics to the album’s ten songs divulge the narrative as discussed recently by Bell with Decibel Magazine.
The album’s artwork was created by American designer Anthony Clarkson with additional direction from the band. The album will be available on three formats – standard CD, a limited edition deluxe digi-book (featuring two additional songs), and 180-gram double vinyl. Check out the artwork at this location.
Bell notes, “The protagonist (The Industrialist) is the incarnation of all industries in the form of an automaton. The mechanical, technological, and scientific advances through the industrial age led to the creation of The Industrialist. In the story, the automaton becomes sentient as it collects memories with each passing day. Through observation and learning, it gains the will to exist. What was meant to help man, will eventually be man’s demise.”
“The Industrialist” again pairs Fear Factory with producer Rhys Fulber. Mixed by Greg Reely (Paradise Lost/Skinny Puppy), with additional tracking by Logan Mader (Gojira/Divine Heresy), the album is the second written by Bell and guitarist Dino Cazares since reuniting in 2009 after a seven year split. Cazares says, “collaborating with Burton again on the new album was like magic. Everything just fell into place naturally. It felt good to recapture the true sound of Fear Factpru, taking it back to where it all started while raising it to new levels.” Regarding Fulber Cazares notes, “Rhys has been our secret member/ He is the one producer who has been able to understand what we have been trying to accomplish from the beginning and has opened our eyes to new things without sacrificing our original sound. His production and keyboard talents has made Fear Factory stand out amongst the many bands of our genre.”
