Fear Factory Prepare Cybernetic Assault with New Album 'Roboticist'

Fear Factory are doubling down on their industrial metal roots, announcing the arrival of their eleventh studio album, "Roboticist", set to drop on 9 April 2027 via Nuclear Blast Records. The new record marks a significant milestone for the pioneers, serving as the debut studio recording for the band's updated lineup consisting of Dino Cazares, Milo Silvestro, Pete Webber, and Tony Campos.

To pave the way for the full-length release, the band has unleashed the new single "Detonizer". Described as a piece of mechanized fury and cybernetic assault, the track serves as a warning of the machine age. Cazares notes that the band's narrative now focuses on a world where humanity's creations have become its successors, stating: "Cybernetic Industries has seized control of artificial intelligence, orchestrating humanity's extinction. The machines have inherited the future. No blood. No flesh. All machine. Welcome to the age of 'Roboticist'."

The machines have inherited the future. No blood. No flesh. All machine. Welcome to the age of 'Roboticist'.

Produced by Damien Rainaud at Mix Unlimited, the album features a sprawling 11-track tracklist including "Roboticist", "Decentralization", and "Eradicator". The accompanying music video for "Detonizer", directed by Thomas Mignone with visual effects by Gabriel Connor, continues the cinematic sci-fi narrative the band has explored for over three decades. As Cazares puts it regarding the new single: "The countdown to destruction has begun. It's time to detonate the system."
