Fear Factory will release Roboticist on 9 April 2027 through Nuclear Blast Records.
This is the thing that was missing this morning. When Detonizer went out, as we wrote in the story about the single, the band would not say what album it belonged to or when it was coming. Both answers arrived a few hours later, along with eleven track titles and a video.
It is the eleventh album and the first that Dino Cazares has made with this line up rather than toured with it. Milo Silvestro sings, Pete Webber plays drums, Tony Campos plays bass on every track and Damien Rainaud, who produced, engineered, mixed and mastered the record at Mix Unlimited, is listed on keyboards.
The concept is the one this band has been circling since 1992, pushed one step further. Cazares describes a company that has taken artificial intelligence away from the people who built it and is running humanity out of the future. No blood, no flesh, all machine, as he puts it.
Jean-Baptiste Robilliard did the cover. Thomas Mignone directed the Detonizer video. The American tour runs to the end of November.
