In a recent interview with Search & Destroy, vocalist Burton C Bell released some details on the upcoming album featuring himself, Dino Cazares (guitar), Byron Stroud (bass) and Gene Hoglan (drums). The band are still going through legal battles to use the name “Fear Factory“. They have set “Mechanized” as the title for the album and was co-produced by the band with Rhys Fulber and was recently mixed by Greg Reely. Regarding the musical direction Bell had following to say:
It has the raw aggression of what ‘Soul Of A New Machine’ was but it has… I would say it has the maturity of ‘Obsolete’. When I say ‘maturity,’ I mean that it has the songwriting skills that ‘Soul Of A New Machine’ did not have whereas ‘Obsolete’ did.
