FEAR FACTORY announces the next evolution in their cybernetic journey with their eleventh studio album, “Roboticist”, arriving April 9, 2027 via Nuclear Blast Records. Death is no longer the end. The machine no longer needs humanity; it inherits the future. Alongside the album announcement, FEAR FACTORY released their new single, “Detonizer”. The new album showcases the recording debut of the band’s updated lineup: founding guitarist Dino Cazares, vocalist Milo Silvestro, drummer Pete Webber and bassist Tony Campos.

Regarding the new track “Detonizer”, Cazares adds: “The countdown to destruction has begun. It’s time to detonate the system.”
