While on one side of the fence Dino Cazares is wrestling with the ressurection of Divine Heresy, on the other side some more positive news emerges, with Fear Factory penning a deal with Nuclear Blast Records.

The industrial legends have signed a deal with the biggest metal label in Europe, and have announced that you can expect a follow up to 2012’s ‘The Industrialist‘ around winter 2015. Guitarist Dino Cazares and A&R representative Monte Conner spoke out about the new signing:

Dino commented:

“Evolution and change are key elements in the non-stop growth of Fear Factory. With that said, I am proud to be back working alongside the first man to believe in what we were doing back in 1990. He took a chance and signed us, and the rest is history. Monte Conner, once the main A&R man at Roadrunner Records, has now once again come back into the Fear Factory family with his new home – Nuclear Blast Entertainment. We can’t wait to deliver an epic new album to kick off this new era.”

Monte commented:

“Fear Factory are truly one of the groundbreaking metal bands of our time. On their 1992 debut Soul Of A New Machine, Burton C. Bell introduced the world to the alternating heavy and melodic dual vocal approach that would go on to become a staple in metal to this very day. The following year, they were the first metal band to enter the industrial/dance remix world with the pioneering Fear Is The Mindkiller EP. And look at the countless metal bands who have since imitated the unique machine gun-style rhythm section, created when Dino Cazares’ staccato riffs locked in perfectly with the syncopated kick drums. I am excited to be reunited with this legendary band, and I am certain their Nuclear Blast Entertainment debut will be another Fear Factory classic.”
