The American band Fear Factory just signed up to be part of Sweden Rock festival!
Also in an interview during the 70000 Tons of Metal cruise, Bell revealed that Fear Factory is planning to write and record a "full-on concept" album,
likely to be released in 2012. He explains, "We're gonna kind of take a break a little bit, but we're definitely going into the studio at some point and start writing. We wanna take our time doing it. Personally... Mechanize, don't get me wrong, is a good record — I'm very proud of it — but it's gotta be better than that. I've got plans where I'd like to do a full-on concept again — story, artwork. Just make it real cerebral. But there'll definitely be another Fear Factory record, maybe in 2012."
They havent released any new video or tune for this new album so Ill play an old one for u, their last album from 2010 "Mechanize".
This group is comming out with a new album here in March 13th. Called Enslaved.
It was recorded in late 2011 in Tallcat Studios in Phoenix, Arizona and produced by Zeuss and Max Cavalera. It is the first to feature Asesino frontman Tony Campos on bass, and former Borknagar drummer David Kinkade on drums. Guests on the album include Dez Fafara of Coal Chamber and DevilDriver and Travis Ryan of Cattle Decapitation, who's vocals were recorded at Frick'In Studios in San Marcos, California.
Ryan was brought in to record vocals in place of Adam Warren of Oceano. Some songs are set to feature a guest violinist, among other new styles that they are set to incorporate into their sound.
Sorry to say they havent booked any tour dates yet.

Let us enjoy this tune. Ladys and Gents, The Haunted No Ghost!
Californian groove metallers DevilDriver have released their brand new song “Dead To Rights.” For a limited time, the song is available for free on the band’s as well as Roadrunner Records’ website. “Dead To Rights” is the first song off of their upcoming album “Beast,” scheduled to be released on February 21, 2011 in the US via Roadrunner Records. The album was produced by Mark Lewis and marks his first collaboration with the band
Beast is the forthcoming fifth studio album. The online Beast E-Team created by Daniel Wells and Sean Smith was mostly responsible for crashing Roadrunner Records systems on Monday, January 10, 2011. When the first single Dead To Rights was released for download.
Personnel on the new album is:
Dez Fafara – Vocals Mike Spreitzer – Guitar Jeff Kendrick – Guitar Jon Miller – Bass John Boecklin – Drums ---- Andy Sneap – Mixing Mark Lewis – Producer
“The record is extreme,” vocalist Dez Fafara told Revolver magazine. “And it attacks from start to finish. If you liked [2007's] ‘The Last Kind Words’, this is like that on steroids and crank, driving a Buick Skylark 200 miles an hour straight to Vegas.”
“I felt like I was waking up and experiencing a moment of clarity that brought out all these pissed off, negative emotions,” Fafara said of making the album. “It’s an all-out release of pain.
“It’s been a beast of a year and a half, and it’s still going,” he added.
Regarding the new album’s musical direction, drummer John Boecklin stated, “It’s interesting to me — it’s not the fastest shit we have done, nor the slowest, [but it] just [has] lots of groove. But to me, when people say ‘it’s got groove,’ I think it’s a nice way of saying simple and boring these days. We wanted to avoid this.
“Our record has a great contrast of dark riffs, stomp bouncing drums with the right amount of blasts and double bass, and outstanding vocal delivery from Dez that takes it past your average approach of the metal attempt. I’m not talking about reinventing the wheel or nothing. I just think our new album sits in its own corner from any of our other albums.”
