The official video for FEAR FACTORY’s new single ‘Detonizer’ continues the science-fiction narrative introduced with the title track of Roboticist. The single is available to stream, and the band’s eleventh studio album will arrive April 9, 2027 through Nuclear Blast Records.
Thomas Mignone directed the video, with production by Doom Inc. / Undaunted Media and visual effects by Gabriel Connor. Discussing ‘Detonizer,’ founding guitarist Dino Cazares says: “The Countdown to destruction has begun its time to DETONATE THE SYSTEM.”
The album follows a band that has explored humanity’s relationship with machines and artificial intelligence for more than three decades. Its fictional setting places humanity’s creations in control of the future.
“Cybernetic Industries has seized control of artificial intelligence, orchestrating humanity’s extinction.” Cazares says of the album. “The machines have inherited the future. NO BLOOD. NO FLESH. ALL MACHINE. Welcome to the age of ROBOTICIST.”
Roboticist marks the recording debut of the updated lineup featuring Cazares on guitar, Milo Silvestro on vocals, Pete Webber on drums and Tony Campos on bass. The supplied band roster also lists Damien Rainaud on keyboards.
Rainaud produced, engineered, mixed and mastered the album at Mix Unlimited. Jean-Baptiste Robilliard of Rhubarbes Lab created its cover artwork.
Album pre-orders and pre-saves are available. Physical formats include jewel case CD and 2LP, with Light Rose, Silver (NB mailorder), Clear, Solid Red (Revolver Exclusive), Splatter (Metal Injection Exclusive) and Picture Disc (Band) variants.
