Influential industrial metal band Fear Factory have announced plans to perform their third studio album, ‘Obsolete’, in its entirety at the 2027 Milwaukee Metal Fest.
Originally released in 1998, the album went on to achieve gold certification in the United States in February 2001.
Fear Factory are scheduled to perform on May 16, the closing day of next year’s festival. Alongside the full-album performance, the band will also be playing a selection of fan favorites.
Guitarist Dino Cazares, the sole remaining member of the band from the ‘Obsolete’ era, commented:
“Milwaukee Metal Fest, prepare for TOTAL CYBERNETIC DOMINATION! We’re bringing the full force of Fear Factory to the stage, performing OBSOLETE in its entirety! Every crushing riff, every industrial assault, from start to finish! Get ready, Milwaukee! THE MACHINES ARE COMING!”
Meanwhile, Fear Factory are preparing to release their new studio album, ‘Roboticist’, in April. The record’s latest single, “Detonizer,” premiered earlier this week.
The 2027 edition of Milwaukee Metal Fest will run from May 14-16 at The Rave/Eagles Club in Milwaukee, WI. A pre-party is also scheduled for May 13 at a venue that has yet to be announced.
