Fear Factory have officially announced the details of their eleventh studio album, ‘Roboticist,’ which is scheduled to arrive on April 9, 2027, through Nuclear Blast. The record takes its title from the band’s first single featuring vocalist Milo Silvestro, which initially surfaced in instrumental form in 2023 before receiving a full release this past August.
The album marks the first full-length release to feature Silvestro, who joined the industrial metal veterans in 2023 following the departure of longtime vocalist Burton C. Bell. Bell’s exit came after an increasingly fractured relationship with guitarist Dino Cazares, compounded by legal disputes.
Fear Factory have also unveiled “Detonizer” as the second single from the upcoming record, accompanied by a newly released music video. The sci-fi-themed clip was directed by Thomas Mignone (Slipknot, Mudvayne) and draws inspiration from the Terminator franchise, continuing the futuristic imagery introduced with the album’s title track.
Cazares offered the following description of the song’s dystopian concept:
“Cybernetic Industries has seized control of artificial intelligence, orchestrating humanity’s extinction. The machines have inherited the future. NO BLOOD. NO FLESH. ALL MACHINE. Welcome to the age of Roboticist.”
The band also shared the following statement about the video:
“Fueled by mechanized fury, relentless aggression, and the will to rise from the ashes, this cybernetic assault unleashes pure sonic annihilation. No switch can stop the ignition. Prepare for detonation!”
The 11-track ‘Roboticist’ will feature the following songs:
- “Roboticist”
- “Decentralization”
- “Detonizer”
- “Eradicator”
- “Welcome To The Factory”
- “Unsynthesizable”
- “No Blood No Flesh”
