FEAR FACTORY guitarist Dino Cazares has posted two short videos featuring behind-the-scenes footage from the making of the band’s long-awaited new album.
The first clip features producer Damien Rainaud working on Mike Heller‘s drums for the LP, and the second features “Rainaud putting together some cinematic hits for a song intro for the disc,” according to Blabbermouth.net.
On Friday (September 11), Cazares issued a statement clarifying his reasons for launching a GoFundMe campaign to assist him with the production costs associated with the release of the new LP. Earlier that same day, singer Burton C. Bell, who has fronted the group since its inception, posted a message on his official Facebook and Instagram saying that he is “not part of” and isn’t “benefiting” from any GoFundMe campaign. He added the hashtag “#fearfactory”. This led to confusion among some of the FEAR FACTORY fans, especially since Dino had already indicated that Bell‘s lead vocals would be featured on the upcoming record.
In his statement explaining the GoFundMe campaign, Cazares said that all donations will go toward covering newly incurred production costs involved with the making of the new FEAR FACTORY LP, including re-recording the drums, guitars, bass and keyboards, as well as mixing and mastering by Andy Sneap. Burton‘s original lead vocals, which were recorded in full in 2017, will remain on the new version of the album.
FEAR FACTORY‘s fundraising campaign marks the first public activity from the band since it completed a 2016 U.S. headlining tour on which it performed its classic second album, “Demanufacture”, in its entirety.
