Fear Factory Announce Tour with Soilwork; Will Play Demanufacture in its Entirety
Update, March 2, 2016: New dates added! New dates noted in bold in the routing below.
Original Post: This past June marked the twentieth anniversary of the release of Fear Factory’s Demanufacture, which is an album their fans really like. So they’ll be playing the whole thing on their next tour, natch. Of course, Raymond Herrera and Christian Olde Wolbers are no longer in the band, but whatever I guess.
Guitarist Dino Cazares issued the following typically modest statement about the trek:
“To me this album sounds not one day older today than it did in 1995. It’s a metal classic for the ages and I’m excited that we are finally going to be able to perform it live in its entirety + songs from [the band’s most recent album] Genexus. Play fearlessly.”
I’m not really sure what that “play fearlessly” bit at the end was about. Is that how Fear Factory fans say goodbye to one another? Maybe Dino accidentally included part of his high school commencement speech. Maybe he’s launching a new line of sportswear to compete with No Fear. I dunno.
ANYWAY, Soilwork will be on the tour, too. At the time of this writing, Speed Strid had not yet released a comment congratulating himself on being in an awesome band.
