Fear Factory to Shift to Recording New Album Following Cancelled Coal Chamber Tour
The recent announcement that Dez Fafara would need to cancel Coal Chamber’s upcoming live performances for 2025 meant that Fear Factory’s plans to hit the road with Coal Chamber have been upended. Taking the sudden wrench in their plans in stride, Fear Factory have decided to pivot into the studio to start working on new music with new vocalist Milo Silvestro after promising it for-fucking-ever.
Following the cancellation of the Coal Chamber dates, Fear Factory made the following announcement on Twitter:
“Due to Dez’s health issues, the Coal Chamber tour has been cancelled. We’re sending Dez our best wishes for a speedy recovery and thanking each of you who purchased tickets. Thank you for your unrelenting passion and support. We will now shift our focus to complete our new album, which we are excited to share with you.”
You’ll remember that Fear Factory announced Milo Silvestro as their new vocalist almost two full years ago and, since then, we’ve run article after article about how the band are really, really, really going to put out new music with him very soon and it keeps not happening. So, at this point, I’ll believe that new music is coming when I see it.
