FEAR FACTORY's DINO CAZARES Says New Singer MILO SILVESTRO 'Shines' On Upcoming Single 'Roboticist'

In a new interview with Poland's Strefa Music Art, FEAR FACTORY guitarist Dino Cazares spoke about the band's upcoming single, "Roboticist", which will arrive on Saturday, August 29. The track will mark the band's first release with FEAR FACTORY's latest additions, singer Milo Silvestro and drummer Pete Webber, who have been part of FEAR FACTORY's touring lineup for nearly three and a half years.

Asked if the "Roboticist" release "feels like the beginning of a completely new chapter" for FEAR FACTORY, Dino said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "Of course. It's a whole new era for FEAR FACTORY, and we've been promoting it that way live. 'Cause as of right now, we've only been playing all the back catalog of FEAR FACTORY, and people seem to love it. And one of the first things that Milo says is, 'Welcome to the new era of FEAR FACTORY.' That's exactly what it is. And so now, with the new song coming out, people are gonna be able to hear what that sounds like."

Regarding the lyrical inspiration for "Roboticist", Dino said: "Basically, what that is about is about the actual roboticist, the person that makes them. We call it the architect of the artificial. He's building machines to outlast the flesh."

After the interviewer noted that FEAR FACTORY has always explored themes like technological advancements and artificial intelligence on its previous albums, Dino concurred. "The future of computing and all that stuff and A.I., that goes all the way back to the '50s," the guitarist explained. "A.I. has existed for many, many years, but now it's just obviously become involved in everything that we use.

"There are a lot of people who complain about A.I., but the only way they're gonna get away from not using A.I. is to get rid of all their electronic devices and basically live in a mountain in a cave or something," Dino continued. "You have to live off the grid if you don't wanna use A.I., because it's in every aspect of our life and in every app. And it's in the algorithms, it's everywhere, so there's absolutely no escaping it. So you just kind of have to adapt to it."

Asked if A.I. makes it easier for bands to create new songs nowadays, Dino said: "Yes, it could if you decide to use it that way. But that's not the way that we've used it at all. We didn't use it for any music at all whatsoever. We still do it the way we've been using it. But you gotta understand, the recording devices that we use, it's in the software. It's in Logic Pro. It's in Pro Tools. It's all built into the algorithm, and there's no way escaping it. We use it as a tool for recording, but we didn't use it as a tool for writing."

Asked if it is easier to write lyrics about A.I. now that it is so prevalent in everyday life, Dino said: "Well, no, because we've been singing about it forever, and people have been talking about it forever, for a long time. And that was the whole concept of the band name, FEAR FACTORY. Anything that manufactures fear. And going back to our first record, 'Soul Of A New Machine', that was the birth of the band, it was the birth of the concept, it was the birth of the story. And, of course, 'Demanufacture' and 'Obsolete' — 'Obsolete' is where we were predicting the future of how not only us humans as being replaced by automatons, but we were kind of talking about how certain things were gonna be replaced, certain jobs, certain manual labors, digital formats of how we stream music and even radio, a lot of radio stations got rid of DJs, and they got digital programming, stuff like that. We were talking about the modern changes that were happening at that time in 1998, and, of course, also talking about where we see man as becoming obsolete. We just told our version of the story of stuff that we've picked up on, reading certain books and watching certain movies. Obviously, movies like 'Terminator' and 'Blade Runner' with replicants, 'Terminator', where the machines are getting rid of humanity, things like that. We just sang our version of the story. And we continue that type of concept, of course, into FEAR FACTORY and into the song 'Robotocist'. Now, 'Robotocist', the song deals with the creator of how this robotic A.I. is gonna replace humanity. So, yeah, this is our version of the story, but we talk about the creator, the guy who created it."

On the topic of what made him realize, more than three and a half years ago, that Milo was the right person to become the new voice of FEAR FACTORY, Dino said: "Well, I didn't realize instantly. But I was very attracted to the way he sang and the way he sounded like what FEAR FACTORY fans know what the vocalist should sound like. Of course, people say, 'Oh, you replaced him 'cause he's a replica,' and, yeah, definitely. Because that's how the songs were made, that's how the songs were sung, and that's the tone of the vocals. And so Milo had it nailed down. And, obviously, we were one of his favorite bands. We're pretty much in the top five. And he knew the band. He knew what effects [original FEAR FACTORY singer] Burton [C. Bell] used. He was definitely a fan of Burton and he definitely knew his technique on how he created tones, and he fit right in. So, right when I saw his video, I was, like, 'Wow, this kid sounds just like him.' And some people complain that he sounds too much like him, but if he sounded not like him, then people would be, like, 'Well, it doesn't sound like FEAR FACTORY.' So it's, like, you can't win or lose with it, so I ended deciding to go with what fit best for the sound that we were trying to go for. So it's a very familiar sound, tone, technique that people are used to. So when people go and see the songs live, if they close their eyes, it sounds exactly the same. So that's exactly what we were going for.

"On the new record, there's definitely still a lot of those same elements, but Milo definitely has some of his own style that shows on the new record," Dino explained. "I can't wait for people to hear it."

After the interviewer pointed out that Milo also brings "some fresh energy" to FEAR FACTORY, Dino concurred. "One hundred percent," he said. "Whatever vocalist I'm working with, I would try to push them and try to get the best performance out of them as well. We had a producer, a guy named Damien Rainaud, and he's very much the same way. When he produced Milo's vocals, he tried to get the best performance. He tried to get the passion out of Milo, and that's exactly what happens when you're doing the recording process, or you want that to happen. And I think Milo shines on this new record, and you're gonna hear it on the first song coming up August 29th."

An early instrumental version of "Roboticist" was made available in 2023 to promote the virtual guitar rig plugin and standalone app Toneforge Disruptor.

This past March, Dino told New Breed TV that "Roboticist" would appear on the band's next LP, explaining: "The arrangement slightly changed — for the better, of course. 'Cause it was originally written as an instrumental, and the ending part of the song is now the middle part of the song. And it sounds amazing. So you just gotta check it out when it comes out."

The "Roboticist" release will coincide with the launch of FEAR FACTORY's "Cybernetic Domination" European tour with CRYSTAL LAKE, HATE and THE NOCTURNAL AFFAIR, which will kick off on August 29 in Poznan, Poland and conclude on October 10 in London, United Kingdom.

Last month, Dino told Argentina's Rock & Pop 95.9 that the upcoming FEAR FACTORY album will contain lyrics that deal with the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (A.I.). "We've always been singing about that, since the beginning of FEAR FACTORY, since our first record, 'Soul Of A New Machine', and that was basically just an introduction to who we are and what we were about," he explained. "Obviously, the story progressed and the concept progressed to where we became obsolete, humanity becomes obsolete. And on this new record, all that's left of humanity is fragments. And what's left of humanity, we are fighting for de-extinction — in other words, to not become extinct. But there's a whole other part of the story that's with it too."

Asked what Milo has brought to the band when it comes to FEAR FACTORY's new material, Dino said: "Milo is a talented musician. He's a talented singer. He can play a lot of instruments — keyboards, drums, guitar, bass, vocals. But on this record, he mainly did — of course he did all the vocals, but we shared a lot of the same lyrics. So we wrote lyrics together. It was good, creatively, to work with him, 'cause he's a musician that understands all different aspects of the music and the instruments. So, creatively, it worked out great. He's very familiar — 'cause FEAR FACTORY's one of his favorite bands, so he's familiar with the classic elements of what makes FEAR FACTORY. And so him, when he joined the band, he fit right in just like that. Not only the style of vocals, but also the style of what makes a FEAR FACTORY song. And, yeah, he fit right in and he definitely has his own elements as well, besides the classic FEAR FACTORY style."

This past May, Dino was asked by Duane James of Australia's Wall Of Sound if he is concerned about how the FEAR FACTORY fanbase will receive the band's first music with Silvestro. Cazares said: "Nah. What does it mean anymore? It doesn't mean anything anymore. As long as you believe in what you're doing, and you 100% love it, it doesn't matter what anybody says. It comes down to how you feel. And I feel it's gonna be a classic. Now, if people don't like it, I don't know what to tell them. That's their problem. But I 100% believe that people are gonna love this shit, 'cause it's new, it's brutal, it's heavy, it's melodic. [There are] beautiful moments on the record. It's everything that makes FEAR FACTORY a FEAR FACTORY record. And we're talking about 'Obsolete' and 'Demanufacture', but this is going to a different place than some of the older classic stuff. This is going to a different place, and the place that it's gone to is newer, it's fresher, it sounds modern, it sounds where we are now in this genre of music. And also, a bit forward-thinking as well."

On the topic of the lyrical inspiration for the new FEAR FACTORY album, Dino said: "Conceptually it's about… It's always been about the relationship between man and machine and where we are. And obviously, technology has caught up to some of the stuff that we have been talking about over the years on our records. Now, it's like we're talking about the next 50 years from now, where we're gonna be at with this technology. And, of course, everybody's got this A.I. bug in them, and we're definitely capitalizing on a lot of our concepts that we came up over the years. And we always felt that we were ahead of the game when it came to that kind of stuff, with a lot of warnings. Especially 'Obsolete', where we were talking about how a lot of things were gonna become obsolete. Which is true, but not only did they become obsolete, we, as a human species, have learned how to adapt to this, and I think that's exactly what's happening. We put out a remix record a couple years ago called 'Recoded', and the intro said, 'You adapt or die.' And that's it. You have to adapt to where technology is going or you're gonna get left behind. A lot of people complain about A.I. A lot of people complain about A.I. artwork. A lot of people complain about A.I. in general. But a lot of people don't realize that if you wanna get rid of A.I., which you're not, but if you wanna start getting rid of A.I., you gotta get rid of all your electronic devices, because everything that we do online, all that is is information for A.I. to learn off of, to learn who we are, what we are and what makes us who we are. And that's how they become sentient. So if you don't want that to happen, then get rid of every electronic device you got. Which I know that's not what's gonna happen. No one wants to get rid of their phones. So this is what we gotta deal with."

Earlier in May, Dino told Jaimunji of Metal On Tap about FEAR FACTORY's upcoming LP: "On this new record, we have a team of people that are working with us. We had Rhys Fulber do some of the keyboards. We had our fill-in basis, a guy named Ricky Bonazza, who is our fill-in basis for Tony Campos when he can't do it, when he is on tour with STATIC-X, he helped contribute a lot with some of the programming, some of the arrangements and some of the vocals, actually, lyrics. Of course Milo did a great job with a lot of his lyrics and a lot of going over the concept ideas. And our producer Damien [Rainaud] right now, he's been working with us since [2012's] 'The Industrialist', so he definitely knows the band pretty well. We've got a great team of writers, and this record's gonna have a shit-ton of killer songs and it's gonna make it harder picking which songs of that record to play live. And we're gonna be coming out with a new single really soon, so it's gonna be great."

When Jaimunji commended FEAR FACTORY for not releasing new music right away after securing a replacement for original vocalist Burton C. Bell, allowing Silvestro an opportunity to "live and breathe FEAR FACTORY for a while" before contributing to the band creatively, Dino concurred.

"When we released [the final album with Bell] 'Aggression Continuum' [in 2021], we got Milo in, and then right after that we were on tour," Dino said. "So, we were supporting that record. I know that I have said in the past that I was gonna release a [new] single [with Milo's vocals], but I was, like, 'Okay, maybe Milo needs to develop a little bit more before we do that.' We knew that he could jump in seamlessly, singing all of Burt's vocals live, but creatively we still needed to work out that together. And that's exactly what we did. We took our time, and we wanted to make sure this release is gonna be fucking sick. And it is. So I really can't wait for the world to hear it."

Regarding the musical direction of the new FEAR FACTORY material, Dino said: "It's heavy. It's modern. It's got a lot of great programming, cool little surprises. Milo definitely comes into his own, not just a replacement of the last singer. He definitely does have his own little niche, and it's great. All the beautiful melodic choruses that people like, the melodic elements of the clean vocals, of course ripping guitars, shit's getting heavier. Shit's getting lower. So it's all over the place. Shit's fast, shit's groovy. Epic outros, epic closing songs. It's gonna be everything that I think people are gonna love about FEAR FACTORY."

This past March, Dino told Brazil's Headbangers News, about the rest of FEAR FACTORY's current lineup: "I try to pick guys that are best for the band. Obviously, they could play the parts. They don't have a problem playing the parts. And Pete's an amazing drummer. He comes from more of a thrash background, but he also grew up listening to FEAR FACTORY. I mean, he told me that he saw FEAR FACTORY when he was 14 or 15 years old. He came to the show in Worcester, Massachusetts. So, he's been a fan of the band for a long time, so he's learned a lot of the music, and for him stepping in on drums was seamless. And Tony Campos, he's been a friend of mine for many years, probably 30 years, and we've been in numerous bands together. We have a band called ASESINO. And he was playing in the L.A. local scene when we first came out, FEAR FACTORY as well. So I've known him for many years, and he's a great player. But he has his own band called STATIC-X. So whenever STATIC-X is not touring, he tours with us. The door is always open for him."

FEAR FACTORY recently announced a November 2026 U.S. tour with support from DARKEST HOUR and BROTALITY. The "Cybernetic Domination" trek will kick off immediately after FEAR FACTORY's upcoming co-headlining tour with Cleveland, Ohio-based masked metal masters MUSHROOMHEAD.

Silvestro's addition to FEAR FACTORY was officially announced in February 2023.

FEAR FACTORY played its first headlining concert with Silvestro and Webber on May 5, 2023 at the Whisky A Go Go in West Hollywood, California.

FEAR FACTORY's latest album, the aforementioned "Aggression Continuum", was released in June 2021 via Nuclear Blast Records. The LP, which was recorded primarily in 2017, featured Cazares, Heller and Bell.

In September 2020, Bell issued a statement officially announcing his departure from FEAR FACTORY, saying that he "cannot align" himself with someone whom he does not trust or respect, apparently referring to Cazares.

Bell later told Kerrang! magazine that his split with FEAR FACTORY had been a long time coming. "It's been on my mind for a while," he said. "These lawsuits [over the rights to the FEAR FACTORY name] just drained me. The egos. The greed. Not just from bandmembers, but from the attorneys involved. I just lost my love for it."

А кто-то на что-то иное рассчитывал? Я сразу говорил, что будет третично, что это будет звучать, как кавер на би сайт FF к последнему альбому. Хотя и не предполагал, что будет настолько приторно. Ппц как припев пересластили, что в чае даже сахар не нужен.
