Fear Factory have released ‘Detonizer’ and announced Roboticist, their first full album with vocalist Milo Silvestro, due on Friday, April 9th, 2027 through Nuclear Blast.
The 11-track record features founding guitarist Dino Cazares, Silvestro, bassist Tony Campos and drummer Pete Webber. Silvestro has fronted Fear Factory since 2023, following the departure of longtime singer Burton C. Bell.
Released on Tuesday, November 10th, ‘Detonizer’ follows August’s ‘Roboticist’, which marked the recording debut of that lineup. The title track first appeared in instrumental form back in 2023, before emerging as a finished vocal recording this year.
Roboticist will be the band’s 11th studio album and their first collection of new material since 2021’s Aggression Continuum.
Explaining the album’s storyline, Cazares says: “Cybernetic Industries has seized control of artificial intelligence, orchestrating humanity’s extinction.”
Fear Factory ‘Detonizer’ video
The new video picks up the science fiction narrative introduced in the ‘Roboticist’ clip, with Thomas Mignone directing. Doom Inc. and Undaunted Media handled production, while Gabriel Connor supplied the visual effects.
Damien Rainaud, who also worked on the title track, produced, engineered, mixed and mastered Roboticist at Mix Unlimited. Jean-Baptiste Robilliard of Rhubarbes Lab created the album artwork.
Preorders are open for CD and double vinyl, with light rose, silver and clear vinyl editions and a band-exclusive picture disc among the formats announced. Both singles appear on the 11-song tracklist, alongside ‘No Blood No Flesh’, ‘Synthetic Savior’ and ‘Neural Infection Scanner’.
The announcement comes ahead of Fear Factory’s next US headline dates, which begin in Springfield, Missouri on Thursday, November 12th. Their 2027 schedule already includes Welcome To Rockville and Sonic Temple appearances in May, shortly after the album lands.
Roboticist is available to preorder through the band’s official album link.
