Interview pt 1 Metal Hammer sat down with Burton C Bell and Dino Cazares to discuss everything you need to know about the latest incarnation of Fear Factory! In this world exclusive interview, Fear Factory founding members Burton C Bell and Dino Cazares talk about their friendship, why Raymond Herrera and Christian Olde Wolbers weren’t involved, and their plans for a brand new album! Metal Hammer: This has come as something of a surprise. Aren’t you guys supposed to hate each other? Burton C Bell (vocals): “Well, you know, we were friends before we were in a band together and after a while we forgot what it was all about. The first time we saw each other in a long time was at the Ministry show in LA, and we just started talking again. It was like ‘I don’t really remember what it was all about!’ It’s like, good friendships will always return, basically.” Metal Hammer: Were you surprised by that? Had you avoided each other? Dino: “Burt lives in Metal Hammer: So where did the idea come from that it might be time to collaborate on music again? Did that happen straight away? Dino: “Before we even talked about it, we had a few drinks! He was on tour with Ministry, he invited me backstage, we had a few drinks, and after that we kept in contact by phone and email and he approached me with the idea and I thought it was a great idea. We had to rekindle the friendship first and then move forward from there.” Metal Hammer: You guys started Fear Factory in the first place… Dino: “Me and him were in a band before Fear Factory, doing heavy Godflesh kind of stuff, and were also roommates and it kind of grew from there and we found other musicians and that’s how Fear Factory came about.” Metal Hammer: When did you decide that this was going to be Fear Factory and not just a new project? Metal Hammer: Have you guys rehearsed together yet? Dino: “Yesterday was our first rehearsal. It was amazing. The vibe was really good. It felt like we never stopped jamming. You know, Dino: “There are definitely specific things we want to achieve, but we have to approach this with an open mind. We don’t want to fully repeat ourselves, what we’ve done in the past, but we definitely do want to make this album the future of a classic record.” Metal Hammer: A lot of bands are reforming these days and everyone always plays all the old classics…is that your plan too? Dino: “One of the things about Fear Factory’s m.o. is that we were always a band that evolved, and that’s something we want to achieve now too. It’s obvious that we’ve got my signature right hand, my guitar, and we’ve got Burton’s signature vocals, but we’ve got a different drummer and this is eight years later, so there’s gonna be some different ideas and we’re gonna make it the best it can be. We’re not gonna put out a record that’s half-assed. It’s going to be 100 per cent Fear Factory and it’s going to be the future.” Dino: “I know a lot of bands, when they get back together they can basically go out and tour off the classics and that’s great. That’s something that we’re definitely going to do and I know a lot of the fans are going to want to hear Dino’s guitar sound back into the mix, and we’re really happy to be able to give them that. We’re going to have some European festivals coming up, including Sonisphere.” Metal Hammer: …and you’re doing Bloodstock too, right? Dino: “Yeah, we’re doing Bloodstock as well and some other festivals in fuente: metalhammer.com.uk
