FEAR FACTORY's Dino Cazares Comments On Reuniting With Burton C Bell For Festival Dates
April 28, 2009, 15 years ago
Two decades since the pairing of Dino Cazares and Burton C Bell put down the first tunes for what was to become FEAR FACTORY, the pair have put wandering differences aside and have decided to continue creating their unique brand of cyber metal - which they will be bringing to the UK this summer for what will be two unforgettable shows.
Fear Factory will be performing at Sonisphere Festival (Knebworth, 1st - 2nd August) alongside METALLICA, LINKIN PARK, NINE INCH NAILS, MACHINE HEAD and many more, as well as Bloodstock Open Air (14th - 16th August, Catton Hall, Derby) where a plethora of metal acts such as CARCASS, ARCH ENEMY, CRADLE OF FILTH and BLIND GUARDIAN will join them.
STRAPPING YOUNG LAD bass player Byron Stroud and drum legend Gene Hoglan (SYL, DARK ANGEL, TESTAMENT, DEATH, DETHKLOK) complete the line up.
“...our first rehearsal... was amazing” stated the Fear Factory guitarist. “The vibe was really good. It felt like we never stopped jamming. You know, Burton’s always got a million ideas and obviously I shit out riffs, and playing with one of the best drummers in the world... for me, it’s one of the best collaborations that I’ve ever been a part of.”It has been seven years since Dino and Burton have played together, and this summer UK fans have two opportunities to hear classics like ‘Scapegoat’, ‘Replica’ and ‘Edgecrusher’ performed with Dino’s signature guitar style and Burton’s instantly recognisable vocals.
