Fear Factory recently released their new album, Genexus, via Nuclear Blast Entertainment. Burton C Bell and Dino Cazares answer fan submitted questions pertaining to the new album in the video below:

The album charted in several countries around the globe, coming in at #13 on the World Top 40 Chart, and once again solidifying the band's stature as an international force. In addition, Genexus has surpassed the band's last two releases, Mechanize (2010) and The Industrialist (2012), in terms of first-week sales and chart numbers in the United States.

"Thank you to everyone who actively support their favorite artists," commented the band from their current US tour. "Also, thank you to Nuclear Blast's fantastic performance in the promotion of Genexus! Because of your loyalty and diligence, we had a great first week, appearing on the charts across the globe! Please spread the word about our new album Genexus, for you are the 'Genexus Generation'!"

Australia #15

Genexus was produced by vocalist Burton C. Bell and guitarist Dino Cazares, and co-produced by long-time collaborator Rhys Fulber. The album was mixed by famed British producer and engineer, Andy Sneap (Arch Enemy, Testament). Drums on Genexus were performed by Mike Heller (Malignancy).

“The word genexus is a hybrid of two words; genesis and nexus,” explains vocalist Burton C. Bell. “This word describes the next transition in human evolution as man moves forward to a ‘mechanical’ state of being. Ray Kurzweil predicts that the singularity will occur around 2045. Genexus is the term for that next evolutionary process. Where humans are machines, machines are human, and the differences are oblivious to the naked eye."

“This album is a record of thought patterns, psychology and struggles of the Genexus generation. The cognitive machine has arrived, and it wants autonomy from the industry that created it. This machine struggles, like every other human has throughout the course of history. This is the story of every one of us.”

Artwork was once again handled by artist Anthony Clarkson.
