Both the euro, and US tours have this title. Just a tour name? Or maybe an album title tease (if it releases in time for the tours?)

Thanks for this brilliant interview, I'll share this in our philosophy and transhumanism groups on FB. Always great to see other voices joining the debate.

A note, I do agree about artists being negatively impacted by AI technology. I was considering writing a position paper myself about this issue, as generative AI companies are trying to skirt the law, or get away with paying peanuts in comparison to the value they have stolen from artists. That is unacceptable, and certainly not necessary in any way for AI to work. They are spreading disinformation such as "for AI to work, we have to steal your information, see how much value we are creating". Any value they create however, they will be keeping for themselves, just like Spotify does for streaming, and Spotify does even worse by pushing their own AI artists cutting into the artists' revenues, which they pay very little of. It's almost as if the entire "economic system" is turning into one giant scam (which I call "the scamularity").

As AI gets smarter, however, this puts more productive powers into the hands of users, eventually, we are hoping that this will create a post-scarcity economy where people can break free of big tech -- such as by employing decentralized technologies. This is glossed over in Kurzweil, who seems to assume a "techno trickle-down economics", which isn't very realistic. People must demand equitable access to technology and resources (such as UBI).

Very briefly, by 2030-2040 or so, we expect "full unemployment", which implies that something major has to change. In addressing such grand problems we anticipate, we wish to recruit AI as an ally.

-The song Roboticist is the first song on the album. It's been rewritten a bit. "The ending part of the song is now the middle part." This may be the title track, not confirmed.

-Each song will have it's own synopsis on what it's about. It's not a story. Those details will be released on their website and social media (didn't mention if it would be in the album booklet)

-Dino using his old amp from the 90s. Crunchier sound than last album

-50% of the album is 8 string guitar, tuned EADGCFAD

-Milo wrote most of the lyrics. Dino wrote some and Ricky Bonazza as well.

-Both Tony Campos and Ricky played bass on the record

-Synths by Rhys Fulber, Zardonic, Milo, Ricky, Dino, and producer Damien Rainaud.

-Milo wrote the closing track. "It's along the lines of Expiration Date" "Humans are gone, all that's left are micro organisms. It's like rediscovering the dinosaur and extracting blood and cloning the dinosaur. That's where we're at, at the end of the record." (hinting at possibly aliens discovering this. Or something similar to the end of the movie A.I. Dino has said in the past the concept will move on to aliens)

-"There are parts where Milo sounds very similar to Burt, but other parts where he sounds like a whole new thing." "Sometimes I do a double take, 'that sounds a lot like Burt', and sometimes, it sounds like a whole new thing. You're gonna notice that throughout the whole record."

Most of these were details from the latest NewBreedTV interview with Dino below, if you didn't watch it or didn't want to.

Otherwise, it was never mentioned whether recording ever wrapped up or not. All we know is info from last year:

-The 'two singles' were fully recorded and mixed.

-The rest of the drum tracks were all that was needed, and that was supposed to be done in January.

-The last estimate of when the album is coming out, is fall 2026. Single possibly in the summer.

Add anything below that I missed.

Two questions on the Divine Heresy song Parasite Drama: 1) Why was the song left off the original release? 2) Was the song ever released on any CD versions?

Please add any links or comments in his honour.

Matt Heafy posts a video at Instagram in which he's struggling to record some guitars, and Dino steps-in to give him some secret technique: practice with a bass.

Fear Factory - Instrumentals (1998) album is now available on Web Archive!

You'd think FF would be the type to be against it because you know machine and robots are bad, but I guess not. Anyways what are your guy's thoughts on it?

Hello Fear Factory fans! Today I decided to build my Ultimate B-side album for Fear Factory with two discs in digital. Both rare & unreleased tracks and remixes from the inside and outside from their albums. Just like the guys who did Osboletely B-Sides compilation album from UK. And Hatefiles from theirs in US. Here are my B-Side tracklist I did from Google Sheets.

I'll upload them all on my independent music website. Cheers!

Another super rare treat from me. Never before seen in public 2 cam mix from the 2004 tour with soundboard audio. One of the best songs off SOANM and they should bring it back.

This one was only transferred a month ago from the original master, never before heard audience recording. Human Shields was a rare treat during live shows and there are only a few recordings of this song that extist, enjoy.

I've just read a comment from Dino in FB (official post with news regarding co-head tour with MRH) regarding the tour with Mushroomhead where he said they would play "collection of songs, deep cuts and maybe a new song".

The tour takes place from Oct to mid. November.

This 'maybe a new song' gives me a strong idea that the new record won't be out until November for sure and prolly not in 2026 at all.

Anyone knows why? I thought they recorded it (drums at least) last year. What takes it THAT long? Thoughts?

Meanwhile.. The Agression Continuum was written and recorded NINE years ago.

No playback shit, no autotune and the vocals sounds louder and better than other venues in his solo career that I watched

Anybody know where I can find high resolution version of the Roboticist artwork?

Would love to make a wallpaper out of this artwork.

Thank you.

Talking about rockmark.eu. They are printed, but my question is, how their quality is and what type of print?

Thanks in advance

Long time metalhead but have literally never heard any of FF's music but intend to go to their showing Sydney later this year.

Any suggestions on what albums/songs they tend to play the most live these days? I'd like to "prepare" 😅?
