Fear Factory guitarist Dino Cazares has opened up about the band's forthcoming studio album, which is tentatively scheduled for release later this year via Nuclear Blast.

The record will mark the band's first full-length with vocalist Milo Silvestro and drummer Pete Webber, who have toured with the group for over three years.

In a recent interview with New Breed TV, Cazares explained that each track on the album will come with an in-depth explanation of its lyrical intent.

"That's what we're talking about," he said.

"Humanity is only left in fragments, and there's very little hope… when it does come back, it's gonna be a new living organism that we haven't even discovered yet." Fans of the previously released instrumental can expect it on the album, with tweaks to its arrangement.

The record also highlights the collaborative efforts of the new lineup.

Cazares stressed that the band has taken their time with the new material to ensure quality, especially given the high expectations for Fear Factory's first release without original singer Burton C.
