FEAR FACTORY will release a new single, "Roboticist", on August 29. The track marks the band's first release featuring singer Milo Silvestro and drummer Pete Webber, who have been part of the band's touring lineup for nearly three and a half years. An early instrumental version of "Roboticist" was made available in 2023 to promote the Toneforge Disruptor plugin.

The single will coincide with the launch of FEAR FACTORY's "Cybernetic Domination" European tour, which begins on August 29 in Poznan, Poland and concludes on October 10 in London, United Kingdom. The tour features CRYSTAL LAKE, HATE and THE NOCTURNAL AFFAIR as supporting acts. A full itinerary is available on the admat.

The upcoming FEAR FACTORY album will explore themes of artificial intelligence and the relationship between man and machine. Guitarist Dino Cazares stated that the new record builds on the band's long-standing concept of technological obsolescence and human adaptation. The album will include contributions from Rhys Fulber, Ricky Bonazza, and producer Damien Rainaud.

Silvestro joined the band following the departure of original vocalist Burton C. Bell, who announced his exit in 2020 citing disagreements over rights and egos. FEAR FACTORY played its first headlining show with Silvestro and Webber on May 5, 2023, at the Whisky A Go Go in West Hollywood. The band's latest album, "Aggression Continuum", was released in June 2021 via Nuclear Blast Records. In addition, FEAR FACTORY will launch a U.S. tour in November 2026 with support from DARKEST HOUR and BROTALITY, following a co-headlining run with MUSHROOMHEAD.
