Industrial metal pioneers Fear Factory have launched a new era with the release of "Roboticist," the first single from their current lineup. The track, which premiered on Sirius XM Liquid Metal, marks the recording debut of vocalist Milo Silvestro, drummer Pete Webber, and bassist Tony Campos. Produced, engineered, mixed, and mastered by Damien Rainaud, the single features a cinematic music video directed by Vincente Cordero and produced by Arion Csihar. The release signals a shift in the band's direction, exploring a dystopian future where artificial intelligence surpasses humanity.

The new single builds on Fear Factory's long-standing thematic focus on the tension between man and machine. Guitarist Dino Cazares stated that "The future isn’t coming. It’s already here," positioning "Roboticist" as the beginning of a new chapter for the band. The track blends aggressive mechanical rhythms with haunting melodic elements, reflecting a narrative of technological evolution and human obsolescence.

In addition to the single, Fear Factory has confirmed a series of live performances. The band will perform across Europe and the United States as part of the Cybernetic Domination and Soul Of A New War Machine Tours. While specific dates and venues are not yet detailed, the tour represents a continuation of the band's live presence following the release of this new material.

The upcoming full album is expected to follow, with official details to be revealed in the coming weeks. Fans are urged to stream "Roboticist" at https://fearfactory.bfan.link/roboticist and prepare for the band's live assault in the months ahead.
