FEAR FACTORY

Yes, it's true — one of the headliners will be American industrial metal icons Fear Factory, a band with a huge fanbase not just in Czechia.

There's probably no point in going over Demanufacture and its huge impact on the development of metal all over again. Fear Factory were among the pioneers of blending mechanical industrial sound, groove metal, brutal vocals and striking melodic passages.

But let's look ahead.

Fear Factory are entering a new era with vocalist Milo Silvestro, who has spent years proving he handles Burton's parts with complete ease. A few days ago the first single in the new line-up, “Roboticist”, came out as the herald of an upcoming record due before the end of 2026.

“Roboticist” is no attempt to tear up the Fear Factory sound. Instead it confidently builds on the industrial metal of the Demanufacture and Obsolete era, dominated by mechanically precise guitar riffs, machine-like drums, electronic layers and the signature contrast between aggressive verses and melodic choruses.

Hearing legendary tracks like “Replica” on the Hill still sounds like a dream — and now that dream is coming true!

Be there, because this may not happen again.
