The pioneers of industrial-tinged extreme metal, FEAR FACTORY, will embark on a U.S. headlining tour next month. Support on the trek, which will see the band perform its classic second album Demanufacture in its entirety, will come from Swedish metallers SOILWORK.
“To me this album sounds not one day older today than it did in 1995,” stated guitarist Dino Cazares, “It’s a metal classic for the ages and I’m excited that we are finally going to be able to perform it live in its entirety + songs from Genexus. Play fearlessly.”
