It is a big week for us in Fear Factory as we make our final preparations for our return to the live stage touring across the U.S. beginning Feb. 25 on the ‘Rise of the Machine’ tour. We can’t wait to get out on the road and start kicking some ass. ‘The Machine Will Rise.”

I know I have some massive shoes to fill but I’m here to do it in the best way possible and give justice to the vocal legacy of this legendary band.”
