FEAR FACTORY Engulfs America with Trademark Cybernetic Fury on Summer
Headline Tour
Drummer Raymond Herrera-helmed Mischief Invasion Soundtrack In Stores
August 8
The pioneering entity known as FEAR FACTORY is on a rampage. Having
completed a spring run on the Jagermeister Tour with Slipknot & Chimaira
(with Hollywood Reporter deeming their set "crushing") and causing jaws
to drop with their groundbreaking debut release for Liquid 8 Records
Archetype, the band is primed to ignite America on their upcoming
headline tour.
Harnessing a style many have emulated but none have duplicated, FEAR
FACTORY's latest offering, Archetype was received to exceptional sales
(moving over 100,000 units and debuting in the Billboard Top 30 Chart),
radio success and critical praise. Computer Games Magazine: Now Playing
says, "Fear Factory is at its productive best." FHM Magazine attests
that the return is "Heavier than ever!" Metal Edge Magazine cites it as
"One of the most important albums of the year." Modern Drummer heralds
the album as a "sonically fearsome return." And Revolver Magazine calls
it "Raw and ripping."
Archetype's debut video "Cyberwaste" topped the CVC Rock/Alternative
Charts is still in recurrent rotation on Fuse TV's Uranium and MTV2's
Headbanger's Ball programs. FEAR FACTORY recently filmed a video in
downtown Los Angeles for their new single "Archetype" under the
direction of Cesario "Block" Montano and acclaimed film director Michael
Alan Kahn, notable for his work on such films as Die Hard, Die Hard II,
Lethal Weapon 2 & 3, and Se7en. The radio single for the track is
currently charting at Active Rock.
Now, the band is ready to take their inimitable technically-proficient
presence to the next level with a full headline tour (with Sworn Enemy
and Mastodon in support), which kicks off July 25th at the Hellfest
Festival in New Jersey. Drummer & videogame guru Raymond Herrera is
visibly excited about the prospect: "The Jagermeister tour was amazing;
we had a great time with the Slipknot and Chimaira guys. Now, on our
headlining tour, fans will get to see the full Fear Factory experience."
When not shredding stages with his inhuman drumming technique, Herrera
also supplies music & sound effects to films & videogames via his own
company Herrera Productions. His latest project is conceiving the
soundtrack to Mischief Invasion, the fourth entry in the popular
Mischief 'reality' street racing film series in conjunction with
Techademics Films and Liquid 8 Records. The soundtrack will be released
on August 8th. FEAR FACTORY is no stranger to the world of film
soundtracks, as the band's music has been featured on such blockbuster
hits as Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil, Freddy Vs. Jason, and Texas
Chainsaw Massacre. Herrera approached Teckademics to create a
soundtrack for Mischief Invasion, as he was awestruck by the wild antics
contained in the film. Likening the movie to "the Cannonball Run of
2004," Herrera was immediately inspired and collected an assortment of
cutting edge and innovative artists to compose full-throttle material
for the soundtrack; some of whom whose work had previously appeared on
the Emmy-winning series Sex In The City and the films XXX and National
Security. Herrera and FEAR FACTORY guitarist Christian Olde-Wolbers
also composed four tracks for the release; in addition to including a
new remix of the band's latest single "Archetype".
Herrera Productions brings a wealth of experience to capturing the road
raging energy of racing, having provided music and effects for such
videogames as Carmageddon (for PC), Test Drive 5 & 6 (for PC,
PlayStation, & Dreamcast), Demolition Racer (for PlayStation), Test
Drive Off Road Wide Open (for PS2 & Xbox), RalliSport Challenge (for
Xbox), and the forthcoming games Test Drive Crosstown (for PS2) and Gran
Turismo 4 (for PS2, PC, Game Cube & Xbox). On Thursday, July 15th, the
Half-Life Radio Show on the GameShout
Radio Network is airing for a two-hour FEAR FACTORY special and
interviewing live with Herrera to discuss the band's innovation and
evolution.
