In an early 2008 interview with MTV.com, Bell stated about ASCENSION OF THE WATCHERS, "I've never really considered myself a metal guy. Yeah, I've been in a metal-industrial band, but the music I've always listened to has been much different, which is maybe why the vocals I did with FEAR FACTORY were different than those of other metal singers. But I definitely wanted to do something much different this time. The music is completely personal, and it lets me try techniques I haven't previously had the chance to explore. We used to always say we were expanding the boundaries in FEAR FACTORY. Well, now I'm really stepping out of the boundaries."

	With you ending your statement promoting the new Metallica album, I wouldn't expect you to know anything you're talking about anyway. Burton is a great vocalist.

	like the song. can't watch the video, makes me dizzy

	COMMENT \| Go take a huge shit Burt.... posted by : Type o Dave 9/1/2008 5:02:06 AM

	Imwhiteofcourseimwimpy - Okay, so you're a Burton fanboy. You go girlfriend. Yeah, he's ggod at the industrial/gothy stuff, but he's just another singer in the long line of singers who try to make out they are somehow 'above' the normal metal fraternity. Which is of course complete and utter garbage. It's what made him famous and now he's trying to make out thet he's kind of better than that. Yeah, what ever suppressed muso duuuude..... And the fact that you take a cheap swipe at Metallica before the new album is out, says a lot about you. Another 'metalhead' who probably reckons that Metallica 'sold out' after the first four albums and aren't brutal enough for your ever so 'metal' life anymore. Metallica or death baby!

	first off Metallica did sell out and they are the worst excuse for a metal band. they suck ass. second, fear factory was great. this songs sucks and the video was even worse. you gotta be kidding me

	COMMENT \| A legend posted by : riley23 9/1/2008 9:19:16 AM

	Burton is one of the best vocalists in music today. He is now venturing in a new area of artistry and doing it well. You cant keep doing the same this over and over. This is showing how talented he actually is. PS: I do miss Fear Factory..... Metal heads: Open up, there is other music out there to listen to. Open up....(Try Skinny Puppy, it will kick you ass.) Two horns high to Burton...

	COMMENT \| BURTON CAN TRY NEW THINGS.......... posted by : southmetal_guy 9/1/2008 9:56:23 AM

	BUT THIS ONE TOTALLY SUCKS BALLS! AWFUL SONG AND LAME VIDEO. BURTON, LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU GET THIS SHIT OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM. AND RETURN TO FEAR FACTORY!?

	COMMENT \| type o dave posted by : mydyingbride2003 9/1/2008 10:34:03 AM

	AWWWWWW, look at the poor little baby, getting upset! I've HEARD the entire new album. Lars still doesn't know how to play drums and Hetfield's vocals have gotten worse! At least Kirk is playing halfway decent solos again, but that still doesn't save the album. I was never a big fan of Metallica. They are many bands more worthy of my money. Try something decent, like Dark Tranquillity or Agalloch.

	COMMENT \| riley23 posted by : mydyingbride2003 9/1/2008 10:35:57 AM

	Agreed - Skinny Puppy are amazing. !

	COMMENT \| just go make another fear factory album posted by : Fear_the_Divine_Factory 9/1/2008 11:02:48 AM

	And when you do it bring back Dino.

	COMMENT \| This MUST be a joke posted by : PreFinal 9/1/2008 12:26:43 PM

	you can switch the song at any point and it alsway sounds the same - nothing, realy NOTHING happens in this lame, boring song!!! Sad that he´s gotten a record deal just because of his name while so many talented bands are stucked in the underground forever.

	COMMENT \| gee....... posted by : zdrumrguy 9/1/2008 1:14:57 PM

	i wonder how many takes it took to get this video done.

	COMMENT \| posted by : El Pendejo's Brother 9/1/2008 8:02:24 PM

	god this sucks so bad

	COMMENT \| Dino is not a god!!!!!!!! Fear_the_Divine_Factory posted by : rottengut 9/1/2008 9:51:40 PM

	Get off Dino's nuts. The truth is Fear Factory without Dino is average until further notice. Brujeria without Dino is average to further notice. Divine Heresy without Burton is average until further notice. Asesino without Juan is average to further notice. What that tells me is that I haven't heard shit out of any of these groups since they divorced each other, and I've wasted alot of money because I believed all of the hype. They all need to either kiss and make up, or make a shredding ass CD, because I am tired of wasting my money. In fact, I'm done buying shit that i haven't heard. PS be careful of alot of new Death Metal CD's coming out, because they suck compared to their last efforts.

	Archetype was far better than Digimortal though.
