FEAR FACTORY: Australian Tour Dates Announced - June 10, 2009
The new version of FEAR FACTORY — featuring the band's original members Dino Cazares (guitar) and Burton C. Bell (vocals) alongside bassist Byron Stroud (who played on the last two FEAR FACTORY albums in addition to touring and recording with STRAPPING YOUNG LAD and ZIMMERS HOLE) and legendary drummer Gene Hoglan (DETHKLOK, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, DARK ANGEL, DEATH, TESTAMENT) — will embark on a tour of Australia in August. Confirmed dates are as follows:

Aug. 18 - Capitol - Perth, Australia
Aug. 20 - Tivoli - Brisbane, Australia
Aug. 22 - Enmore - Sydney, Australia
Aug. 23 - Palace - Melbourne, Australia
Aug. 24 - HQ - Adelaide, Australia

Tickets go on sale on June 18.

Dino's tenure with FEAR FACTORY ended in March 2002 after Bell announced his departure from the group, allegedly telling his bandmates at the time, "Look, guys, I'm not into it anymore, I don't wanna play in the band anymore, I don't wanna play with you guys, and I especially don't wanna play with you, Dino."

FEAR FACTORY eventually reformed without Dino and released two more studio albums, 2004's "Archetype" and 2005's "Transgression".

In a September 2007 interview with MTV.com, Cazares — who currently heads up a new band called DIVINE HERESY — stated about his former group, "In the long run, I believe I came out the winner, and I feel that they have bastardized the name, and it's a completely different band, different style. I definitely carried the passion in that band, and my riffs, my style, they were very distinctive. I don't regret anything I created in FEAR FACTORY whatsoever. It will be part of my memory for the rest of my life. I believe I am continuing the legacy and keeping this metal torch alive and bringing it back with DIVINE HERESY. You can feel the hunger and passion in DIVINE HERESY, which I believe FEAR FACTORY has been missing, and is still missing to this day."

ARKAEA — the new band featuring FEAR FACTORY members Christian Olde Wolbers (guitar) and Raymond Herrera (drums) alongside vocalist Jon Howard (THREAT SIGNAL) and bassist Pat Kavanaugh (THREAT SIGNAL) — will release its debut album, "Years In The Darkness", on July 13 via E1 Music (formerly Koch Records).

because this goes back to the whole thing of whos dick is bigger. . . honestly for dino anyway. . . wouldn't you feel just totally thrashed on (no pun intended) if the band you founded reformed without you.

as for burton and dino collaborating once again. . . all i can say is, they have a chemistry that obviously burton feels more at home with than with tian and ray. . . and if you listen to the dino era, you will see that burton differance. . . not that post dino is bad, but honestly dude. . . freedom or fire is all i have to say. . . well, i could go on, but just think about it. . . it's soooo true!

This is great news! I've seen Fear Factory twice now, in 04 supporting Korn and in 06 headlining. I'm excited to see this new version of Fear Factory!

um. . . dude, have you any idea what gene hoglan is capable of? believe me when i say. . . you claim you want the original line up back, but you soon will forget all that once you hear what's to come. dino and gene together is more brutal thatn dino and ray. . . trust me. . . ray mostly uses the double kick for riffs and fills, where as gene really utillizes the "whole" kit. . . it'll be amazing. . . trust me, you will see - well, rather hear. . .

Strapping Young Factory? When did this happen? Holy crap this sounds like an awesome line-up, but I just glad Fear Factory is back from hiatus, are they gonna be on 13th Planet records?

That's what I liked about Ray's drumming, the fact that he didn't utilise the whole kit. I think Gene's a great drummer, better than Ray, but
having more skill doesn't always mean there'll be chemistry.
I still think it'll be pretty damn good, the question is just whether to call it FF or a new project. Either way, i'll be checkin out the Sydney show.

I guess, but I'd like to know what happened with Olde Wolbers and Herrera, sounds like backstabbing to me.
