Industrial metal pioneers @fearfactorymusic launches a bold new era with "Roboticist," — the latest single marks the recording debut of the band's current lineup featuring vocalist Milo Silvestro, drummer Pete Webber, and bassist Tony Campos. Blending crushing mechanical aggression with a haunting, melodic hook, the track explores a dystopian reality where flesh fails and only consciousness endures.
"The future isn’t coming. It’s already here, ‘Roboticist’ is the next evolution of Fear Factory.
Man, Machine and the war for what comes next. I can’t wait for everyone to hear the beginning of a new era of Fear Factory."
Dino Cazares
Produced, engineered, mixed, and mastered by Damien Rainaud, the single arrives alongside a cinematic music video directed by Vincente Cordero and produced by Arion Csihar. System activated: the next chapter of FEAR FACTORY has officially begun.

For more than three decades, industrial metal pioneers FEAR FACTORY have explored the friction between man and machine, tracing the rise of artificial intelligence and humanity's loss of control over its own creations.
Death is no longer the end—it is the next evolution. The machine no longer needs humanity; it inherits the future.
Stand by: critical intel on the upcoming album is imminent. In the meantime, prepare for the live assault. Experience FEAR FACTORY as they tear across Europe and the US on the Cybernetic Domination Tour.

Mélancolia ‘Picking Scabs’ Lyrics:
vivid visions of a six inch wrist incision
send the text
1-800 dread
noises, [noises]
still people make noises
noises, [noises]
still people make noises
collected and sampled [studied the sorrow]
starving for zero
noises, [noises]
still people make noises
noises, [noises]
till they make me sick
i feel everything too much
but still connect the cuts
staining the silk until i am all but numb
the skin once vibrant
but the saturation seemed to fade
when i spill myself
i traced your name across my veins
blood junkie
ugly shame
collecting her stains
oh how depraved
rope burn neck tie
tell me did you feel alive?
rope burn neck tie
tell me did you see the signs? [see the signs]
[my shame]
my shame
[in my wounds]
i’ve got my veins in a cage
she dug her nails into my wounds
[oh the stain]
the stain
[on my soul]
she’s holding hands with the rope
i helped her lace around her throat
dancing through the red light
i’ve never felt so alive
fuck me dead
picking scabs off my innocence
noises, [noises]
still people make noises
noises, [noises]
still people make noises
send the text
1-800 dread
noises, [noises]
still people make noises
noises, [noises]
till they make me sick
send the text
1-800
