"FEAR FACTORY" release new song, sounds like FEAR FACTORY, schedule album release
Posted on November 9th, 2009
I don't know if you've been following this FEAR FACTORY drama, but here is a quick summary: Burton C. Bell and Dino reformed the band without telling the other two members, Christan and Raymond. Instead they got Byron Stroud and Gene FN Hoglan to be in the band. Christian and Raymond didn't even know about it and apparently own 50% of the name and are all like OH NO YOU DON'T!!
Earlier this week even, founding FEAR FACTORY drummer, Raymond Herrera, commented that new (nu?) FEAR FACTORY drummer Gene "The Machine" Hoglan might not even be able to keep up, saying:
"The odd thing about that is I spoke to Gene Hoglan a couple of times, and he even mentioned to me, he's like, 'Look, dude, I can't even play some of that [old FEAR FACTORY] stuff.'
"Look, man, it's nothing against Gene — I love Gene. I have nothing against Byron, I have nothing against Gene; this is purely a business thing, [and] I understand that. I'm level-headed enough to understand that, but that's what Gene told me himself — that some of those songs he can't even play
Coincidentally, the nu-FEAR FACTORY decided to release a new song and all signs point to the fuckin Machine being able to pull it off and then some. I mean seriously, there is NOTHING Gene Hoglan can't pull off. The released the song below, and it sounds killer:
The song is called Powershifter and is set to appear on the band's release "Mechanize", which is scheduled to be released on February 9, 2010 via Candlelight Records. Will it actually come out or will Ray and Christian actually sue the band? Should be an interesting couple of months in Fear Factory land!

man… Dino seems like such a douche, i dont see this lasting. Raymond and Gene are great drummers and surprisingly similar IMO.
how's he doing that hi-hat thing at the beginning? it sounds like he's doing a 32nd note roll on the hats, while a 3rd arm pounds out the 8th notes on the snare
it's his excess flab flapping onto the skin.
Attention Raymond: Gene was being nice you queer. Theres nothing you've ever done that Gene can't play with one foot and one arm.
Lol @ "…might not even be able to keep up" in reference to Gene Hoglan. Hahaha, that gave me a great laugh this morning.
gene hoglan for president.
New song is awesome. Gene Hoglan craps all over original FF drummer. Is it me or does Dino have a 'gene simmons' face in that pic? Not a good sign. :p
sucks that there's still drama going on between the members, i would love to see the original members jam again but damn am i excited about some new fear factory. dope new song.
Those are some impressive elbows. Glad he showed them off to me.
Gene Hoglan was in Death, thats all that needs to be said about his skill level. This man is a GOD.
Regardless of who plays for them, I don't think their live show will ever be as big, or entertaining as the Obsolete tour. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgBRo5YNvOI
gene hogan is a fucking great drummer he played in death, dethklok, testament, and dark angel
Gene was a ass when I met him when he was playing with Forbidden. Infact most of the guys in that band are dick heads. It makes alof of sense to me that dick heads want to be in a band together. Dino and Gene and all these guys where made for each other.
