Fear Factory announced back in August that they'd found a "kind of known" new vocalist to replace Burton C. Bell. According to Fear Factory guitarist Dino Cazares in a new interview with This Day In Metal, the new vocalist will be unveiled with a new song sometime between now and when the band kicks off its tour with Static-X and Dope on February 21, 2022.
"Yes. We plan on showcasing him with a new song. I really want people to hear it and judge it by when they hear it. Because if I announce who it is right now, then it's gonna be, like, everybody is gonna give their opinion before they even hear anything. So I'd rather people give their opinion of when they hear it than before they hear it."
It's interesting Cazares said that "everybody" is going to give their opinion, meaning that maybe the vocalist is someone more known than "kind of" known? My vote is still for Jon Howard of Threat Signals, for what it's worth.
