FF was ahead of their time!!!

[@richard7645]

Their music is about humans vs machines course its going to ge ahead of it's time 😅

[@LordAbortion23]

No Burton no Fear Factory ...!

[@kurosawarukasu]

Burton is the best.

[@Doyledeth]

He sings like shit live. It was time to replace him. He just can't sing live at all. Just scream.

[@JimmyJaxJellyStax]

Wish Burton stayed but he's contributed an epic legacy to the band's vocals regardless so total respect with his decision. Heard the new guy Milo recently live - great fit into what vocals call for and he's definitely got it from here! The growls but also the grace.

[@diabeticmonkey]

At this point, I've grown wise enough to not take sides in other's matters. It's only our place to judge at face value, and no matter the story, you can tell that Burton is done vocally. Anything past that is none of our business, but people keep asking anyway.

[@shred69]

Re-industrialized is killer. Didn’t expect to like it but now I can’t stop listening to it 😅

[@whitebread940]

I thought it was the most recent release, how could fans not have liked it back then? Even with programmed drums.

[@LeonLandgren-qt9pg]

@@whitebread940 it had a lesser than feeling after mechanized.

[@Presekaman]

The first metal album I ever bought was Transgression. I just can't imagine to hear someone else singing in Burton's place.

[@dcking1738]

I assure you Dino, you can always create a template for drums, but always allow drummers to apply their organic methodology, it will resonate well to the listener

[@antitroll890]

Funny how the truth is always Dinos version of it which many people subsequently discredit

[@patientmental875]

Which people?

[@Salomon_G]

Funny how no one else is stepping forward to say the truth. People that discredit Dino just don't like him for whatever reason, and that's all they need. I've seen people blame Dino for absolutely tons of stuff he couldn't factually even have anything to do with at all. The guy has been judged really unfairly for years. The other guys in the band all brought in their share of conflicts, especially Burton, I'll just quote Christian Olde Wolbers on this "Burton is the real snake in that band, you have no idea."

[@Salomon_G]

​@@daryalftusa I don't know if he's 'snake', but all facts has shown he is a horrible businessman. I don't have time to give you the history of FF though.

[@STATiSBEATS]

@@Salomon_G curious as to why wolbers said that

[@krokmiten]

Somewthing doesn't add up in Dino's story about not paying his healthcare in Canada because it's free. It's only free for Canadian citizens. You must have paid insurances otherwise it would be as expensive as in the US.

[@toby.f_2103]

Clearly, most of you in the comments never saw Burton play live, don’t get me wrong, his studio vocals were incredible, (due to autotune), but if you ever hear some of his live concert vocals, they are terrible, kudos to Dino to carry on the Fear Factory name and get Milo in the front, I’ve seen them live and he sang incredibly, people need to move on and not hold on to the past.

[@TehPearlheadf]

The last shows with Burton before he left even had him perform autotune live. There's a reason the live shows with Milo have been more successful than the live shows with Burton before his departure

[@Voorhees_Metal_Productions]

I saw them around 2000 or so and they all looked like rappers.

[@tgchan]

Thank you/

[@brianpark492]

I am Canadian.Dino ? Hey we have to show Health cards that basically show we are Canadians before we are looked at.Otherwise it went through insurance.

Ohhhhh this reminds me of the episode with Mark Hamill is that scientist that creates an AI that poses as his partner and makes him kill the real woman so it can be his significant other... Can't recall the episode name! X

Man, AI is already starting to be the downfall of society. Unfortunately many of the things listed such as “peace” will never be brought through AI. For sucks sake you guys wrote an entire album with the terminator in mind 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[@kurosawarukasu]

Fear factory is nothing without Burton c legend

[@Doyledeth]

He sounds like shit now.

[@MaxxD]

I'm interested to hear new FF material at some point but Milo copying Burton exactly, even down to onstage banter, is pretty uninspiring. Demanufacture/Obsolete album cycles were so fresh and interesting, but it certainly seems like a rehash at this point, without one of the major draws, an original harsh/clean vocal from the guy who basically invented it.

[@Doyledeth]

James looks like Brian Posehn. lol

[@spoookmagazine]

I’ll take that

[@ffreplica515]

Burton is Fear Factory.

[@alextaunton3099]

Sorry but vocals are the least important aspect of metal. Metal is guitars and drums.

[@alextaunton3099]

You can have a metal band without vocals. Try metal without guitars...

[@ffreplica515]

@@alextaunton3099 except that FF’s music has a lot to do with the vocal hooks Burton wrote. The new guy sounds like him, but can he write like him?

[@alextaunton3099]

@@ffreplica515 bullshit. The music is primarily based around super tight guitar/drum combos with extensive start/stop patterns and rolls. The hooks are tbh Fear Factory's weakest point a lot of the time. Their strength lay in bone-crushing aggression and unheard-of synchronicity between drums and guitars usually reserved for tech death bands. Burton is not a bad vocalist, but his style isn't leagues ahead of the competition like the Cazares and Herrera combo. Tbh they make FF, not Burton. Vocal hooks define pop music, not metal

[@ffreplica515]

@@alextaunton3099 you’re right about the music, but what hooked all those metal noob kids was Burton’s choruses. That’s why so many bands ripped off the good cop bad cop vocals from them. FF were the first to do it. Agree to disagree I guess.

[@Topherthetoolman]

Dino is a money hungry tool, same with Tony Campos. This aint Fear Factory. Long live Burton.

[@aiwa501]

Bro it's not Fear Factory without Burton C. Bell. You're an amazing guitar player and I'm sure whatever you do will be good but please move on. It might be time to re-brand instead of living in the past.

[@Salomon_G]

You're asking him to be a very stupid businessman. If you knew the full situation, you'd know he's doing what he has to do, and anything else would be foolish.

[@aiwa501]

@@Salomon_G You're assuming I don't know the full situation. Just because he won the rights to the name doesn't mean he should continue to use it when he's just 1/4 of what was known as Fear Factory.

[@Salomon_G]

[@Evoorhee]

I agree, but I am excited for the new material. Sad that it went bad but gotta do what you gotta do. Btw divine heresy was bad as with Vext

@aiwa501 thanks for trolling. No one's forcing you to listen to FF. maybe time for you to move on.
