According to Blabbermouth, Los Angeles cyber metallers Fear Factory are prearing to release a video for the title track of their new album, "The Industrialist". The clip, which will contain footage from this past June's Graspop Metal Meeting in Dessel, Belgium, was helmed by James Zahn, the man responsible for creating the "The Industrialist" album trailer (see below).
"The Industrialist" sold 9,300 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 38 on The Billboard 200 chart. The band's previous CD, "Mechanize", opened with 10,000 units back in February 2010 to land at No. 72.
Released in North America on June 5 via Candlelight Records, "The Industrialist" is a conceptual record based around a story written by Burton C. Bell. Lyrics to the album's ten songs divulge the narrative as discussed recently by Bell with Decibel magazine. The album's artwork was created by American designer Anthony Clarkson with additional direction from the band. The album was made available on three formats ? standard CD, a limited edition deluxe digi-book (featuring two additional songs), and 180-gram double vinyl.
Fear Factory recently enlisted Matt DeVries as the band's new bass player. DeVries, previously of Chimaira (where he played guitar) and most recently Six Feet Under, joined Fear Factory as the replacement for Byron Stroud (now with 3 Inches Of Blood). Fear Factory also tapped Mike Heller (Malignancy, System Divide) as its new touring drummer.
