Fear Factory Unveil ‘The Industrialist’ Video

Frazer Harrison, Getty Images Fear Factory  released their latest album ‘The Industrialist’ in June, and the band has now premiered the video for the title track via Metal Injection (watch below). The beginning of the seven minute clip is similar to a lyric video, with words from the spoken section appearing on the screen. But once the song kicks in, it becomes a traditional video that mixes performance footage with imagery taken from the album artwork. Vocalist Burton C. Bell talked about ‘The Industrialist’ with Full Metal Jackie. “There’s something so tight about this record, it’s very natural even though it was a focused and a very deliberate album that we were writing and it all came very naturally to us,” Bell said. “We were very focused and I think that word right there, is the one thing that is on this record that doesn’t really appear on any other record, the focus of the music, the sounds, the aggression and the concept and just everything. Everything had it’s purpose and we knew exactly what we were doing, we knew exactly what we had to do.” Fear Factory will embark on a European tour with Devin Townsend beginning on Saturday, Oct. 27. They also have one U.S. date scheduled for Jan. 26, 2013, in West Hollywood. Watch Fear Factory’s ‘The Industrialist’ Video
