Due to reasons beyond the band’s control, FEAR FACTORY will not be taking part in this Summer’s Shockwave Tour, slated to commence July 6 in Seattle.
Commented the band in a collective statement: “We are truly disappointed not to be part of the Shockwave tour. We send our sincerest apologies to all our North American fans planning to come out this Summer, but we will be back. Please look for FEAR FACTORY headline dates in August.”
FEAR FACTORY recently unleashed their latest full-length, The Industrialist, Stateside on June 5 via Candlelight Records. Commended by Revolver in a 4/5 review for offering up “the same pulsating, angry urgency of old…nicely counterbalanced by some incredibly deft melodies,” called “…a well-orchestrated montage of universal agitation and despair,” by Alarm, and crowned “…their most aggressive offering to date,” by Exclaim, The Industrialist is the second album written by vocalist Burton C. Bell and guitarist Dino Cazares since reuniting in 2009 after a seven-year split.

July 5, 2012fuck yeah. fear factory at bandcamp! that wuld be brutal.
hollownote
July 5, 2012that’s pretty fucking lame for them to cancel two days before the
show. typical. I bet they only sold 10 tickets.
What are they thinking being on a tour with 10 other bands? Come up
here with ONE other band and play a proper venue not a dirt bar on a
gravel/pit with 10 other groups.
Seriously, Studio Seven? That is where the Junior High school bands PAY to play and beg for their best friends to show up.
SENSORY DEFECT
July 5, 2012WAS SO PSYCHED TO PLAY WITH YOU GUYS @ THE LONG ISLAND N.Y. SHOW…BUMMER…:( WILL THERE BE A MAKE UP DATE AT A DIFFERENT VENUE IN AUG???
Kris

July 6, 2012Went to check your tour dates and saw you’re playing at the Gathering of Juggalos. Wow, I think this might be a new low for Fear Factory. Just what I want to do, go see Fear Factory with a bunch of face-painted Silly Billys.

July 8, 2012Beyond disapointed, that weekend was slated for Soulfly-Fear Factory-Soulfly in Tempe and Tucson August 2,3,&4……would have been one of the best show-roadtrips ever. damn.
Lovely
July 9, 2012RE: Fear Factory playing @ smaller venues-….. Who’s complaining?!
I believe it makes it a more personal show, & it says a lot about the band
Too. If they love what they do, & appreciate their fans, then it’s alright to
Play small venues once in a while. So enjoy while u have a chance!

July 10, 2012well I was sad to see that ff was playing on my birthday and I didn’t even know about it..so I guess I’m happy, from a purely selfish place, that the show didn’t happen….but that does suck quite a bit….at least I should be able to see them when they come back around though
Dustin
July 10, 2012Such a disappointment
come back to MN please……..

July 10, 2012While this news does suck hardcore, as I was looking forward to that tour, now my band APOTHESARY will be opening for them in Fresno for one of the rescheduled headlining dates.
See you fuckers August 1st!

July 13, 2012ARE YOU FCKN KIDDING ME??!! The show in Toronto is in 2 days Sat July 14th and I’m just finding this out now… What a letdown indeed!! I’m curious to know…Was anyone here actually notified of the cancellation or just found out by going to a website??? I was on Inertia’s website checking out any upcoming/new gigs and saw Shockwave was cancelled..And now here. No email no nothing. We would’ve ended up at the Opera House with no clue…Fck Saaakes. Also, can someone please tell me that I can’t read and I’m blind as a bat because there ACTUALLY IS a new scheduled Toronto show in the “Tour Date” section??!! ANYWHERE IN CANADA FOR THAT MATTER??!! Someone pls tell me I need glasses… What the Fck…
Matthew
July 13, 2012Ticket Master should have sent you an email and phoned you indicating the show was cancelled. If you bought it from the TM website that is.
I don’t see any mention of ANY Canadian shows, however.

July 14, 2012You got that right. NO RESCHEDULED TORONTO SHOW!!!! This has made me think twice about remaining a loyal fan after 20 years. I have been at every show since demanufacture with Ozzy at the Kool Haus. Burton and Dino this is no way to treat long time fans that want to attend another brutal show.

July 13, 2012Hellyes! FF will play the Marquee in Tempe on August 3 after all!!!!!
