Industrial metal veterans Fear Factory have brought their new single “Detonizer” to the stage in Nashville, Tennessee. The performance follows the track’s release earlier this week and offers fans another opportunity to hear material from the band’s forthcoming studio album, “Roboticist”.
The song was officially released on November 10 alongside the announcement that “Roboticist” will arrive on April 9, 2027 through Nuclear Blast Records. The record is the first Fear Factory studio album to feature vocalist Milo Silvestro and drummer Pete Webber, who joined guitarist Dino Cazares and bassist Tony Campos in the band’s current lineup.
The new material continues the group’s longstanding interest in dystopian technology, artificial intelligence and the uneasy relationship between humanity and machines. The single combines mechanical guitar rhythms, aggressive vocals and electronic textures associated with the band’s signature sound.
The album’s eleven tracks are:
1. Roboticist
2. Decentralization
3. Detonizer
4. Eradicator
5. Welcome To The Factory
6. Unsynthesizable
7. No Blood No Flesh
8. Synthetic Savior
9. Neural Infection Scanner
10. De-Extinction
11. Fragments
The album was produced, engineered, mixed and mastered by Damien Rainaud at Mix Unlimited. The artwork was created by Jean-Baptiste Robilliard of Rhubarbes Lab.
The Nashville performance comes during the band’s November 2026 US touring activity, which includes a co-headlining run with Mushroomhead and a subsequent leg supported by Darkest Hour and Brotality. The live shows are introducing audiences to the newer lineup and its upcoming material.

Founded in Los Angeles in 1989, Fear Factory helped pioneer a distinctive style combining industrial electronics, death metal aggression and tightly synchronized rhythmic guitars. Their albums “Demanufacture”, “Obsolete” and “Digimortal” became influential releases in industrial and alternative metal.
After original vocalist Burton C. Bell departed in 2020, the band introduced Italian singer Milo Silvestro in 2023. His arrival marked the beginning of a new chapter that is now reaching the studio with “Roboticist”.
The Nashville performance of “Detonizer” offers an early live glimpse of that new chapter ahead of the album’s release next spring.
