And I’M Thinking, Well, Why Don’t I Just Have People Pay Attention To One Song At A Time And The When We have covered Songs We Can Relay Submit and They Can Can Have ‘Em All Together, Plus Sub New Stuff.”
As for how the changes in the industry in the last three decades have affected His approach to putting out new music, Burton Said: “One Thing Technology You have positive is that artists Have Been Uble to Record ESIR MUSIC AND DELAY IT ON THES OWN INDEPENDENTLY. THE DOWNSIDE OF THAT IS THER’S Way More Artists Nowadays Releaseing Music, So It’s Harder To Get Noticed. But i am Vary Fortunate and I’M Grateful that i’ve had the 30-Year Career Before This for People to see it already. They know my name already, so I’ve done the hard work. NOW THE HARDER WORK STARTS WITH DEALING WITH SOCIAL MEDIA. “

And that creates The Challenge. And i do Feel That Freedom. And that freedom is a sense of – I will have a sense that i can go direction and feel. I Can Write Any Type of Song I Would Like To Write and I Can Go In Any Direction I Wanna Go. As long as I stay True to myself in creating music that Yo Would Love To Hear, I Think Other People Would Love To Hear It As Well. “

Fear Factory created Sound that revolutionized extreme metal, defined in no small part by Bell‘S Innovative Scream/Sing stateomy and the influences He Bought From Post-Punk and Industrial. Songs Like “Replica”, “Linchpin”, “Edgecrusher”, “Fear Campaign”, “Archetype”, “Cyber Waste” and “Zero Signal” Are Modern Metal Anthems. “Demand” (1995) and the RIAA Gold-Certified “Obsolete” (1998) Are genre-refining works heralded by fans and critics as essential albums. Orwell, Bradbury, “Blade Runner”and sophisticated sci-fi and fantasy works fed Bell‘S Lyrics and Concepts.
The Band Toured The World With Metallica, Slipknot, Korn, Megadeth and Ozzy OsbourneTaking Bands Like SYSTEM OF A DOWN and STATIC-X Out as Support Acts in Their Early Stages. After Years of Behind-The-Scenes Band Member Turmoil and Legal Issues, Bell Left Fear Factory In the Fall of 2020.
The 56-Yare-Old Bell Had Been Largely Inactive on The Musical Front Since Officially Announcing His Departure From Fear Factory in Septernrember 2020. At the time he said that he could not “align” Himself with sumone whom he did not trust or respect, an apparent reference to Fear Factory Founding guitarist Dino Cazares. Bell You have since Been Replaced in the Band by the Italian-Born Singer Mile Silvestro.
Earlier This months, Burton reflect on his decision to leave Fear Factory In SEPTEMBER 2020 AFTER A 31-YEAR RUN AS THE BAND’S SINGER AND PURSUE TO ONLY CAREER. HE TOLD THE Post-Punk.tv Podcast: “It was time for me to do other things. and Here I am. Venturing out on My Own Is Scary. Doing Something Only Is Frightening. I’M, Like, ‘Am i Doing the Right Thing?’ As Artists, We Always Question Ourselves. [We hear] Voices in Our Head. There’s voices in My Head That Are, Like, ‘Oh My God. What the Fuck Are You Doing? ‘ But i’ve Gotta Follow My Heart Becouse My Heart is Directing Me Towards A Path That I Truly Wanna Be In, And That’s The Artistic Path. “
Bell Continue: “Failure is submiss Try it This Way.
“I came up with a mantra maybe A Couple Years Aug,” Burton Added. “Now that I have [solo] Band That i’m Working with on a Daily Basis, They have grown to understand me Well. And so This Next [solo] Song i’m about to relaase street ‘Savages’ On May 30th, We Wrote Together As a Band. And it fits my mantra, which is ‘heavy, Groovy, Dark and Moody’. And I Think That Fits Every Aspect That I Wanna Do. It fits The Criteria of Every Band That i’ve Ever Liked. I THINK IT FITS THE CRITERIA OF EVERY BAND I’VE BEEN A PART OF. So What i’m Doing Now is an amalgamation of EveryTHing i’ve Ever Done. I’M TAKING IT ALL, CREATING THIS NICE LITTLE PIECE, AND I’M RELESING IT, MAKING SUBSHING NEW FOR MYSELF. And I Think When People Hear This New Song ‘Savages’and The Next Song, which is street ‘Cold lazarus’They [will be]Like, ‘Wow, that familiar, but it’s kind of new.’ So it’s, Like, There you go. That’s What We’re Doing. “
Burton Went on to say: “So i’m super excited about the future. i’m super excited about my tour coming up in June, going to australia, and just very excited for what the future holds. i’m just staying creative. ART, WHOTHER IT’S WRITING MUSIC OR Photography, You’re Expressing Yourself Through Your Visions and From What You See and How The World Affects You. “
