DINO CAZARES Says FEAR FACTORY Is Missing 'Hunger And Passion'

September 7, 2007

MTV.com reports that former FEAR FACTORY guitarist Dino Cazares' new band DIVINE HERESY has only played a few live shows together but plans to kick off its first tour this month in Mexico. After that, DIVINE HERESY will head out with STATIC-X and SHADOWS FALL for a tour that runs through much of the fall and early winter. Then they'll join CHIMAIRA on the road for a trek that will keep them busy until Christmas. In early 2008, the band will head back out on the road, but the guitarist didn't reveal with whom. Cazares said the band does plan on playing some FEAR FACTORY material during its sets — even though he has no love for his former band.

"In the long run, I believe I came out the winner, and I feel that they have bastardized the name, and it's a completely different band, different style," he said of the group, which is carrying on despite Cazares' departure in 2002. "I definitely carried the passion in that band, and my riffs, my style, they were very distinctive. I don't regret anything I created in FEAR FACTORY whatsoever. It will be part of my memory for the rest of my life. I believe I am continuing the legacy and keeping this metal torch alive and bringing it back with DIVINE HERESY. You can feel the hunger and passion in DIVINE HERESY, which I believe FEAR FACTORY has been missing, and is still missing to this day.

"DIVINE HERESY will be a band that will develop into something even greater, the more input these guys have and the more we all start playing together, and the more we get out on the road, living it, breathing for it," he continued. "I think the sophomore LP will be something massive."
