FEAR FACTORY's BURTON C. BELL Interviewed By DC HOTSPOTS (Video)

Sofia Samrad of DC Hotspots conducted an interview with vocalist Burton C. Bell of Los Angeles cyber metallers FEAR FACTORY on December 4 at The Fillmore in Silver Spring, Maryland. You can now watch the chat below.

FEAR FACTORY is currently on the road in North America as the support act for MEGADETH. Also appearing on the bill is NONPOINT.

The trek kicked off on November 23 in St. Paul, Minnesota and will conclude on December 19 in Reno, Nevada.

Asked whose idea it was to perform FEAR FACTORY's classic classic 1995 sophomore album, "Demanufacture", on the band's Australian tour, Burton C. Bell told The Rockpit: "It was kinda like a joke at first. Last time we were there for 'The Industrialist' on tour, we were playing a lot of tracks from 'Demanufacture', and we just thought, 'Why don't we just play the whole damn record?' and the promoter was, like, 'Oh, that's actually a great idea. We should plan it properly,' and blah blah blah, and just started talking about it. And we thought about it, and it was Australia that embraced FEAR FACTORY wholeheartedly first and so Australia was where we received our first silver and gold records for 'Demanufacture', so we figured that we'd go to Australia."

FEAR FACTORY will also perform "Demanufacture" in its entirety aboard the 2014 edition of the world's biggest heavy metal cruise — 70000 Tons Of Metal — which will sail January 27-31.

FEAR FACTORY's new album, "The Industrialist", sold 9,300 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 38 on The Billboard 200 chart. The band's previous CD, "Mechanize", opened with 10,000 units back in February 2010 to land at No. 72.
