Fear Factory have launched a lyric video for their track Soul Hacker, taken from ninth album Genexus.
The follow-up to 2012’s The Industrialist will be released on August 7 via Nuclear Blast, with a guest appearance from Journey drummer Deen Castronovo.
Guitarist Dino Cazares says: “We chose Soul Hacker for the first single because it’s heavy, catchy and has a lot of groove.
“You can really hear the aggression in Burton C Bell’s vocals on this one – not to mention on the entire album. We think people are really going to love this song and record. It’s varied, melodic, aggressive and heavy.”
He adds: “We wanted to make it a little more interesting than your typical lyric video, so we included some live footage of the band from our last few tours and images of ourselves performing the song on TV screens.”
The live band lineup is rounded out by drummer Mike Heller and bassist Tony Campos, who replaced Matt Devries in April. Fear Factory are about to tour Europe with North American dates to follow:
