This weekend inside Hangar 19 we are honoring the fallen Ministry and Rigor Mortis guitarist. Mike was 47 years old and passed away after a heart attack while playing on stage with Rigor Mortis.

SHOCKWAVE TOUR FEATURING FEAR FACTORY AND VOIVOD HAS BEEN CANCELED

05 Jul 2012 -

Metalheads all over the United States were looking forward to the inaugural run of the Shockwave tour, which was scheduled to launch tomorrow (Friday, July 6th).

Unfortunately, the tour has now been cancelled at the 11th hour, leaving Fear Factory and the other bands set to be featured on the run in search of new summer touring plans.

Fear Factory issued the following statement:

“We are truly disappointed not to be part of the Shockwave tour. We send our sincerest apologies to all our North American fans planning to come out this summer, but we will be back. Please look for Fear Factory headlining dates in August.”

Apparently, low ticket sales for the trek were among the factors which ultimately led to the tour cancellation. Other bands on the tour included Voivod, Cattle Decapitation, Misery Index, Havok, Last Chance To Reason and The Browning.

Prior to the tour cancellation, Voivod pulled out and tour organizers decided to shelve it.

“It is with great disappointment that we have to make this announcement. With the recent departure of Voivod from the Shockwave Festival lineup, as well as low advance ticket sales, we have decided to pull the plug on the Shockwave Festival. For purchases made with a credit card, your card will automatically be refunded. All other refunds are available at point of purchase. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.”

We’ll look forward to future tour details from Fear Factory, who will be touring in support of their recent release The Individualist. We recently had the chance to speak with frontman Burton C. Bell about the album and you can listen to that entire interview here.

INTERVIEW: BURTON C. BELL OF FEAR FACTORY

20 Jun 2012 -

Fear Factory vocalist Burton C. Bell drops in on Hangar 19 to talk about the new Fear Factory album The Industrialist.

Our conversation covered a lot of ground, including the new album itself. It seems natural that there could be a movie waiting to happen within the album’s storyline…..but what does Burton think about that?

Burton also recalls a memorable touring experience playing OzzFest with Pantera and Marilyn Manson. Sometimes, it’s a sight for sore eyes…and sometimes, there are some things that just make your eyes sore!

Bell is notably the only member of Fear Factory who has been on every Fear Factory album, so we took that as an opportunity to really dissect the history of the band with Burton.
