Fear Factory’s Dino Cazares Says The Band’s New Material Will Focus On The Impact Of Artificial Intelligence

During a recent interview with KLAQ, Fear Factory guitarist Dino Cazares discussed the new material that the band are working on for their next album. According to him, the new songs will focus on the impact of artificial intelligence.

Cazares said the following:

“We’re definitely gonna be doing a new record early next year and have it out sometime mid-next year. And we will continue the theme of what FEAR FACTORY is about — the relationship between man and technology and where that’s gonna take us. ‘Cause now we have a whole new influx of AI [artificial intelligence] and how much AI is effecting change in our day-to-day life. I mean, you see all the strikes over here in Los Angeles — the writers’ strike. And now there’s gonna be actors and the video game industry who are gonna be also striking as well. So it’s gonna get crazy because AI is definitely changing where we are headed as people.

Ever since our ‘Obsolete’ record, we’ve always been talking about change, we’ve always been talking about how certain things, because of technology, is gonna become obsolete. So it’s very interesting to see what’s gonna happen with the movie industry and the video game industry, to see where that’s gonna go. And that’s kind of what we’re gonna be singing about in our new record — just where AI is gonna take us and how it’s gonna affect us in our day-to-day lives. So, we’ll see. We’ll see where this goes.”
