Fear Factory Shares Their First New Single in Five Years – “Roboticist”


For more than three decades, industrial metal pioneers Fear Factory have explored the friction between man and machine, tracing the rise of artificial intelligence and humanity’s loss of control over its own creations.

The band launches a bold new era with “Roboticist.” The latest single, which premiered on SiriusXM Liquid Metal, marks the recording debut of the band’s current lineup featuring vocalist Milo Silvestro, drummer Pete Webber, and bassist Tony Campos.

Let Us Prey Premiere New Single and Video “In Nameless Blood”


Let Us Prey unveils their explosive new single, “In Nameless Blood,” marking the next chapter for the band led by vocalist Marc Lopes (ex-Metal Church, Ross the Boss). Following his high-profile 2025 departure from Metal Church, where he fronted the chart-topping Congregation Of Annihilation, Lopes has returned to his primary creative force.

Starting in Boston as a two-man metal machine alongside Jon Morency (Living Wreckage), Let Us Prey has evolved into a full-scale powerhouse. The band describes its sound as “Cyber Tech Thrash Core,” a collision of modern metal, thrash intensity, industrial programming, and symphonic textures. Precision drumming and crushing down-tuned riffs anchor the music, while Lopes unleashes a staggering vocal range—shifting from guttural growls to soaring, Halford-inspired highs. Check out “In Nameless Blood” below!

Thursday

So, here we are again. Another year, another Bloodstock Open Air, another pilgrimage to the hallowed turf of Catton Hall. This time, however, things feel a little different. Perhaps it’s because the festival sold out in record time, thus creating a palpable sense of relief among many of the fans.
