New Interview: Burton C Bell – Metal Album of the Year Winner

The 2015 Metal/Alternative album of the year countdown is done and dusted and standing above all after it was all said and done was none other than Fear Factory with the amazing “Genexus” which was released on August 7th. Fear Factory have been ripping up live shows and releasing epic albums since the early 90’s earning themselves the label of one of the world’s best metal acts and visiting Australia over 20 times!

Genexus sees them return to their best and we catch up with front man and Underground favourite Burton C Bell to discuss the album and how it compares to other FF releases in his books. Plus Burt lets us know about the shady goings on in the now failed Soundwave Festival, the possibility of working with new artists (out of the box), we get an update on his side projects Ascension of the Watchers, find out if there will be any more graphic novels , tour updates and just when will they follow up Genexus?
