Well over a year since Dino Cazares confirmed that he’d found the new vocalist for Fear Factory (following Burton C. Bell’s departure in September 2020), the band have finally unveiled their new member.

Milo Silvestro has joined the band on vocals ahead of Fear Factory’s U.S. tour with Static X, which kicks off on February 25. “It’s time to introduce the world to our new vocalist,” announces Dino. “The search was long and meticulous, but I know for sure we got the right guy.

“It is a big week for us in Fear Factory as we make our final preparations for our return to the live stage touring across the U.S., beginning February 25 on the Rise Of The Machine tour. We can’t wait to get out on the road and start kicking some ass.”

“This is a huge opportunity for me,” continues Milo. “I’ve been a fan of the band for many years and it feels very surreal but I’m excited to be part of it. I know I have some massive shoes to fill but I’m here to do it in the best way possible and give justice to the vocal legacy of this legendary band.”
