Days ahead of kicking off a North American tour with Static-X, Fear Factory have revealed Milo Silvestro as their new lead singer.
Silvestro joins the industrial metal vets in place of co-founding vocalist Burton C. Bell, who quit the band in 2020. Despite the departure, Bell's vocals were heard on the band's most recent album, 2021's Aggression Continuum.
"This is a huge opportunity for me, 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," Silvestro shared in a statement. "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."
Guitarist Dino Cazares added, "The search was long and meticulous, but I know for sure we got the right guy."
Below, you'll find a mini-doc celebrating Silvestro's arrival alongside Fear Factory's complete 2023 North American tour itinerary. The band and their newly-minted vocalist will visit Canada three times on the trek, making stops in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal.
