Fear Factory are gearing up to celebrate a major milestone. This May, the gold-certified industrial metal legends will mark their 35th anniversary with a run of headlining dates across Australia, announcing the Cybernetic Domination: 35 Years Of Fear Tour — their first trek in the region in more than ten years.
The tour not only commemorates over three decades of relentless innovation at the intersection of man and machine, but also signals a renewed era for the band. As previously reported, Fear Factory are currently preparing their eleventh studio album, due later this year and set to be their first release since welcoming vocalist Milo Silvestro into the fold in 2023.

For longtime fans Down Under, the timing couldn't be better. "The Machine returns," the band declared in a statement announcing the tour. "Our first full Australian tour in 10 years and for the FIRST TIME EVER, Fear Factory will invade Tasmania."
"This is more than a tour," the statement continued. "This is a celebration of 35 years of Fear We've Manufactured Demanufactured and Remanufactured Cybernetic Domination. Man, Machine, Metal."
