Jesus - Replica indeed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSU9csON9WE
I enjoy FF, I've never had any expectations of them to do anything beyond what their sthick is. For some reason it fits the whole brand to continue with a replica vocalist :laugh: it's uncanny valley when listening. The song is much aligned to a more modern sounding mesh of mechanize / obsolete.
Got a bit creeped out scrolling through the comments on YT to see the same bot like responses scattered throughout "fear factory are finally fear factorying" "this slaps" but maybe people are just generic with their replies I can't tell anymore :laugh:
I enjoy them too, first two are still favourites of mine. Then there's a banger here and there like Mechanize. Archetype wasn't bad either. They've their own sound and you get what you get.
This however felt a bit Temu, video comical too. The new vocalist comes across a bit sad with all the burtonisms
I'm going to listen to it without looking at the video and see what I think here
Yeah it's sort of I Can't Believe It's Not Fear Factory without looking at the video. There's a bit of difference in the melodic vocals but it's tiny.
I think it's grand actually but I like a fair bit of the discography already
Absolutely shite.
The song's not very good and the video's cringeworthy in the extreme, but I Can't Believe It's Not Burton does a decent job of cloning Bell. About bloody time they put out something new, even if it is by the numbers.
I didn't watch the video at all. I'd seen a clip on Twitter like not even 30 seconds and I knew I'd never be able to look at it
I remember Dino giving Christian shit for copying his guitar style on Archetype, and then he hires a Burt replica
New song sounds like generic Fear Factory, could've been on any of their last couple of albums
