Fear Factory + Hate + Other Shite Support Dublin/Belfast 5th/6th October

[Carnage]

They were originally called Angst Fabrik, must have decided that was a bit on the nose.

While I'm guilty of this in my own right, notably by being somewhat hopeful that Towards The Sinister might prove to capture some of the essence of early MDB- the darkness and grit which was lost along the way, I find something vaguely desperate and depressing in a lot of these kinds of quasi- reunions. Wouldn't it be interesting if the two boys came up with a whole new take on the style and sound that we know them for?  But let's be honest- what are the chances! And I suppose that misses the point of the exercise, but really... will this just become FF vs. FF2??

[Carnage]

They already tried it with that Arkaea album a few years ago, and that was crap. I can't see this being much cop but given how bad that new 'Fear Factory' song is, could it be much worse?

[Eoin McLove]

I somehow managed to miss that one 

[Carnage]

You didn't miss much. See also: Divine Heresy, Dino's FF clone when he was out of the band.
