Fear Factory have released a new track titled “ProtoMech” which is taken from the bands upcoming album “Genexus” and set to be released on August 07 through Nuclear Blast.
Frontman Burton C. Bell mentioned the following regarding the track:
“I was reading about Ray Kurzweil‘s theory of ‘The Singularity,’ [the era when machines become sentient], and thinking about Blade Runner and the Rutger Hauer character Roy Batty. [Director] Ridley Scott really touched upon empathy in that movie because the only ones who feel anything are the androids. The humans are totally disconnected. That got me thinking about what would happen to these machines when they developed empathy and started looking after one another.”
