Dino Cazares Rules Out Fear Factory Reunion
Metal-Rules.com recently conducted an interview with former FEAR FACTORY and current DIVINE HERESY guitarist Dino Cazares. A few excerpts from the chat follow:
Metal-Rules.com: I gotta ask the question about FEAR FACTORY. Is the relationship with Raymond and the rest of the guys still strained or are there any improvements on that?
Dino: No, I don't want to play nu-metal anymore. Just kidding. No, I don't want to talk to them anymore. After all the legal battles and stupid shit that went on…nah. I got a new band. I don't really need to look back to that but at the same time, I don't regret anything that I created in FEAR FACTORY because to this day, bands are still influenced by it and still love it. There's a band called EPICA. They got a female singer and they just covered "Replica" on their album ["The Divine Conspiracy"].
Metal-Rules.com: That would be interesting with a female singer.
Dino: It actually sounds pretty good. It was on their MySpace page for a while. It still influences a lot of people to this day and I think that's cool. I mean, I think that maybe FEAR FACTORY might have influenced nu-metal but I don't think we were nu-metal. I think that on "Digimortal", the band lost focus of what it was and we had other members in the band who wanted to write more. Previous to "Digimortal", it was always me and Raymond who wrote all the music. When "Digimortal" came around, the bass player, Christian [Olde Wolbers], was like, "I want to be more part of this band. I want to start writing for the band." I was against it. Raymond was for it. Burt was for it. Christian brought in a lot of hip-hop influence, which, for some reason, I still seem to get the blame for. I'm not a hip-hop guy and it just kind of went south. It was a good thing that it ended when it did because I was able to do things that I hadn't been able to do because of FEAR FACTORY. I was able to broaden my horizons and do other things. I was able to travel to other parts of the world that I'd never gone to. I was able to go back to my people with BRUJERIA and ASESINO and then, of course, create DIVINE HERESY.
Metal-Rules.com: So is "Bleed The Fifth" the type of album that you thought FEAR FACTORY should have gone towards instead of "Digimortal"?
Dino: Oh yeah. It was what I was fighting for. I think that's one of the things that definitely led us apart was because I was trying to put my foot down but kept getting pushed back in the corner by three dudes and they say a lot of the reason was because of personal reasons. To me, that's personal. When they don't want to do the music that I believed that we should have done, to me I take that very personally.
Metal-Rules.com: You were one of the founders of the band, too.
Dino: Yeah. Me and Raymond basically started the band together and the whole concept was we were going to be an extreme metal band and things kind of went different.
Metal-Rules.com: The ironic thing is that "Digimortal" actually sold pretty well, didn't it?
Dino: "Digimortal" actually sold very well. Even though it got a lot of slack for it, it sold quite well across the world.
Metal-Rules.com: Do you think the fact that the band's sound branched out contributed to those extra sales?
Dino: Extra sales, no. We didn't do extra sales. "Obsolete" was our biggest-selling record to date but "Digimortal" was right behind that. It wasn't a failure. It was a failure as far as what the fans expected.
Metal-Rules.com: Yeah and the label probably.
Dino: No, the label was still behind it but as far as what the fans expected, no. But it still sold well and it kind of got us to different people because different songs that were on the record were on the radio. When you're on radio, you're going to reach different people besides metal kids and that's pretty much what happened with that. But like I said, it wasn't a failure but it was a failure in the sense of we didn't please our fans. I knew that when the record came out. It was really hard to do interviews on that record because no matter what you do, you have to back up what you do. But even though I wasn't really happy, that's what we had to do. I saw things going south. When we were making the record, the guys in the band weren't even talking to me because I was being an asshole because I wanted to go in a heavier direction. I thought that we needed to go back to how we were on "Demanufacture". I felt like we needed to go back to that and they didn't.
Metal-Rules.com: Do you wish that you would have left the band before "Digimortal" and not had your name attached to the record at all?
Dino: No! I'm not disappointed at all. There are still some good songs on that record. I don't regret anything that I created. I just regret letting other people write. I regret letting the label take control. The label would suggest "You know, we need to write more commercial songs," and "We need to use these kinds of producers," and stuff like that. I was like, "Oh my God. What are we doing? It's not going to work. We're not this kind of band," and it just got worse. It got worse. It got out of control. It got very out of control.
Metal-Rules.com: And then after "Digimortal" came out, FEAR FACTORY wasn't with Roadrunner anymore.
Dino: Yeah, but I still was. They got dropped.
Metal-Rules.com: When I first heard some of the tracks on "Archetype", it sounded like you were still in the band.
Dino: Well, they had to do that. They had to prove to the fans that they could still continue without me. So basically, who better person to mimic what I had started than Christian? Christian pretty much learned from me. Learned my style. Learned the FEAR FACTORY style and was able to emulate what I had created already. When I first popped in "Archetype", I thought it was me for a second. I thought it was me. I'm like, "This guy does me well!" The first song ["Slave Labor"]….I thought it was "Shock"! Exactly those same riffs. I was even thinking in my head, "Could I sue for someone ripping off my riffs?" (laughs) But at the same time I'm like, wait a minute. I'm suing my own band because I am legally still a shareholder of FEAR FACTORY. Legally I still get paid. Legally, whatever they put out, they still pay me a quarter of their percentage. So even if Christian started ripping off my riffs, I'll have to sue myself because FEAR FACTORY is a corporation and I'm a quarter shareholder of the corporation. So if I sue the corporation, I'd be suing myself (laughs). So I was like, "Okay, just let it go." Just be happy, sit back, collect a check and shut up. (laughs)
Metal-Rules.com: Is there any chance down the line that you guys might get back together? I mean SEPULTURA, VAN HALEN. Who ever thought VAN HALEN would get back together and now they got a big world tour lined up…
Dino: But VAN HALEN's not really back together.
Metal-Rules.com: Well yeah I guess. Michael Anthony's not in there is he?
Dino: Yeah and SEPULTURA's not back together, either. They can talk about it all they want. But Andreas Kisser is saying, "I want us four to get back together." Us four, not us five. You know who they mean when they say us five?
Metal-Rules.com: Max's wife/manager, Gloria?
Dino: Yeah, Max's manager. Andreas wants them to get back as buddies and as friends. You know, us four, not us five.
Metal-Rules.com: Right, and that's the problem.
Dino: That's the problem.
Metal-Rules.com: So you're saying the chapter is closed on FEAR FACTORY?
Dino: No, I'm never going to go back. For what? If DIVINE HERESY becomes successful, even half the success that FEAR FACTORY was, I'd be happy.
Divine Heresy Guitarist Talks Style Change
KNAC.com spoke with former FEAR FACTORY guitarist Dino Cazares about his new project DIVINE HERESY recently. A few excerpts from the chat can be found below:
KNAC.com: I think people can’t help associating you with Fear Factory because you were an integral part of the band, and that’s the group you’re best known for playing with.
Cazares: "As far as the sound and the riffs, yeah, that was me. But I try to take a new approach with every project that I do. I didn’t want this band to be a cyber-metal type of thing. I didn’t want to be singing about robots and all the sci-fi stuff that’s going on in Fear Factory, and I didn’t want to have a lot of keyboards and samples. I didn’t want an industrial album. So it differs in that way, and also because there are also guitar solos on this record. That’s a lot different than what I did when I was in Fear Factory. It wasn’t that I couldn’t play solos, it was just that it wasn’t called for. It was a different style of band. Most people do know me from Fear Factory, and that’s why a lot of people have to compare it. But I think a lot of people get confused between then and now. The people who love Fear Factory and want to hear a little bit of Fear Factory will be turned off by it if I do too much to make it sound that way. And if I don’t do enough, they’ll be turned off by it, too. So I’m kind of like a rock in a hard place.
I wanted it to have a good balance of a lot of things I do. BRUJERIA and ASESINO are death metal bands. Divine Heresy is not a death metal band, but there are elements of death metal in the music. That’s cool. But another thing that confuses people is that because of the musicians involved, they think that it’s going to be a death metal band. Then those people may be disappointed because there’s not enough death metal in it for them. But we please ourselves first with our music. If it’s true to my heart and it’s true to what I do, then that’s all that matters. I think that once people get past the Fear Factory comparison and understand that this is not Fear Factory or a death metal band, then they’ll love it. They’ll realize that this is a really good fucking metal band with a lot of versatility."
KNAC.com: What were the greatest challenges of putting together the band and making the record?
Cazares: "In putting the band together, the biggest challenge was finding the time. I didn’t have a lot of time. I was doing too many projects. I was in two bands, Brujeria and Asesino, and then I was a team captain for the Roadrunner All Stars. So putting together the band was the greatest challenge. As far as making the record, there really wasn’t much of a challenge. It was a fun record to make, and even though Tommy Vext was the new kid on the block, he was definitely not green. He knew what he was doing. He was very well prepared. He’s one of those guys who rehearsed in his bedroom every day, dreaming of this moment. So when he had his chance, he pulled his weight and did a great job."
KNAC.com: In what ways has your guitar playing style changed?
Cazares: "My style has definitely evolved. I’m doing solos and there are a lot more riffs. There’s a lot more guitar work going on. With Fear Factory, I wasn’t doing much soloing. Solos were kind of dead at that time, but now solos are huge. The main thing that’s changed about me as a player is that I’m doing more solos. One of the other things is that my speed has increased immensely because Tim Yeung plays really fast. It can be pretty difficult at times to keep up with the drums, so I definitely had to build up my picking speed. It wasn’t that I couldn’t play fast, but I practiced with Tim to build up the endurance. The music we’re playing has more riffs and it’s much more intricate than what I was doing in Fear Factory. At times, Fear Factory was very simple and very stripped down. For me, this music has a much stronger attitude. This is my coming-back record, and I feel that I have a lot to prove.'

Shadows Fall Announces Two Tour Changes
Shadows Fall has announced two date changes on the upcoming Operation Annihilation tour, a co-headlining trek with Static X also featuring 3 Inches of Blood and Divine Heresy. The two dates both concern House of Blues venues positioned on property owned by the Walt Disney company.
The October 20 date to take place at House of Blues in Orlando, FL has been cancelled, and the October 31 date has moved from the House of Blues in Anaheim, CA to the Galaxy Theatre in Santa Ana, CA.
Shadows Fall frontman, Brian Fair, recently posted the following message on the band's MySpace page:
"Well my friends, it is sad to say but it looks like Mickey can't handle the metal. We have been informed that the Disney company has decided to cancel all metal shows taking place at the House Of Blues on Disney property in both Anaheim CA. and Orlando FL. I for one am surprised that Disney isn't down with the metal. After all, what is more metal than freezing the decapitated head of your founder and having secret security death squads lurking beneath the underworld of an amusement park? This is a huge disappointment for us as we have always had amazing sold out shows at both clubs. We will be moving the Anaheim show to the Galaxy in Santa Ana, and cancelling the Orlando date completely. In the meantime try and synch up your copies of Reign In Blood with any animated Disney classic. Maybe the combination with re-animate old Walt from his cryogenic state and have him get metal back in these clubs!!!"
Ticketholders to the Orlando, FL show will be eligible for refunds. Plans are in the works for a new show in Orlando at another location. Stay tuned for details. Tickets for the October 31 Anaheim, CA show will now be honored at the new venue in Santa Ana.
Dino Cazares Talks Playing Fear Factory Live Again
Blasting-Zone.com recently caught up with DIVINE HERESY / ex-FEAR FACTORY guitarist Dino Cazares. The following is an excerpt from the interview:
Q: What was the main inspiration behind the name Divine Heresy? It would seem it’s exact origin and meaning have caused more than a little confusion…
Dino: "In the Bible, divine is something that is big and God-like, and heresy is against that. If you’re talking about Christianity, it’s someone who speaks against Christianity. It’s like blasphemy, but blasphemy is more like cussin’ the church out. Heresy isn’t necessarily offensive, it’s just something against it. It’s kinda like good and evil. We’re not angry about Christianity, it’s just all about the battle between good and evil. It’s just a good story, that’s all that it is.”
Q: Overall, how would you describe your experiences working with (Bleed The Fifth producer and acclaimed former MACHINE HEAD / MEDICATION axeman) Logan Mader?
Dino: “Logan Mader was really cool. I stared working with him when we did the Roadrunner All Stars together. From there, we did some early demos with Divine Heresy and then I worked with him on the ASESINO record Cristo Satanic. Then we did some more demos for Divine Heresy, so it was only natural for me to use him for the whole album. It’s a co-producer thing. Basically, Logan and I co-produced it. My biggest challenge was finding the time. I’ve been so busy doing my other projects. I’ve been talkin’ about doin’ Divine Heresy since 2002. Ever since I’ve been out of FF, I’ve been talkin’ about doin’ it, ya know? But I was doing other stuff with BRUJERIA, Asesino and the Roadrunner All Stars. Finally, I said ‘Enough is enough with these projects. I need to put a real fuckin’ band together…’ If I want Divine Heresy to be a success, I really need to focus on it. This is what I really want to do right now.”
Q: Any idea what type of set list you’ll be working with? Any truth to the rumors that you’ll be including a Fear Factory song amid the set?
Dino: “That’s a good question. We’ve been thinkin’ about that a lot. We’ll definitely play the whole record, but the record’s only forty five minutes long, so we’ll need to add a couple of songs in there. We don’t exactly know what songs we’re gonna add, but… We actually have three B-Sides that we didn’t put on the record that we might do. We might do those songs live, I’m not sure. There’s been talk about us doing a Fear Factory song, but I don’t really know yet.”

Dino Cazares Claims Fear Factory Missing Passion
MTV.com reports that former FEAR FACTORY guitarist Dino Cazares' new band DIVINE HERESY has only played a few live shows together but plans to kick off its first tour this month in Mexico. After that, DIVINE HERESY will head out with STATIC-X and SHADOWS FALL for a tour that runs through much of the fall and early winter. Then they'll join CHIMAIRA on the road for a trek that will keep them busy until Christmas. In early 2008, the band will head back out on the road, but the guitarist didn't reveal with whom. Cazares said the band does plan on playing some FEAR FACTORY material during its sets — even though he has no love for his former band.
"In the long run, I believe I came out the winner, and I feel that they have bastardized the name, and it's a completely different band, different style," he said of the group, which is carrying on despite Cazares' departure in 2002. "I definitely carried the passion in that band, and my riffs, my style, they were very distinctive. I don't regret anything I created in FEAR FACTORY whatsoever. It will be part of my memory for the rest of my life. I believe I am continuing the legacy and keeping this metal torch alive and bringing it back with DIVINE HERESY. You can feel the hunger and passion in DIVINE HERESY, which I believe FEAR FACTORY has been missing, and is still missing to this day.
"DIVINE HERESY will be a band that will develop into something even greater, the more input these guys have and the more we all start playing together, and the more we get out on the road, living it, breathing for it," he continued. "I think the sophomore LP will be something massive."
Two More Shows Added To Shadows Fall Tour
Two more shows have been added to the Operation Annihilation Tour featuring Shadows Fall with Static-X, 3 Inches of Blood and Divine Heresy. The new tour dates are as follows:

Cazares states: "I began my musical career in Los Angeles and I felt that there was no better place to launch the debut release from my new band DIVINE HERESY than in my hometown. The Whisky is the perfect-sized venue for this record-release show so we can get close to the fans and give them the most intense performance we possibly can. This is going to be a night to remember, and we look forward to spending it with our closest friends and fans. We hope to see you all there, and we can't wait to hear people's reactions to the new material."
With the Aug. 28th release of the debut album from DIVINE HERESY quickly approaching, the group has launched a MySpace pre-order package. For only $11.99, fans can receive the band's debut CD, "Bleed the Fifth", an exclusive t-shirt and a DIVINE HERESY "PikCARD." The materials can be viewed and ordered at this location.
DIVINE HERESY recently shot a video with acclaimed director Christoffer "Salzy" Salzgeber (DAMAGEPLAN, SOULFLY) for the track "Failed Creation". Look for it to make its debut online later this month. Also expect a major U.S. fall touring announcement in the coming weeks.
DIVINE HERESY has also posted three new videos on their official YouTube page, which features Cazares and Tim Yeung (drums) jamming the track "Bleed the Fifth", in addition to an in-depth interview with Yeung.
