Fear Factory Is A Tighter Unit Without Dino According To Drummer

Fear Factory drummer Raymond Herrera spoke with Time Off magazine about the band's brief split in 2002, and reforming a few months later without founding member Dino Cazares. "There were personal issues between Dino and the rest of the band which just got worse and worse over time," Herrera confided. "Basically we couldn't go on like we were and something had to give. It was a terrible situation, personally and professionally. I mean, I was friends with Dino since we were 18, and now I haven't spoken to him in three years. Still, in a way, that schism ensured our long-term survival. Fear Factory is now a tighter unit and a more efficient songwriting team."

probably just had different ideas for how the band should progress. digimortal seemed like it wanted to reach a wider audience but ended up worse because of it. the newer (and older) stuff is far better in my opinion.

With the exception for the song School, Archetype is still my favorite of theirs.
