Sea Of Tranquility (www.seaoftranquility.org) have issued a FEAR FACTORY gig review (from the band’s recent stop at Irving Plaza), combined with an interview with Burton C. Bell.

During the interview Burton states: “For me, I draw inspiration not really from metal, I’m all about melodies, but I draw influences from say NEUROSIS, who I still think are a great heavy band, as are MASTODON, and SLAYER. They are all great bands. I like industrial a lot. I also listen to a lot of older music too, like THE CARPENTERS for instance. Some fans always want FF to be death metal, and most fans will get the new album, but some just won’t. A few years ago Death Metal was just huge, and you had all these great labels and bands, but like everything else it gets over saturated. So many bands sound the same to me today.”
