Fear Factory guitarist Dino Cazares has addressed former bassist Christian Olde Wolbers’ new band name choice on X. Wolbers recently announced ‘Angst Fabrik’ as the working title for his new project. The name translates to ‘Fear Factory’ in German.
“Fear Factory in German ‘Angstfabrik’ or Fear Factory in Spanish ‘Fabrica de Miedo.’ Which one do you like better?” Cazares had posted in 2020. “I guess asking this backfired on me,” he now adds, addressing the situation.
This exchange highlights recent developments in the metal scene following the band’s internal conflicts.
Legal Background
Loudwire reveals that Cazares gained full rights to the Fear Factory name after a significant legal battle. This resolution enables him to continue using the band name for his current musical projects.
The legal dispute involved several former band members. Wolbers and vocalist Burton C. Bell were key figures in this significant chapter of the band’s history.
New Project Details
The PRP confirms that Wolbers’ new project Angst Fabrik is in its writing phase. The band plans to release an album in 2026.
The lineup features drummer Adam Jarvis, who brings his experience from metal acts Scour and Pig Destroyer.
Professional Relations
The PRP notes Cazares’ professional approach to the situation. He has shown no animosity toward his former colleagues.
His mature handling of the situation extends to wishing success for his former bandmates in their new musical ventures.
