Webmaster: BTinternet didn't like the way I used my Internet connection so they terminated my account. My sites will have probably been down for a week or so but I'm with Freeserve now and a much better service it is. Sorry for the inconvenience.

18th November 2001
The 'Linchpin' single is out now. Tracklisting is as follows:
1. Linchpin
2. Frequency (brand new track - more info below)
3. Machine Debaser - (an instrumental done at the same time as "Full Metal Contact", but parts of this song were later used for new songs on Digimortal)
4.Linchpin (video)

This past summer Fear Factory hit the studio in LA and recorded a track called "Frequency". The track was recorded and mixed in two days, for use in a game that was being developed - also titled Frequency. Well, the time is almost here...come November 20th, a game called Frequency will be put out for Sony PlayStation 2. A game like none other before it - a music mixing game. Though details of the full scope of this game go beyond our description, the basic concept behind this game is that you can re-mix songs by artists as if you are 'the man' in the studio. Fear Factory's "Frequency", which is the title track for this game, is one such song you can break down and build up. Word is there will be 25 songs total for you to be 'the man'. Interesting fact: "Frequency" was recorded 4 months after Fear Factory's latest release Digimortal was completed, making this the newest FF track out there... and it's on the new Linchpin single!!

DOWN UNDER EXCLUSIVE - This is a story which for the most part goes out to all you collectors, those whom must have everything in your collection. To commemorate Fear Factory's upcoming tour of Australia (starts Dec 9), on November 30th a piece called Linchpin - Special Australian Tour EP 2001 will be released down under. An EP which clocks in around 23 minutes in total time. The 7 songs which make up this release are as follows:

1 - "Frequency"
2 - "Linchpin"
3 - "Machine Debaser"
4 - "Demolition Racer"
5 - "Invisible Wounds" (The Suture Mix)

6 - "Replica" (live - from an Ozzfest 1996 performance)
7 - "Edgecrusher" (live - recorded at The Palace in St. Kilda, Australia on 2/26/1999)
The tracks "Frequency", "Machine Debaser", and "Demolition Racer" are all previously unreleased. All three were originally recorded for use in video games - the first one for the upcoming mix game Frequency, and the latter two for the game Demolition Racer. All three tracks will also appear on the upcoming release of the Digital Connectivity DVD. What else to expect? This EP will also contain the "Linchpin" video along with the 4 part "The Making Of Digimortal" video series (both of which can be seen here on the Roadrunner site).
