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!!
