Längere Zeit war es still im Hause Fear Factory, doch jetzt meldet man sich zurück. So verläuft der Verkauf des letzten Albums mit ca. 122.000 Kopien anscheinend recht erfolgreich und man konzentriert sich schon auf die nächste Veröffentlichung, welche Ende August erscheinen soll. Die Aufnahmen sollen in den Track Record Studios in North Hollywood, California unter dem Arbeitstitel "Transgression" erfolgen.
Burton C. Bell dazu:

We are all very, very excited about the collaboration with
Toby, says singer Burton C. Bell. In addition to Toby Wright there will be
a list of all stars collaborating on Transgression such as bass player,
Billy Gold of Faith No More fame. Burton explains, Billy brings a different
vibe to the music the way his bass lines move around the beat and drive the
songs with a unique element. Billy will contribute to two songs; Echo Of My
Scream and Super Nova. Other working titles for Transgression are:

Transgression

Supernova

New Promise (co-written with Mark Morton of Lamb of God)

Empire

540,000 Degrees Fahrenheit

Contagion (which original¹s version was recorded for Rainbow 6)

It's really cool to be writing a new record. We are all feeling very
positive and it's moving quickly since we have overcome some major
obstacles. Now we can work on a fucking great album. 2005 is the year of
Transgression for FEAR FACTORY!
