Former Fear Factory frontman Burton C. Bell debuted his solo band
Last night (June 13th), Burton C. Bell, the original singer for Fear Factory, played his debut show with his solo band, delivering a setlist that covered his career highlights and numerous projects.
Bell's concert went down at the famous 1720 in L.A., with a talented lineup featuring guitarist Henrik Linde (The Vitals, Dren), bassist Tony Baumeister (ÆGES), drummer Ryan Junior Kittlitz (All Hail the Yeti, The Acid Helps), and multi-instrumentalist Stewart Cararas.
Bell kicked off the set with his debut solo track, "Anti-Droid," a synth-heavy, sci-fi death-march that he first premiered in March. He also performed four Fear Factory classics, including their cover of Head of David's "Dog Day Sunrise" from the Demanufacture album, along with songs by Rammstein, G//Z/R, and Ascension of the Watchers. To top it off, Bell introduced an unreleased solo track called "Technical Exorcism."
Burton C. Bell was born in Houston and later moved to Los Angeles, where he became involved in the music scene. He met guitarist Dino Cazares at a show, and together they formed Fear Factory in 1989, initially under the name Ulceration.
