Burton C. Bell, known for co-creating Fear Factory, has made a triumphant return with his debut solo single and video, “Anti-Droid.” The track, featuring moody synths and sci-fi metal vibes, delivers a potent message of defiance against technology and conformity. The former Fear Factory vocalist, whose career has spanned collaborations with icons like Geezer Butler and Al Jourgensen, brings his signature scream/sing style to the forefront once again.

Bell comments:

“I’m starting my solo career. I’m working with different producers and co-songwriters, making music that I love, with full control of the music and creative direction. Anti-Droid is a statement about breaking free. Breaking the bonds of what I felt was a prison in many ways. Not just financially or contractually but creatively, as well. I felt constrained to this format we’d written ourselves into. The ‘factory’ doesn’t have a capital F. It’s the factory of the music industry, a certain form of business, and priorities. Being a slave to an established way of thinking is not really freedom. I am moving forward.”
