FearFactory

Located 30 minutes south of Washington, D.C., Jaxx is home to many touring metal bands. The venue -- located in a strip mall -- is average sized for a metal bar. The cozy atmosphere made it the perfect venue to watch Fear Factory, who passed through with Prong, Silent Civilian and Thy Will Be Done on June 3...

Dirge Within are headed out on tour with Fear Factory and Winds of Plague as part of the Fear Campaign 2010 tour after a brief respite from the road during the holidays.

New York hardcore pioneers Sick of It All have returned with 'Death or Jail,' the first new song from their upcoming album, 'Based on a True Story,' which comes out April 20. The band wrote the track about friends who have pursued a path of self-destruction that landed them either behind bars or six feet under...

Demon Hunter vocalist Ryan Clark and his brother, guitarist Don, have been playing in bands together for years. They also work together as graphic designers with their own firm, so Ryan is not fretting over his brother's recent departure from their almost-decade-old band...

In the early days Fear Factory had to put up a fight against critics and naysayers for their misunderstood industrial metal sound. "We started out playing backyard gigs and downtown warehouse parties with all these local death metal bands who thought we sucked," guitarist Dino Cazares told Noisecreep last month...
