Fear Factory Hitting The Road With Prong and Thy Will Be Done
. Continuing to tour in support of their latest release, Mechanize, the tour introduces the album's third single, the controversial album closer "Final Exit." Fear Factory recently flew to Oslo, Norway for an eight-date run of shows with Metallica. The band, like many others, are resorting to travel by land and sea with more than 20,000 flights canceled on the European continent last week due to the volcanic activity happening in Iceland. Guitarist Dino Cazares notes, "it took us over 24 hours to get from Oslo to Riga in Latvia with Metallica and their crew of 50-plus people on a charter bus and ferry. All flights were canceled because of the volcanic ash in the air." Vocalist Burton C. Bell adds, "we took a ferry from Oslo to get to Latvia. It was the Metallica party boat; good times. We are basically taking buses and trains everywhere so if you can catch us, catch us." Lyrically "Final Exit" draws attention to the much criticized and sensitive issue of self deliverance as introduced in the 1992 book by Derek Humphry, founder of the Hemlock Society and past president of the World Federation of Right to Die Societies. Bell explains, "Dino and I have created the edits to condense the song into a time specific for radio. We are very happy fans are loving the song for it is one that touches upon the importance of the freedom of choice and personal liberty that all human beings should be allowed. The song hopefully will create awareness for the support group Final Exit Network," the song's namesake. Passionately Bell continues, "the right to life extends beyond life itself. If the medical community cannot, and will not find a cure due to cost effectiveness, then humanity needs the choice of a dignified, self deliverance from continual, painful treatments from debilitating disease. We have been contacted by many fans who connect with this song on many levels, and with 'Final Exit' being played on the radio, we hope others will also become aware, understand, and enjoy this song."
