Fear Factory Guitarist Has A New Project.Koch Records Involved Again.
Fear Factory guitarist and once upon a time bassist Christian Olde Wolbers has a new project called Arkaea. The band also includes Fear Factory pummeling superhuman bass drum machine Raymond Herrera and Threat Signals vocalist Jon Howard and also Threat Signals bassist Pat Kavanagh. Arkaea has a demo sampler up on their Myspace page and it sounds solid as hell. You can definitely tell the influences of the two involved bands, specifically the Fear Factory part but it does sound as if Olde Wolbers has opened up his playing a bit and is venturing a little ways off from the prototypical Fear Factory riffs while still being recognizable. It’s a project i am definitely interested in checking out once the album is complete and out to the public. Speaking of that, just when will this happen? Well let me tell ya. Courtesy yet again of the fine folks with a seemingly overacctive recent appetite for metal over at Koch Records we will be getting this album March 10 of the up coming year if everything follows to plan. Looks like Koch just cant get enough of the hard stuff these days. This new project does look and sound like it has promise though and it should be something good to entertain the ears with until Fear Factory gets ready to gear back up again in the future. Hit the Myspace link up at the top and go check it out, and go drop Koch Records a line and tell them good job.
