Fear Factory aims to find a temporary replacement, given Campos’ concurrent obligations. However, aspiring candidates must adhere to a set of criteria laid out by the band.
Their list of twelve qualifications serves as a filtering mechanism, starting with a significant criterion: proficiency with a pick rather than fingers—a preference that might deter some applicants but aligns with Fear Factory’s vision.
In a lighthearted exchange within the comments section, when someone jokingly suggested the need for a guitarist mistakenly handed a bass, the band responded positively, indicating openness to unconventional approaches.
Touring Prerequisites
Some items on the list are straightforward necessities for touring musicians. These include prior touring experience (Item 2), possessing a valid passport (Item 3), crucial for international tours, and residing in the U.S. (Item 10), facilitating logistics.
Instrument and Performance Specifications
The band specifies a preference for a 5-string bassist (Item 8) and mandates in-ear monitors for the click track (Item 9). Most importantly, applicants must submit a performance video of “Fuel Injected Suicide Machine” (Item 11) to be considered.
Personal Compatibility
Beyond musical prowess, personal compatibility is crucial. Criteria such as having a clean record and abstaining from hard drugs (Items 4 and 5) reflect the band’s values. They also humorously mention the ability to handle alcohol (Item 6) and stress the importance of teamwork (Item 7) and humility (Item 12).
Serious applicants are urged to consider these requirements before applying. Fear Factory’s current tour schedule spans Australia and New Zealand, with upcoming appearances at Sick New World and Welcome to Rockville, potentially overlapping with Static-X commitments.
