MEMBERS OF FEAR FACTORY AND THREAT SIGNAL ANNOUNCE NEW PROJECT

MEMBERS OF FEAR FACTORY AND THREAT SIGNAL ANNOUNCE NEW PROJECT!  MUSIC AVAILABLE FOR PREVIEW AT WWW.MYSPACE.COM/ARKAEAMUSIC

Fear Factory members Christian Olde Wolbers (guitar) and Raymond Herrera
(drums) are proud to announce the debut album of their new group, ARKAEA.
The band also features one of metal's hungriest young singers, Jon Howard
(Threat Signal).

ARKAEA has just finished up preproduction and are scheduled to enter the
studio to begin recording.  This album promises to be as pummeling as
anything the gold-selling team of Olde Wolbers and Herrera has ever written.

Olde Wolbers comments: "These songs were designed like the Fear Factory
songs that Raymond and I always wrote. However, we've been able to push the
boundaries and go out of that context, while remaining heavy."

"Christian and Ray have been writing together for many years, so the music
does have a lot of Fear Factory elements," adds Howard. "However, we've been
open to trying different things. It basically fuses what I have been doing
vocally in Threat Signal with driving Fear Factory rhythms, along with some
of our own experimentation. The idea behind the project is to be heavy, but
maintain melody at the same time."

Howard has been a part of the Fear Factory family ever since Olde Wolbers
served as producer for Threat Signal's debut, Under Reprisal. Given that
connection, the chemistry was there the instant the band started playing
together.

The band's yet untitled album is due out fall 2008 on KOCH RECORDS and plans
for touring are under way in support of the record.
