Fear Factory members in legal battle

There has been a lot of whoo haa going around about the future of Fear Factory - especially since the Australian tour was announced. Drummer Raymond Herrera recently spoke to a radio station in the U.S about whether FF was 'done'. Raymond said:

"We're [Christian and I] actually still in FEAR FACTORY. There's a big legal battle going on right now. Essentially, what's happened is Dino [Cazares, former FEAR FACTORY guitarist] and Burt [C. Bell, FEAR FACTORY singer] have become friends again and they decided to start a new band, and furthermore, they decided to call it FEAR FACTORY. They never communicated with us about it, and they're acting like there was never any contract, but there's four members that are Fear Factory Incorporated — which is the four of us — so it's almost like them two against us two, so it's kind of a stalemate. Moving forward, I don't know what's gonna happen with the trademark, so to speak. It's kind of a weird situation, but it's not a situation that we created that was weird."

The band will be here in August and you can check out all the dates here. No word as to what lineup we will be getting, but as long as they are playing songs of Demanufacture I don't really give a shit.
