Recently it was announced that Burton and ex-guitarist Dino Cazares reconcilied their differences, and started a new project. This project ended up to be the new fear factory lineup. When asked about why Christian Olde Wolbers and Raymond Herrera wernt included, bell said “Fear Factory’s like a business and I’m just reorganizing…We won’t talk about their exclusion”.

In June 2009, Christian Olde Wolbers and Raymond Herrera finally spoke about the issue on the radio program “Speed Freaks”. Instead of offering reasons for leaving the group, Herrera revealed that technically, he and Wolbers never left. “Christian and I are actually still in Fear Factory…Burton and Dino decided to start a new band, and furthermore, they decided to call it Fear Factory. They never communicated with us about it”, said Herrera. Herrera went on to say that the original four members (Bell, Cazares, Wolbers, and himself) are contractually regarded as Fear Factory Incorporated, and said “it’s almost like them two against us two, so it’s kind of a stalemate.”

Herrera also stated that he and Wolbers had written eight songs for the next Fear Factory record, but that a “personal disagreement” had come up between them and Bell, which left Bell unwanting to continue work with the band.
