Burton C. Bell Announces Obsolete By Word Of Mouth Tour

​Fear Factory co-founder and iconic vocalist Burton C. Bell is taking a unique, stripped-down approach to storytelling with his upcoming Obsolete By Word Of Mouth tour. Moving away from traditional high-energy club gigs, this intimate series of evenings offers fans a rare, theatrical deep-dive into the conceptual roots of Fear Factory’s landmark 1998 album, Obsolete. ​Designed for a strict capacity of around 50 people per venue, the events enforce a zero-tolerance cell phone policy. Rather than viewing the night through a screen, attendees are asked to put their devices away to experience a grassroots, word-of-mouth social environment inspired by the concept of the album itself. ​The performance unfolds across three distinct chapters: ​The Backstory: Bell shares the history and events leading up to the creation and recording of Obsolete. ​Unseen Synopses: He reads from a personal, previously unreleased collection of song synopses and written concepts that originally inspired the album's storyline. ​The Performative Reading: Without a microphone, Bell projects his voice to deliver the complete story of Obsolete like a dramatic, theatrical oral tradition. Tickets available at BurtonCBell.com ​For a deeper breakdown of the tour directly from Bell, along with updates on his upcoming solo music, you can check out this recent interview Vell did with RockTalks.
