Ex-FEAR FACTORY Members BURTON C. BELL & CHRISTIAN OLDE WOLBERS Hung Out Recently

Looks like former Fear Factory vocalist Burton C. Bell and bassist-turned-guitarist Christian Olde Wolbers are cool with one another again. Wolbers posted a photo of himself hanging with Bell at the NAMM show in California, captioning the post: “Namm is happening this week and the highlight was catching up with The Dry Lung Vocal Martyr.”

Bell fronted Fear Factory between 1989 and 2020, while Wolbers played bass and guitar for Fear Factory between 1994 and 2006. The picture is especially surprising considering there was a significant legal battle between two duos – Wolbers and former drummer Raymond Herrera, and Bell and Fear Factory guitarist Dino Cazares – over the Fear Factory name. Long story short, Cazares owns the name now while Bell has moved on to his own solo project.

Here’s hoping Bell and Wolbers could potentially cook up a project together. Both guys are incredibly talented and have made some pretty awesome music together in the past.
