Dino Cazares
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dino Cazares (born September 2, 1966 in Mexicali, Baja California) was the guitarist for Los Angeles-based metal/industrial group Fear Factory until 2002.
Cazares and drummer Raymond Herrera formed Fear Factory in 1989 under the name Ulceration. However, it was renamed to their current name Fear Factory in the following year. The band's first album, Soul of a New Machine, was dedicated to Cazares' father, Natividad, and older brother, Joey. Before joining Fear Factory, Cazares was in the deathgrind band Excruciating Terror. The Mexican death/grind side-project Brujeria formed later on with members of Faith No More, Fear Factory, and others.
When Fear Factory split up (temporarily) in 2002, Cazares returned to Brujeria, but soon left to form Asesino. Fear Factory reformed later that year without Cazares and with bassist Christian Olde Wolbers becoming the new guitarist for the band.
Cazeres' main guitar in Fear Factory was a black seven-string Ibanez Universe guitar with an extra top string. He now uses a custom 8-String guitar made by Ibanez. While with Fear Factory, Cazares endorsed the Line 6 Flextone amp series and POD preamp. He is currently endorsing the Ibanez Toneblaster amps.
Cazares contributed to the compilation Roadrunner United with other Roadrunner Records artists. It is said though unconfirmed that his name was a nickname given to him and is short for "dinosaur riffs."
In 2006, he is preparing to release Asesino's sophomore album, titled "Cristo Satanico", which will be in stores late 2006.
