Data Insight

All ten tracks carry Bell and Cazares, and Herrera and Olde Wolbers appear nowhere. Six have nobody else; the other four bring in Rhys Fulber, the keyboardist who has been around the band since 1993. The writing pair that made the first records is back together after eight years.

Mechanize came out on Candlelight in February 2010, the first album with Dino Cazares back and Gene Hoglan on drums, and has sold 17,750 in the United States.
