I knew that if things didn't work out, he was always going to come back and we were able to make records.

And now he's got issues. I get it: people need a scapegoat, people need to pass the buck onto somebody else.

But I'm a strong individual, and I can handle it. I always feel if you put out some great music, people forget about all the drama. Burton said the last conversation the two of you had was three or four years ago. What was that conversation about? He says I reached out to him - emails, birthdays, text messaging, things like that. I left the door open for Burton after he announced that he was leaving.

I still have love for the guy. Are you done with this, can we move on. If I wanted this record to come out, if I wanted Fear Factory to live on, there was an urgency that I had to fight to get it. I don't mean fight Burt, I mean fight the courts to get it - fight Raymond and Christian to get it. When you file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you have to list all your assets - your computer is an asset, your car, your house, your businesses, your trademarks.

So boom, the court put it up for auction. People think I took it from Burt or sued Burt. Because Burt failed to list it in his bankruptcy, he was not able to own it again. So it was up for auction and I was trying to oubid the highest bidder - and those people were Raymond and Christian as well. It was intense. I was sweaty. Do you think that you owning the Fear Factory trademark drove a wedge between you and Burton?

I don't really know, other than what he said, why he left. Because he never spoke to me about it. Again, he ran away. If you have an issue with me, just tell me. Why take it out there in the media? That's just old school. I don't think it overshadows the music,. You can hear the anger and insecurity on some of those beautiful melodic vocals that Burt lays out.

With Burton out of the picture, have you thought of inviting Raymond and Christian back? And I was, like, 'Okay. Where is this hatred coming from? I can't get into his head and see what he was thinking. I can only go by what he said in the media and what he tried to do to me. I don't know.

I don't know how to answer that question other than the fact that that was kind of fucked up what he did. It's almost like, 'If I can't have it, nobody can have it. The track will appear on the band's upcoming album, "Aggression Continuum" , due on June 18 via Nuclear Blast Records. Bell later told Kerrang!
