Burton Christopher Bell (born February 19, 1969) is a vocalist and lyricist. Born in Houston, Texas, Bell is the frontman of the death metal/industrial band Fear Factory. Before he was famous he appeared in the video for Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit". Bell was once romantically linked to My Ruin singer Tairrie B. He has a twin brother (Ben Bell), a musician, who lives in Huntsville, Texas. He has been a guest vocalist on many records and was also the vocalist for G//Z/R's Plastic Planet album released in 1995. Due to commitments with Fear Factory, Bell was not the vocalist for G//Z/R's second album Black Science. After Fear Factory's split in 2002, Bell went on to start a solo career called Ascension of The Watchers, which is currently on hold to allow him to focus back on Fear Factory, who reformed with new bassist, Byron Stroud. However, The Watchers have recently released an online only selling album called Iconoclast. Burton enjoys collecting Star Trek figures in his spare time. Read more on Last.fm.
