Fear Factory Left Shaken After Bus Crash In Germany

American metal veterans Fear Factory have become the third band in less than a week (that we know about) to suffer an on-road accident involving their tour bus, while on tour in Germany.

The band broke the news on social media this afternoon, explaining that they had just left Aschaffenburg, bound for Munich, when their bus crashed. Thankfully, however, the incident appears to look worse than it actually was, according to the band's post.

"Everyone is OK, just a little shaken up," Fear Factory advised in their post, accompanied with a pair of photos of the damaged bus. "It doesn't help when it's 4.30am and snowing outside!"

In the space of the past seven days, both US hard-rock mainstays Hinder and Californian heavyweights The Ghost Inside were involved in similar incidents, with the latter event proving fatal when the drivers of both vehicles involved in the crash were killed. A GoFundMe campaign is ongoing for The Ghost Inside to help with medical bills and funereal costs, having raised more than $US140,000 in the past five days.
