In 1989, the group returned with the album Gashed Senses & Crossfire, which contained the dance-flavored singles "Digital Tension Dementia" and "No Limit." A European tour in support of the record yielded a live album -- titled simply, Live -- that was released and deleted on the same day in a limited edition of 4,000 pressings. After Balch departed Front Line Assembly in 1990, Fulber stepped in as a full partner; the streamlined duo soon released the electro-styled album Caustic Grip, while 1992's Tactical Neural Implant found the group's music moving in a more hard-edged disco direction. By 1994, the sound evolved yet again, with the album Millennium displaying a newfound reliance on guitars; both the title track and "This Faith" scored as club hits. Fulber departed the lineup by 1997, while his replacement Chris Peterson debuted with 1998's Flavour of the Weak. A best-of/remix compilation, Monument, was released the same year, as well as Re-Wind, a re-mix collection of material from Flavour of the Weak. Implode appeared one year later. Sticking with a heavy dose of synth-pop trance and throbbing melodies,Leeb and Peterson issued Epitaph in fall 2001.
Once again re-united as FLA, Bill And Rhys released a killer single 'Maniacal' (2003) as a precursor to the new album 'Civilization' (2004) and the sighs of relief amongst FLA fans were audible across the globe. 'Maniacal' is good old-fashioned FLA bought up to date whilst B-side 'Anti' shows that messers Leeb and Fulber can still produce stark and dark Industrial.
For the first time, Bill Leeb, Rhys Fulber, and Chris Peterson have joined ranks. The trio, with new members Jeremy Inkel and Adrian White, began work on Artificial Soldier in early 2005, and it was time well spent. Just release in June 2006 the newly re-formed line-up managed to create a release that should live up to the expectations of Front Line Assembly fans. Heavy pounding beats, atmospheric strings, percolating melodies, dynamic synths and Bill Leeb's trademark vocals are the norm here. Two guest vocalists also appear on Artificial Soldier. Eskil Simonsson from Covenant (on “The Storm”) and Jean-Luc De Meyer from Front 242 (on “Future Fail”).
Other projects include: Conjure One, Delerium, Pro-Tech, Synaesthesia, Will, Intermix, Noise Unit, Equinox, Cyberaktif and Mutual Mortuary.

Antisocial
Front Line Assembly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before, before it's too late
Don't, don't worry yourself
Of others I don't think
Kick down the door
To hell for more
Severe injections, a lethal dose
To hell with poverty
Clench your fist and shout at them all
Its just a lost cause
Clenched, clenched fisted shout
We're souls, souls in ignorance
Break, break all the windows
Shout deliverance
Break all the doors
Innocent victim
Do what you want
Clench your fists
The song Antisocial by Front Line Assembly is a heavy metal track that ponders the idea of individualism over societal expectations. The opening lines, "Get up, do what you want, Before, before it’s too late, Don't, don't worry yourself, Of others, I don't think" is a reflection of the belief that life is short and that it is essential to live in the moment without fear of what others may think. It could also be read as a cry for people to act before it is too late and not worry about what others may say or do.
The chorus, "Kick down the door, To hell for more, Severe injections, a lethal dose" is an allusion to the fact that it may take some extreme actions or decisions to escape from society's oppressive expectations. This social pressure could be treated as a "toxic drug," and breaking free from it could mean "kicking down the door to Hell" if that's what it takes. The line "Clench your fist and shout at them all" is a call to action, a reminder that the only way to break free from societal expectations is to stand up and fight for what you believe in.
The lyrics' central message is that being anti-social might seem like a bad thing, but sometimes it's the only way to save oneself from a toxic situation. The song's music is fast, chaotic, and noisy, creating the sense of urgency and desperation that comes with the song's message.
