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.

Auto-Erotic
Front Line Assembly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause their ain't no way of pleasin'
Cause the thing that's in effect
Turns out to be respect
Gotta get up
Gotta get down
Gotta put the fear
In the ground
Also weak in their minds
Also fake, also blind
Lies and lust and hate
In the end it's too late
All the tears that were wept
All the friendships that were swept
Was it worth it was it swell
Only time and death will tell
And we reach the final sum
After all is said and done
Take Your heart in Your hand
And alone You will stand
The lyrics to Front Line Assembly's song "Autoerotic" depict a cynical view of human relationships and the facade of respect that people often put up. The first few lines suggest that attempting to please others is futile and understanding with reason may be the best approach. The lines "Cause the thing that's in effect / Turns out to be respect" is a commentary on how respect can often be performative and not genuinely felt. The song goes on to discuss the need to overcome fear and to not be weak-minded or blinded by lies, lust, and hate.
The last two stanzas are particularly bleak, highlighting how friendships can be destroyed and tears can be shed in pursuit of something that may not have been worth it. In the end, the only things that remain are one's own heart and the judgment of time and death.
This song seems to be a commentary on the emptiness and superficiality of social norms, and how the pursuit of these norms can sometimes lead to unhappiness and regret. The lyrics are open to interpretation and can be applied to various aspects of life such as societal pressures, personal relationships, and individual struggles for identity and autonomy.
Line by Line Meaning
Understand with reason
Comprehend with logical thought
Cause their ain't no way of pleasin'
Because there is no method of satisfying everyone
Cause the thing that's in effect
Because the current situation or condition
Turns out to be respect
Ultimately reveals itself to be a mutual admiration
Gotta get up
Must stand up and take action
Gotta get down
Need to lower oneself to accomplish a task
Gotta put the fear
Must instill fear or intimidation
In the ground
So it can be defeated or overcome
Also weak in their minds
Besides lacking physical strength, they are mentally feeble
Also fake, also blind
Additionally they are insincere and oblivious
Lies and lust and hate
Deception, desire, and hostility
In the end it's too late
Towards the conclusion, it is too tardy to correct actions
All the tears that were wept
All the emotional sadness that was suffered
All the friendships that were swept
All bonds and connections that were discarded
Was it worth it was it swell
Was it a desirable and valuable experience
Only time and death will tell
Only the passage of time and end of life will reveal the answer
And we reach the final sum
And we arrive at the ultimate conclusion
After all is said and done
Once everything is completed and resolved
Take Your heart in Your hand
Hold your emotions and courage close to you
And alone You will stand
And face the outcome without assistance
