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.

Iceolate
Front Line Assembly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Working on the ground
Iceolate the problem
Don't let life bring you down
Seeing through the eyes of evil
Confusion takes a hold
Ignorance the sign of times
The lessons to be learned
Fight back
Bring down the fear
No control
All systems clear
Fight back
Bring down the fear
No control
All systems clear
masked killers rule the street
Victims all the same
Authorized by society
Misrule rules the world
Here for certain ?
pain will be a trend
Indifference to the difference
They'll never end
Bringing down the enemy
You've got to break those chains
You've got to fear our soul
Systems got to change
Fight back
Bring down the fear
No control
All systems clear
Fight back
Bring down the fear
Iceolate, iceolate
Your bodies [?] will stain the world
Stricken with grief
Inferior conscience violates
Mutilates the mind
[Chorus]
Fight back
Bring down the fear
No control
All systems clear
Iceolate, iceolate
Iceolate, iceolate
"to ya"
The lyrics of 'Iceolate' by Front Line Assembly speaks of the feeling of being sidelined or isolated in society while facing societal issues. The song encourages its listeners to fight against the fears of life to bring about change in the systems that govern society. It talks about the confusion that often arises when we see through the eyes of evil and how ignorance is a sign of our times as we learn lessons along the way.
The lyrics talk about the oppression that is happening in society, where masked killers rule the streets and everyone is a victim. Society has authorized this misrule that now rules our world. The artist predicts that pain will be a trend here, and this indifference towards differences will never end. The chorus of the song emphasizes the need to fight back and bring down the fear, so all systems clear. The second verse talks about the need to break free from the chains of the enemy and how we need to fear our soul. It shows how systems have to change, and isolation is necessary to resist the societal forces that want to violate and mutilate our minds and bodies.
