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.

Insanity Lurks Nearby
Front Line Assembly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You tolerate the ignorance the laughter of which all depends
Certainly you've made the trends now you know its time's slipped by
Certainly you made the trends but now you know its time's slipped by
Dead man's got a scary blade you start to hesitate
Waiting is an endless game your feelings never stay the same
Certainly you made the trends but now you know its time's slipped by
You tolerate the ignorance the laughter of which all depends
You tolerate the ignorance the laughter of which all depends
Waiting is an endless game your feelings never stay the same
Certainly you made the trends but now you know its time's slipped by
Now they're all encroached by you and you don't know what to do
Certainly you made the trends but now you know its time's slipped by
You tolerate the ignorance the laughter of which all depends
Waiting is an endless game your feelings never stay the same
Dead man's got a scary blade you start to fear and hesitate
Dead man growls and now you know you better not stay and watch this show
You tolerate the ignorance the laughter of which all depends
The lyrics to Front Line Assembly's song "Insanity Lurks Nearby" describe a situation where the main character has reached a point in their life where they feel like they've missed their chance. They're waiting for something to happen, but their feelings are constantly changing and they can't seem to settle on what they want. They've been influential in the past, but now they feel like they've lost their touch. They're stuck in a place where they're tolerating ignorance and laughter that depends on their own actions and decisions. They're being haunted by a dead man with a scary blade, which causes them to hesitate and fear for their life. They're encroached by people who are influenced by their trends, but they don't know what to do.
The song is full of angst and uncertainty, which resonates with many people who have experienced similar emotions in their lives. The lyrics suggest that there is an impending sense of doom, and the main character is struggling to keep up with the demands of their life. The dead man with the scary blade symbolizes the inevitability of death, which is a constant reminder that life is short and time is slipping away.
