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.

Remorse
Front Line Assembly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Captivated
In their hearts and souls
The fear and desire
Just won't let go
Naive as it seems
We all want control
When panic sets in
Quietly you drown
In your sleep
We once had a passion
It all seemed so right
So young and so eager
No end in sight
But now we are prisoners
In our own hearts
Nothing seems real
It's all torn apart
No-one knows
Where to draw he line
Accusations, a pledge
For resistance of mine
In power we trust
We can't get out
The time we spend fighting
The anger and hate
Hope for tomorrow
Is never too late
We all turn to dust
On heaven's command
Time moves by fast
No second chance
The song "Remorse" by Front Line Assembly speaks about the human desire for control and the fear that comes along with it. The opening lyrics describe a gruesome act of a killer driving an ingot into each of his own eyes and beheading himself. This scenario is used to illustrate how the desire for power and control can consume and destroy a person. The fear and desire for control are so deeply entrenched in the human psyche that it becomes a prison within our own hearts. The second verse paints a picture of a younger, more hopeful version of oneself. The youthful passion that once drove us forward is now replaced with anger and hate, as we fight for power and control. The chorus speaks to the fleeting nature of time and the realization that we are all mortal beings, ultimately subject to the commands of a higher power.
Line by Line Meaning
Captivated
Tightly gripped by something that has caught our attention
In their hearts and souls
Deep within our feelings and psyche
The fear and desire
The feeling of apprehension coupled with want
Just won't let go
Cannot be shaken off and persists
Naive as it seems
Despite its simplicity, it is often disregarded
We all want control
We desire to have power over our lives and surroundings
You're paralysed
Unable to move or act due to overwhelming emotions or circumstances
When panic sets in
When a sense of sudden distress or unease takes over
Quietly you drown
Silently submerging in one's own turmoil or pain
In your sleep
Metaphorically, in the safety of ignorance and unawareness
We once had a passion
There was a time when we had a strong interest and enthusiasm
It all seemed so right
It felt like the perfect situation or decision
So young and so eager
Full of vivacity and zeal in one's youth
No end in sight
There appeared to be no limit to the possibilities or opportunities
But now we are prisoners
We are trapped by our inner emotions or external circumstances
In our own hearts
Within our own self, as we struggle to cope with conflicting emotions or discordance
Nothing seems real
Doubting the authenticity and validity of situations and emotions experienced
It's all torn apart
Everything seems to be breaking down and falling apart
No-one knows
No person has the answer or solution
Where to draw the line
Uncertainty about setting a boundary or limit
Accusations, a pledge
Promising to take a stand against alleged wrongdoing or blame
For resistance of mine
Commitment to fighting back
In power we trust
Belief in the ability of authority to control and solve problems
We can't get out
Feeling trapped and unable to escape from the situation
The time we spend fighting
Time and energy dedicated to battling challenges and issues
The anger and hate
Negative emotions that fuel the resistance and battles
Hope for tomorrow
Optimism for the future and the potential for resolution and happiness
Is never too late
It's never too late to start or make amends
We all turn to dust
The inevitable fate that awaits us all
On heaven's command
As per the supreme force or entity's decree
Time moves by fast
The fleeting nature and swiftness of time
No second chance
No opportunity for a do-over or to redo past regrets

If a movie studio decides to green light an adaptation of Neuromancer, the studio needs to hire Front Line Assembly to create the music score. Fantastic song!

I swear everyone who bought this album back then lives long enough to see it getting recycled in one way or the other. It's just inevitable as end is closer and closer and closer every day, every day.
Tal Rex
One of their best songs and my favorite.

Absolutely wonderful.
