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.

Resist
Front Line Assembly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"Bio-readouts are all in the green, looks like she's alive"
Resist, resist, resist
"Killed your lovers"
Resist the command
Vicious warning
Deface, deface the ?
You're fleeing from the lies
Nothing for the loser,
The hero always dies.
The look in your eye
The pressure, you kill with a knife
Toxins and games
You, you vow to win
Resist the command
Deface, deface the ?
And vow to win
"Kill for kicks"
Filth!
Excite! Excite!
What are we living for?
Excite! Excite!
We fade away
Menace of mine
We sellout
We fade away
"You're going down"
Escape from rejection,
Escape from the lies
Nothing for the loser,
The hero always dies.
The theme for protection,
Your scheme full of lies,
Nothing for the loser,
The hero always dies.
Resist the command!
"Killed your loved ones"
My ??? is burning
You want to die
"Bio-readouts are all in the green, looks like she's alive"
Resist the command!
The theme for your lies
"Kill for kicks"
"Bio-readouts are all in the green"
Resist
The lyrics of Front Line Assembly's song Resist are a commentary on the dehumanizing nature of technology and the military-industrial complex. The phrase "kill for kicks" refers to the senseless violence that can arise when violence becomes normalized and even desirable. The line "bio-readouts are all in the green, looks like she's alive" suggests that in a world where people are reduced to data and numbers, their humanity gets lost in the process. This is further emphasized by the refrain "resist, resist, resist," which urges the listener to push back against the forces that would strip them of their humanity.
The second verse of the song takes a more personal tone, describing an individual who is trapped in a cycle of rejection and lies. The line "the hero always dies" suggests that the person feels powerless in the face of their circumstances. However, they are urged to resist the negativity and fight for a better future. The final section of the song returns to the theme of technology and its dehumanizing effects, with the repeated refrain of "bio-readouts are all in the green" serving as a grim reminder of what we stand to lose in a world ruled by machines.
