First look: Front Line Assembly

April 14, 2010 | By: Johan Carlsson (London, UK)


Brand new, old-looking image.

We have heard the new Front Line Assembly single "Shifting Through the Lens", and boy it's a corker, if you ask me. It's electronic, has fast and furious bass lines, vocoders and is the most club friendly track they've done since "Plasticity". The upcoming album might be something special.

We also have some more concise info about the upcoming FLA releases. They will be out on Dependent in Europe, and Metropolis in the States. Only Dependent have come out with release dates, but here we go: The single is out on May 28 with the extra tracks "Angriff" and "Endless Void". The album "Improvised Electronic Device" will assault your speakers on June 25.

It's also confirmed that Greg Reely and Ken "Hiwatt" Marshall (Skinny Puppy) have produced the new material.
