About

Front Line Assembly (FLA) is a Canadian electro-industrial band founded in Vancouver in 1986 by Austrian-born Bill Leeb, who had previously performed with Skinny Puppy under the alias Wilhelm Schroeder. Together with long-time collaborator Rhys Fulber, Leeb built one of the genre's most enduring catalogs - 17 studio albums that trace a path from raw EBM through industrial metal and back to hard electronics. Albums like Tactical Neural Implant (1992) and Millennium (1994) defined the sound of a generation, and the band has continued releasing and touring well into the 2020s.
