Frontline Assembly played at The Galaxy Theater
Frontline Assembly toured across North America to support their latest album, Improvised. Electronic. Device. It's been around 4 years since they've toured the US. The show was pretty cool. They played songs from their current album, Improvised. Electronic. Device and songs from their past catalog of great albums. I was personally surprised not to see so many fans. I guess FLA doesn't have a very big fan base in Orange County. Non the less, the show was good. It was basically a chill, kind of show. Well, check out the photos from the show. Synopsis from Another Raybee Production about Improvised. Electronic. Device: Riding high on a crest of applause, the new album (often shortened to "I.E.D.") has been described by Outburn Magazine as, "a collection of cohesive and adrenaline charged songs that maintains the complexities of the band's best material." FearNet says, "Through the years, there's always been a memorable hook and infectious beat lurking in FLA's dark textured atmospheres, like a sinister prize in every box... and this record is no exception." NBC-TV chimed, "Pounding beats. Brooding and extremely dark lyrics. Metal guitars and some of the best production out there in the industrial genre. This is Front Line Assembly at the top of their collective game." .
From the electronic bounce of "Hostage" to the dark metal of "Release" to the ambient and atmospheric closing track, "Downfall," I.E.D. is an album rife with FLA's brand of intelligent dance music. The first single "Shifting Through the Lens" is the most danceable track FLA has created in the last decade and came together quite naturally. "Jeremy came up with the original sequence for the verse and chorus and, right away, I really liked what I heard," Bill explains. "It really brings together a lot of the different aspects of industrial and electronic that we all like." The inimitable Al Jourgensen (Ministry, Revolting Cocks) guests on the sonic industrial onslaught of "Stupidity," which Bill describes as, "inspired by the Ministry album The Last Sucker."
Improvised. Electronic. Device. was released via Metropolis Records on June 22, 2010.
