Headspike I'm ashamed that it took a while for me to add this to my library. Terrible injustice. FLA gold, must spin! Favorite track: Unleashed.

Obstacle of Affliction "low life, let's get high..."
These are the lyrics that come to mind when I think of this release. No matter how fucked life gets, when I give this a listen, I am elevated. Akin to taking a bong hit after you forth beer (imperial, mind you).
And "Beneath the Rubble" is what I would describe as my work anthem. Favorite track: Beneath The Rubble.

Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
Bill Leeb, Rhys Fulber, and Chris Peterson have joined ranks once again to create the best Front Line Assembly release that the electronic industrial community has seen in over a decade. The trio, with new member Jeremy Inkel, began work on Artificial Soldier in early 2005, and it was time well spent. The newly re-formed line-up managed to create a release that no only lives up to the expectations of Front Line Assembly fans, but surpasses them. Heavy pounding beats, atmospheric strings, percolating melodies, dynamic synths and Bill Leeb's trademark vocals couldn't be fused together any tighter if you tried to do it at an atomic level. As if all of those factors weren't enough, two guest vocalists appear on Artificial Soldier – Eskil Simonsson from Covenant (on “The Storm”) and Jean-Luc De Meyer from Front 242 (on “Future Fail”)! Artificial Soldier is one album not to be missed for 2006 or any year for that matter.

thank you! legendary early Frontline Assembly side project, that I have purchased many times in many formats over the years. This one goes back to the early WaxTrax! label days.. I never got into the newer industrial as much, as I just prefer the more primitive era..I wish FLA bandcamp page had the WaxTrax! era albums there too.."Caustic Grip", "Gashed Senses..." "Disorder", "Corrosion", etc.. legendary!! Cyberaktif, Delerium as well.. Shane Dangers
