Leeb was soon joined by Rhys Fulber, and together, they became the core members of the band. Front Line Assembly is known for their atmospheric and layered sound that combines elements of electronic body music (EBM) and industrial music.
Throughout their career, FLA has released over a dozen studio albums, with their most successful being "Tactical Neural Implant" in 1992 and "Millennium" in 1994. Their music is characterized by its complex and evolving sound, often experimenting with different styles and incorporating elements of techno, metal, and trance.
The band has undergone several line-up changes over the years, with Leeb remaining the constant member. Despite this, they have maintained a consistent output of music, continuing to push boundaries and evolve their sound. Front Line Assembly has also contributed to several movie soundtracks, including "The Guest" and "Resident Evil: Afterlife."
Their influence extends beyond the industrial music scene, with their music being recognized for its intricate electronic arrangements and thought-provoking lyrics. Despite the band's longevity, Front Line Assembly continues to remain relevant and innovative, consistently bringing fresh ideas to the genre.
