Frontline Assembly - FLAvour of the Weak Naked Truth yes [FLA]vour of the Weak is the ninth full-length studio album by industrial music group Front Line Assembly, released in November 1997 by Off Beat. Background [FLA]vour of the Weak is the first album of the band to feature Chris Peterson. Peterson had already toured with Front Line Assembly for Caustic Grip and Tactical Neural Implant but had never been part of the creative process.Mr. Tangent 1998 Decree Culture Shock Genocide Project 5 35 1093-1651 He also had teamed up with Rhys Fulber in the band Will before Fulber became official member of Front Line Assembly. After Fulber's departure, band leader Bill Leeb asked Peterson to join Front Line Assembly. Musical style The style is somewhat of a departure from previous releases in the FLA catalog, with the group's beat-heavy signature beginning to take heavy cues from styles such as IDM and breakbeat. "We felt we had come as far as we could with the industrial/metal, all the experimental things.", said singer Bill Leeb, "I think that with 'FLAvour' and with 'Re-Wind', I was trying to do something, not necessarily dance-oriented, but just more 'electronic', almost a low-fi kind of record."Leeb Bill Bill Leeb Karine Semczuk Bill Leeb of Front Line Assembly Last Sigh October 31, 1998 http://www.lastsigh.com/interviews99/fla98.htm https://web.archive.org/web/20010710184010/http://www.lastsigh.com/interviews99/fla98.htm July 10, 2001 Samples "Sado-Masochist" uses samples of Eazy-E from an interview with hip hop group N.W.AReed S.

The "Colombian Necktie" single contains an edit as well as a remix by Tim Schuldt of the title track. It also features two non-album tracks, "Deadlock" and "Electrocution". The second single, "Comatose", contains the "Ketamin 45mg" and "Valium 15mg" mixes by the band themselves. A third version of the title track ("Prozac 75mg") was remixed by Eat Static, who would deliver another, drastically different, remix of "Comatose" on Re-Wind. The single also contains an exclusive mix of "Oblivion". Most of the tracks from the singles were re-released in 1999 through Off Beat on the compilation album Explosion together with tracks from the "Circuitry" and "Plasticity" singles. This coincided with the release of Implode and the timing of the compilation's release displeased Bill Leeb.http://www.mindphaser.com/index.php?page_id=289 Front Line Assembly > Explosion Mindphaser.com April 30, 2005 https://web.archive.org/web/20120531125715/http://www.mindphaser.com/index.php?page_id=289 May 31, 2012 July 15, 2014 Touring The band embarked on a two-week tour in support of the album.
