Front Line Assembly
Front Line Assembly (FLA) is a Canadian electro-industrial band formed by Bill Leeb in 1986 after leaving Skinny Puppy. Influenced by early electronic and (post-)industrial acts such as Cabaret Voltaire, Portion Control, D.A.F., Test Dept, SPK, and Severed Heads, FLA has developed its own unique sound while combining elements of electronic body music (EBM). The band's membership has rotated through several members over the years, including Rhys Fulber and Michael Balch who are both associated with several other successful artists.

Barcode
by: Front Line AssemblyThis mark of impalement burned on my skin is immoral
The shackle of frailness confines one to crawl with one self
A smell of corrosion forcefully clashes within
Sensorial conditions, human emissions grown thin
A symbol of power as dark as the night
No measure for intolerance, we'll keep up the fight
This structure of violence
Now becomes silence is hurtful
Beginning our obsession
We've now learned our lessons despite
It's burned on your head
It's burned on your skin
It's burned on your eyes
A barcode never lies
A symbol of power as dark as the night
No measure for intolerance, we'll keep up the fight
This toilsome aggression
Is now getting harder to fight
Solutions of leverage, internal combustion is tight
It's burned on your head
It's burned on your skin
It's burned on your eyes
A barcode never lies
A symbol of power as dark as the night
No measure for intolerance, we'll keep up the fight
A world of dominance will now pervade
