Implode is the tenth full-length studio album by industrial group Front Line Assembly. The album was released through Metropolis on April 27, 1999. [1]
Implode was released on digipak CD [13] and via Zoth Ommog on gatefold cover sleeve double vinyl with limited circulation of 2,000. [14] The track "Torched" is featured in the 2002 horror film Resident Evil but not on the accompanying soundtrack. [15]
Originally, Implode was supposed to be the last Front Line Assembly release for Metropolis. [16]
Implode was followed by the release of two singles. The single "Prophecy" includes the original version, a radio edit and a remix of the title track. "Unknown Dreams" is also featured as radio edit. "Paralysis" is a non-album track. [17] The second single, "Fatalist", was released in different versions in Europe and North America. German label Zoth Ommog issued a four-track single that contains remixes of "Fatalist" ( Rhys Fulber), "Retribution" ( Front 242) and "Prophecy" ( Haujobb) as well as non-album track "Deception". [18] The six track version was released for the Scandinavian countries through Energy and in the United States through Metropolis. [19] Additional tracks on this version are two remixes of "Fatalist" by Aqualite and Tribal Techno.
In August 1999, Front Line Assembly confirmed dates for a North America tour in October and November 1999 with Dutch rock band and label colleagues Clan of Xymox as support. [20] However, the tour was cancelled because the necessary financing could not be secured. [21]
All tracks are written by Bill Leeb and Chris Peterson
