Bill Leeb joined Skinny Puppy as a teenager. He left in 1986 to found Front Line Assembly, which has almost reached its fortieth anniversary. Along the way, he has worked with other artists as (among others) Delerium, Noise Unit, Cyberaktif, Fauliage, and Equinox. What has been missing, amidst the constant flow of electro-industrial and ambient music, is a solo album.
That is set to be remedied with the release of Model Kollapse on Metropolis in September. The eleven-song album will be in vinyl and CD formats, showcasing the British Columbia musician’s current output. There will be guests involved, as the first single to be unveiled reveals. “Terror Forms” includes another Left Coast resident: Shannon Hemmett from Actors and Leathers.
