Front Line Assembly - Echogenetic

Front Line Assembly return with a new electronic album, Echogenetic, in July.  According to the band, the new album is finished and was turned into their label, Metropolis Records, last week.  The 11 tracks on the album were recorded without guitars, so this will be an electronic record, not an industrial one.  An official release date and press release should be issued soon, but expect the record out sometime in July.  The intriguing cover art (posted above) was created by Troy Sobotka

UPDATE (4/17 @ 1pm): Metropolis Records announced Echogenetic will be released on July 9th, and they confirm the album is guitar free.  According to the press release, a couple of songs on the album "push past the boundaries between modern electronica and and electro-industrial" and overall the album shows Front Line Assembly to be in top form.  Sounds pretty exciting!  Pre-order the album here

So far a full scale Front Line Assembly tour in support of Echogenetic hasn't been announced, though a few European dates have trickled in and are posted below.

8/15 - Prague @ Lucerna Music Bar
8/21 - London @ The Garage
8/22 - Glasgow @ The Classic Grand
