Front Line Assembly and Delerium mastermind Bill Leeb has joined forces with Metropolis Records for their debut solo album.

Announced today, Leeb’s solo album Model Kollapse will be released on September 13. For this record, the artist teamed up with production duo Dream Bullet and long-time Front Line Assembly/Delerium associate Rhys Fulber. The first single from the release titled “Terror Forms” features Shannon Hemmett from Actors and Leathers. Aside from Hemmett, the album includes appearances from Jason Corbett from Actors and long-time Delerium contributor Mimi Page. Pre-saves for the new single, which will be released on July 9, can be made here.

Nina Heckman of Metropolis Records said this about the signing:

"We are proud to announce that Metropolis Records has signed Bill Leeb for his first solo project. Bill Leeb has had a prolific career as a founding member of Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly and Delerium. His music has been highly influential, and we are excited to see what this new chapter in his career will bring for him and his listeners.

I'm honored to fulfill my father's (Dave Heckman) lifelong vision and to be doing this project with a lifelong family friend I can honestly call family (Bill Leeb). This project is near and dear to all of our hearts here at Metropolis and I know it would make my father proud."

Leeb said this about unveiling the album on the iconic electronic label:

“Metropolis Records have been and are one of the most important labels for alternative music on this planet and this album was made possible by my long-standing friendship with Dave Heckman (RIP), who continuously has supported us through the ages and gave us complete artistic freedom.”

Pre-orders for Model Kollapse will go live on July 8.
