(FLA)vour of the Weak

[FLA]vour of the Weak is the first album of the band to feature Chris Peterson. Peterson had already toured with Front Line Assembly for Caustic Grip and Tactical Neural Implant but had never been part of the creative process. He also had teamed up with Rhys Fulber in the band Will before Fulber became official member of Front Line Assembly. After Fulber's departure, band leader Bill Leeb asked Peterson to join Front Line Assembly. ==Musical style==

The style is somewhat of a departure from previous releases in the FLA catalog, with the group's beat-heavy signature beginning to take heavy cues from styles such as IDM and breakbeat. "We felt we had come as far as we could with the industrial/metal, all the experimental things.", said singer Bill Leeb, "I think that with 'FLAvour' and with 'Re-Wind', I was trying to do something, not necessarily dance-oriented, but just more 'electronic', almost a low-fi kind of record." Samples "Sado-Masochist" uses samples of Eazy-E from an interview with hip hop group N.W.A while both "Comatose" and "Predator" as well as the B-side "Oblivion" contain samples from 1996 American horror film Hellraiser: Bloodline. Non-album track "Electrocution" from the Colombian Necktie single makes use of samples from Daft Punk's "Rollin' & Scratchin'" and from The Chemical Brothers' "Block Rockin' Beats". ==Release and promotion==

In 2015, the album saw a limited re-release on vinyl through Canadian label Artoffact. Singles [FLA]vour of the Weak spawned two singles. The "Colombian Necktie" single contains an edit as well as a remix by Tim Schuldt of the title track. It also features two non-album tracks, "Deadlock" and "Electrocution". Touring The band embarked on a two-week tour in support of the album. ==Track listing==
