Front Line Assembly member Rhys Fulber returns to deliver his third artist album for Sonic Groove. As before, his ability to take a wider view of industrial is audible from the get-go, with the punishing, bruising rhythm of "Concrete Cogitation" imbued with neo-classical strings and the dense rumble of "Collapsing Empires" breaking into wired electronic blips. Sandwiched in between heads-down numbers like "Glory to Labour", Fulber also impresses with his ventures into home listening soundscapes, and the atmospheric "Dead Reckon" the ominous swells of "Transfiguration". The dramatic, haunting tones of "Empire Collapse" also shows that Collapsing Empires was designed for the mind as much as the feet.
