Almost four decades on, his new album was recorded and produced in Vancouver, Toronto and Los Angeles with assistance from production duo Dream Bullet and long-term recording cohort Rhys Fulber, plus regular mixing engineer Greg Reely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first single from the album is \u2018Terror Forms\u2019, which features Shannon Hemmett of the group ACTORS, who are also based in Leeb\u2019s home city. An insistent rhythm and pulsing bassline lay the foundation for a lyric that imagines a\u00a0nihilistic future and asks the question &#8211; faced with the very end of civilisation, what would you do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hard-edged yet melodic, danceable and very much song rather than soundscape-driven, \u2018Model Kollapse&#8217; carries traces of post-punk electronic dance music pioneers such as DAF, Front 242 and Skinny Puppy (of whom Leeb was an original member), as well as his own oeuvre. However, it also displays the influence that acts like these have had on latter day artists such as Gesaffelstein and ADULT., plus much of what has in recent years become known as darkwave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The term Model Collapse refers to a phenomena in artificial intelligence where trained models, especially those relying on synthetic data or AI-generated data, eventually degrade over time. Leeb posits the notion that \u201cas we forge forward on an unprecedented technological scale, it makes me wonder how much longer we can remain in control of various aspects of our lives. Automation has already taken over many industries. With technology running much of the world, will the entire planet eventually be vulnerable to a Model Kollapse? Chaos would surely ensue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leeb also acknowledges the role that Metropolis Records has played in his recording career since the late 1990s, stating that the company \u201cis one of the most important for alternative music on the planet. This album was made possible by my long-term friendship with label boss Dave Heckman, who continually supported my projects, allowing complete artistic freedom.\u201d Heckman died in the summer of 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MODEL KOLLAPSE<br>TRACKLISTING<br>1 Demons<br>2 Exotic Matter<br>3 Neuromotive<br>4 Folded Hands<br>5 Pinned Down<br>6 Terror Forms<br>7 Muted Obsessions<br>8 Simulation<br>9 Infernum<br>10 Erosion Through Time<br>11 Sound Mirrors<br><br>Information:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/bill.leeb.3\">Facebook<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/leebbill\/\">Bill Leeb (@leebbill) \u2022 \u03a6\u03c9\u03c4\u03bf\u03b3\u03c1\u03b1\u03c6\u03af\u03b5\u03c2 \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b2\u03af\u03bd\u03c4\u03b5\u03bf \u03c3\u03c4\u03bf Instagram<\/a><br><br><em>Article photo by Bobby Talamine<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BILL LEEBTERROR FORMS(feat.
