Assembly is the fifth music album by the Norwegian metal band Theatre of Tragedy. It continued the group's move from gothic to a more electronic style of metal. This method was described as similar to "Siouxsie and the Banshees jamming with Ace of Base". The album was the last Theatre of Tragedy album with the vocals of Liv Kristine; the band fired her (according to Kristine, by email)[6] due to musical differences. While Musique mentioned radios, streetfighting and nightlife, the songs on Assembly generally focus more on people than technology, such as in "Play" and "Let You Down". The album's modern setting is still emphasised by "Automatic Lover", which refers to modern nightlife, and "Universal Race", which uses space travel as a metaphor for sexual intercourse. An limited version of the album contains a bonus track, a cover of "You Keep Me Hangin' On", originally by The Supremes, and also made famous by Kim Wilde. The cover art was designed by Thomas Ewerhard, who also made the covers for the next two albums by the band, Storm and Forever Is the World.[7] The album was re-released on July 27, 2009, in a limited edition of 2,000 copies.
