Assemblage 23, an electronic act from Woonsocket, Rhode Island, was founded in 1988 by Tom Shear. Prior to Assemblage 23, Shear experimented with music under the name Man on a Stage and played bass in a live band called The Advocates. Assemblage 23 officially began after Shear experienced industrial dance music played by an opening DJ for Depeche Mode. In November 1999, Assemblage 23 released their debut album Contempt through Gashed! Records, which ranked Number 42 on the DAC Top Albums of 2000 chart in Germany. The band's second album, Failure, was released in March 2001 and featured the single "Disappoint", which reached Number 42 on the DAC Top Singles chart for 2001. Following a label change to Metropolis Records, Assemblage 23 continued with releases such as Defiance (October 2002), Storm (September 2004). Meta (April 2007), Compass (October 2009), Bruise (June 2012), Endure (September 2016), Mourn (September 2020), and Null (November 2025).
