Members and history

Delerium has traditionally been a two-person project, but the only constant member throughout its history has been Bill Leeb. Bill Leeb {born Wilhelm Anton Leeb, 21 September 1957, Vienna, Austria) is a Electronic musician. Leeb was a guest musician and early supporter of industrial dance pioneers Skinny Puppy, but after he left in 1986, he went on to create his own project, Front Line Assembly, with collaborator Michael Balch. Skinny Puppy is an industrial band formed in Vancouver, BC, Canada in 1982. Front Line Assembly (sometimes written as Frontline Assembly, also known by the Acronym FLA) is a Canadian Electro-industrial bandformed Later, the two worked on the side project Delerium and released their first album, Faces, Forms, & Illusions. After Balch left both Front Line Assembly and Delerium, Leeb worked with Rhys Fulber, and the two released several albums under the Delerium moniker; these years saw a gradual stylistic change from darker ambient to a more danceable sound. Nowell Rhys Fulber is a Canadian Electronic musician and producer. After the release of Karma, Fulber left to pursue other interests, and Leeb teamed up with producer Chris Peterson to release Poem. Chris Peterson is a Vancouver, Canada based producer and keyboard player for Front Line Assembly, Noise Unit and Decree 2003, however, saw the reunion of Leeb and Fulber for the release of Chimera, followed by Nuages du Monde in 2006.

In contrast to Leeb and collaborators' other projects, Delerium has included several guest vocalists since the release of Semantic Spaces. These have included mostly women, such as Kristy Thirsk, Sarah McLachlan, Leigh Nash (of Sixpence None the Richer), Lisa Gerrard (sampled only), Jaël (of Swiss band Lunik), Camille Henderson, Nerina Pallot, Emily Haines (of Metric), Jacqui Hunt (of Single Gun Theory) and Isabel Bayrakdarian.
