05:22:09:12 Off is the seventh studio album by Belgian industrial/EBM group Front 242, released by Sony on 2 November 1993. The album peaked at #27 on the CMJ Radio Top 150.
The album's title is a simple substitution cipher for the word "evil"; where each letter is represented by its equivalent numerical position in the alphabet. The recording features members of a New York City-based band called Spill after an attempt to record the act in Belgium failed to materialize. Kristin "99" Kowalski of Spill was the only woman to record lead vocals for Front 242, and some vocal contributions are also provided by Spill's Eran Westwood. The band's long-time vocalist, Jean-Luc De Meyer, only appears on a remix of the song Melt.
