Godflesh - Godflesh (1988)

Godflesh continues to blow my mind to this day. This was their first release. Originally it was only released as vinyl on Swordfish records, I now present you the 1990 Earache re-release with two additional tracks from an unknown recording session.

The ultra-fast grind of Justin's previous band Napalm Death turned into quite the opposite with Godflesh: a mix of cold and oppressive industrial and metal. When you combine a drum machine (the holy Alesis SR-16), G.C. Green's dissonant and bellowing bass, Broadrick's droning and feedback-filled guitar playing with his effect-bathed vocalisations, you get the beginning of a new era of industrial metal. This was revolutionary in 1988, and even today it tends to leave people dumbstruck upon hearing it. Absolute recommendation, do not accept cheap substitutes!

Another request, hope you enjoy this one!
