Green Army Fraction - Conservative and full of hate (2004)

"Vi kommer dansande" or "we come dancing" .. Despite the rather funny name of the opening track, and although Green Army Fraction is not known to fuck around, that still sounds like something I'd pay some good money to see.

Once again we are offered a treat. Green Army Fraction present us structured, heavy and raw power electronics in the good ol' Scandinavian way. The samples, the buzzing synths and effect-drenched vocalisations, it's all there. Although the shouts are mostly distorted beyond recognition, the hate is still clearly present. Topped off with a crisp production, this baby is too good to pass up.

A personal standout track is the fifth, A.C.A.B.. It starts off calmly with Amazing grace being played on bagpipes, taking a sudden turn into facepeeling electronics with "all cops are bastards" being chanted in the background. Terror for the whole family!

Originally released on L. White Records as a CDr in special packaging, in a limited edition of 300 copies. I'm not sure if the label still has the item in stock, but the Discogs marketplace has a few copies on sale.

Angry, controversial and to the point, Green Army Fraction is indeed full of hate.

  1. It's great to see that you have become so active lately. Thank you very, very much.

    But I hope you have given up on the Godflesh discography you had started to post.

  2. You're very welcome! Glad that you've found something of interest.

    As for the rest of the Godflesh discography, I
    thought of uploading them, if there was any demand for the later material. So far, it's been pretty silent :)

  3. What about only "Hymns", the very last Godflesh studio-album, as a compromise?

  4. I can post them all if you need them? I'll start putting them up tomorrow, because I'm kind of stuck with work-related issues right now.
