Fall Of Because - Life is easy (1999)

Fall Of Because was formed around '83 by Ben Green, Paul Neville and Justin Broadrick. The group fell apart after numerous shows in the UK, as Justin left for Napalm Death and later Head Of David. Now we'll do some skipping in the warps of time and history, and Fall Of Because eventually becomes Godflesh.

Nobody would have guessed that there would be thirteen years between the 1986-demo Extirpate and Life is easy, but that's the way the cookie crumbles. It was supposed to come out on Justins own label hEADdIRT, but the album went through delay after delay, until finally seeing the light of day in 1999.

The album features 11 tracks, of which eight are studio tracks from 1986 and three live tracks from around 1986/87. Two of the live tracks are full live shows, the first containing the songs Empire of lies, Whiterock-Blackdeath, Christian motherfucker and Ecstacy of hate. It's entitled Fight show, due to an enormous audience fight that broke out. The second show is titled Xmas special, the song set features Life is easy, Calling and Submit-Supress.

"Both studio & live material contain considerable dropouts & hiss etc, but this can only help capture the age and atmosphere of these recordings."

Enjoy!

Justin K. Broadrick on "Red bull music academy" radio show

Meet Justin Broadrick: pioneering musician, guitarist, songwriter, drummer and all around visionary. His trailblazing, incredibly productive recording career most notably includes stints in the formative grindcore band Napalm Death (circa Scum), the pioneering industrial metal band Godflesh, who after some years apart have reformed this year for more mayhem and Jesu, a celebrated experimental rock band that has been fusing his previous endeavors with traces of shoegazing beauty. Not to mention, of course, his various works with the talented Kevin Martin as Techno Animal. Mere paragraphs of uniform text cannot do justice to the lucid landscapes, melancholy majesty and sheer aural ecstacy Broadrick conjures in his mind. Suffice to say you have not listened to the most eloquent, articulate use of a guitar until you have heard the sombre strains of Broadrick's work engraving it's name on every sinew of your body. Go on, I dare you.

It's basically an one hour long interview with musical interludes. Going through a broad spectrum of Justins music, giving insights on the upcoming Hellfest-appearance and generally sounding like a nice chap, I think this is a "must hear"-interview for all interested parties.
