  • In November 2017, Godflesh made a special one-off appearance in Brooklyn to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Hospital Productions, the boundary-pushing record label founded by Prurient's Dominic Fernow. At the sold-out gig at Warsaw, Justin Broadrick and G.C. Green rumbled through Godflesh's landmark 1989 album, Streetcleaner, in its entirety, including of course the record's far-beyond-heavy opener, "Like Rats." See that epic performance above.

      First song I ever heard from them. All my friends were into Ministry ( Jesus built my hotrod and such not the dancy stuff) no one liked them , Once Songs of Love and Hate came out they all shut up. Too bad for them it took that long to like them. You Breed! Like Rats!!!

      I actually requested my local library get a copy in to their music section when I was sixteen (50 in a few weeks). Got a letter (remember them?) sent to my parents', telling me it had arrived. Nipped in the next Saturday morning to pick it up, stopping by John Menzies to get a multipack of Maxell C90's on the way home...

      Yeah, you can see em in the movie, playing "live" in the club. That movie had a great soundtrack. The Frontline assembly remixes of fear factory, and Miranda sex garden.
      But I think nihil was from the cold world ep, which sounds like an alien artifact dug out of an arctic glacier.

    30 years before the djent trend, Godflesh tuned already so low it could shatter buildings. So glad to see Godlfesh back to its original form with "Post Self".

    • @Meta_Myself
      @Meta_Myself Před 6 lety +7

      Post-self is more atmoshperic than his last works. WLOBF was JK going back to his GODFLESH roots.

    • @nicolasbertin8552
      @nicolasbertin8552 Před 6 lety +4

      Pfff WLOBF was rubbish. Double bass drums, uninspired riffs from his new stupid 8 string guitar, it sounded like an overproduced American death metal band, American reviewers loved it... All European fans and reviewers have discarded that album as the disposable return album most bands do after a long hiatus. Only Americans liked it because they can't get enough of overproduced stuff. A big sound doesn't make a great album. Djent and metalcore are awful, no one in Europe likes it. Overproduced garbage. Guess what ? It kills in the US... Stop with those trends already and open your minds to composition, emotions, groove. Broadrick learned how to use his new guitar, got back to writing groovy riffs, and balancing the heaviness with atmospheric stuff, like Godflesh always did. Only Streetcleaner was mostly destruction, the rest always had that balance. WLOBF is an anomaly and will be quickly forgotten. In fact I prefer the "Decline and Fall" EP which has the amazing "Playing With Fire" on it and a better sound than WLOBF...
