not for the weak.....

Review Score: (10/10)
One dimensional? Prehaps. Heavier than pretty much all else? Definitley. This, the first album by Godflesh, originally released on Swordfish records(i own the original on white vinyl) is one of the most single mindedly brutal releases out there...second only to Cop or Filth from the Swans. This 8 song debut envelops you in total audio devastation...envision a huge tank lumbering over a post-war battlefield; the sounds are slow and rumbling, almost too big to fit in your head. The vocals are mournful and uplifting in the same breath...sometimes being buried in a avalanche(ha) of guitar harmonics and tons of distortion...supposedly Justin only used two pedals and his marshall to acheive this sound. Do not bother with this if you want "indusrial" music. Go buy Ministry instead.....ya wimp.
