Track 6.
Godflesh (1988):
Godflesh is the eponymous first release by the pioneering experimental industrial metal band.
It was originally released in 1988 through Swordfish Records, but was later reissued as an album by Earache Records with two additional tracks.
Sometimes overshadowed by the impact of the follow-up Streetcleaner album, the self-titled EP is possibly just as influential and important a release in the industrial metal field, if not even more so; highly regarded for its originality and innovative lo-fi production based progression of sounds pioneered by the likes of the Swans and Throbbing Gristle through very heavy discordant guitars and bass, brutal drum machines and Broadrick's bile-filled vocal delivery.
Musically, the album's generally slow and extremely heavy riffs are virtually a polar opposite to Broadrick's fast paced work with Napalm Death on their genre defining grindcore debut, Scum.
Lyrics:
Ascend, Faceless
Naked, I am yours
See me naked, I'm dying
I needed you, my face is _f..._
Ice Nerveshatter, dead and dreaming
Bow to me. Bow to me.
I am defeated, I gotta walk away
I won't walk away. Let me see.
And I needed this you watch me
I'll bleed to death, watch me
Do you feel it?
When you're gone you're gone
Do you feel it?
Why did you leave?
Feel it.
Feel it.
