Godflesh

Track 10.

Songs Of Love And Hate (1996):

A very different approach and sound, leaving their metal sound behind that they've been known for. Yet again a third band member was included. Brian (brain) Mantia played live drums for the first time on a Godflesh record. He left before the tour, to be replaced by Ted Parsons of the band Prong. The band begins to incorporate more dance beats again and the drumming adds a lot to the sound.

Lyrics:

Owe yourself, but no one else

Behind your eyes, inside your head

Reach in, but don't reach out

I'll come and try, if only in vain

I've never watched in shame, I've never watched in vain

Don't ever change no, just stay the same...

Credits:

G. C. Green - bass

J. K. Broadrick - guitar, vocals

Bryan Mantia - drums

Makes me weep every time I listen to it. And that's a good thing.

My band main influence is The Swans, Godflesh and Jesu almost share this fact by a billionth of a nano-micron millimeter.
