	Godflesh - Industrial Grindcore
		Where Godflesh have matured is in aspects of riffcraft refinement and conventional song structure, and in use of a melody vocal chorus to counterpoint a harsh growled attack over low-end power chords, creating an experience that flows more smoothly than the still grind-edged approach of their earlier music.
		Of the later Godflesh albums, this is the strongest effort they have put forth as it is closest to what J. Broadrick achieved in Techno Animal between Godflesh albums, and what this band of musicians seem to desire as their future.
		Godflesh in their groundbreaking stages were an angry band out to change the world: now they will lull us into contemplation of beauty to bring sensibility and lurking morality to this anger.

	Rough Edge: Godflesh CD Reviews
		While Godflesh doesn't rely on industrial beats or samples like they have on the last couple of CDs, the relative simplicity of "Hymns" gives the pounding guitars, bass, and drums approach just the right amount of heaviness to marry up with the doom and gloom of the lyrics.
		Godflesh are one of those bands that will be long remembered for being for their fresh approach to heavy metal, if not for the fact that commercial success has eluded them.
		Godflesh is Justin Broadrick on guitar and vocals, GC Green on bass, and Ted Parsons on drums.

		in 1990, GODFLESH released their first full-length release 'streetcleaner.' the lyrics and musical style are darker than the ideas they use at present (the cover of 'streetcleaner' is a picture of burning crosses from a movie, altered states).
		after this, GODFLESH released 'slavestate,' which is more of a conceptual work than the first two, in which they began to experiment and use other styles in combination with their own.
		GODFLESH has been a true innovator and godfather of industrial metal and their influence can be seen everywhere in many of the bands of today.

		The passion behind Godflesh, Techno Animal, and a countless other pseudonymns and one-off bands, Broadrick has been creating music for going on two decades that has one singular focus: distilling the human experience into a stark singuarlity.
		Whether it be through the apocalpytic thunder of Godflesh, the overdriven electronic stomp of Techno Animal, the minimalist exteremism of Final, or the furious jungle rhythms of Tech Level 2, Broadrick continues to brutalize our notions of genres and barriers.
		For me, Godflesh is about perverting heavy metal, about taking it for our own selfish needs and perverting it and twisting it.

	Godflesh --- Official Relapse Records Band Page
		When Birmingham based duo Godflesh began creating their stark, hypnotic musical blueprint in the late 80’s, they were heralded as true innovators - crushing heaviness forged with such bleak soundscapes that it left listeners uneasy, wondering how music could be so unforgiving and enjoyable at the same time.
		Godflesh created a new scene which the press termed Industrial, with such landmark albums as ‘Streetcleaner’ (1989), ‘Pure’ (1992) and the Columbia financed ‘Selfless’ (1994) providing the base for many a wannabe Industrial band to copy.
		However, Godflesh, the originators of a scene, have always managed to keep one step ahead, and the next album, ‘Songs of Love and Hate’ was no exception - emotion, aggression, passion and sonic torment merged into a unique whole mean that the Godflesh noise had never sounded so challenging.

		Godflesh might be an acquired taste, but their influence and uniqueness are undeniable.
		That dry, other-worldly drum machine stamping all over the seismic throbs of GC Green's distortionized bass (tuned 10 octaves lower than standard or something ridiculous like that), kicking you into a netherealm labrynth of contorted rhythms.
		Diehard followers will rejoice at finally being able to hold this long lost gem in their hands, while curious onlookers could certainly hop on the train with this as their first stop.

		These releases may not sound as extreme nowadays, but Godflesh was one of the first bands to merge metal with industrial, helping to pave the way for countless copy-cat acts.
		Godflesh's very first best-of compilation, In All Languages, was issued in 2001, yet the early 21st century saw Godflesh enter a tumultuous period, when Green exited the group shortly after the release of a new studio album, Hymns, the same year.
		Godflesh was a breath of fresh air for the Industrial scene in the early 90ths.

		Sadly I know Justin broadrick and am very fond of his Jesu Project, yet i'm still to hear Godflesh, something tells me I have to get my ass into shape and listen to them!!

	TrouserPress.com :: Godflesh
		Godflesh is a sonic bulldozer, its ultra-low tunings and distant, disembodied vocals (not unlike Pornography-era Cure) creating a bass-heavy lava flow of sound that fuses early Swans with a half-speed Sabbath.
		Godflesh's next phase — incorporating a strong influence from the burgeoning techno movement — emerged on Slavestate, concurrent compilation tracks and bonus cuts.
		Godflesh's members have indulged in a mind-boggling array of side projects; there are probably more than have reached our ears.

	Godflesh
		The sheer emotion that exudes from Godflesh’s industrial sound impelled the band on tours opening for Type O Negative and Danzig in 1994, with session drummer Brain being recruited to emphasise their heavy sound.
		Amidst the side-projects and Broadrick’s energies being fuelled elsewhere, Godflesh released the album Hymns’; in 2001 and switched to the label Music for Nations, propelling them on a tour of Britain with Industrial heavyweights Fear Factory, before embarking on a tour in December 2001 with Devin Townsend and Kill II This.
		In 2003 Nihilisic Holocaust recorded a Godflesh tribute album, which was a double-disc ensemble of acts such as Infection Code, Begoten and Propheration paying their respects to the mastery of Godflesh’s songs.

		Afraid that they would never be able to follow up such a perfect record and that Justin Broadrick himself had become too absorbed in reinventing dance music is his own skeletal image with projects like Techno Animal.
		Godflesh 2001 sound totally bastard powerful and relevant again, just like the experimental dancehall days of Slavestate.
		I always loved that about Godflesh, how they'd burrow deep within a riff, prodding and exploring, learning every facet and coloration hidden under the skin.

		Godflesh, Ministry and Voivod have all been called "industrial metal" but they have little in common.
		Godflesh and Ministry both use heavily processed vocals, grungy guitars, drum machines and samples.
		On this, their latest offering, Godflesh is a trio consisting of Broadrick, George Green and Robert Hampson who used to be in Loop but now seems to have become a full-time member of Godflesh.

	MTV News \| Godflesh Singer Suffers Breakdown, Breaks Up Band
		Godflesh formed in Birmingham, England, in 1988 and pioneered a grinding form of cacophony that combined droning metallic riffs, apocalyptic vocals and clanging drum machines.
		Godflesh's self-titled 1988 debut assaulted the senses with unrepentant volleys of mechanized noise, setting the stage for the teeth-gnashing 1990 album Streetcleaner.
		A fitting epitaph, the disc was a sparser return to the type of visceral grind the band pioneered, without sacrificing the experimentation and electronic tinkering on which it thrived.

		However, Godflesh, the originators of a scene, have always managed to keep one step ahead, and the new album, 'Songs of Love and Hate' is no exception - emotion, aggression, passion and sonic torment merged into a unique whole mean that the Godflesh noise has never sounded so challenging.
		Godflesh made their mark when they burst onto the scene - their quest since then has been to stay credible and ahead of the competition.
		We're here to show that if it wasn't for Godflesh, a lot of what is hip right now wouldn't be around!" With such new found confidence coupled to an album's worth of their best material since the crushing 'Streetcleaner', Godflesh mean even more now than they did back then.

	Godflesh : Godflesh - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Godflesh formed in Birmingham in 1988 after Justin Broadrick quit drumming for Head of David and playing guitar for Napalm Death.
		The group went on to produce a string of landmark albums throughout the '90s that expanded on the abrasive sound of the debut tenfold, resulting in a machine/organic sound closer to My Bloody Valentine and Main than to the pummeling grindcore of their beginnings.
		This album is, of course, essential to Godflesh fans, yet the uninitiated should look to the albums Streetcleaner, Slavestate, or Pure for an introduction.

		After 12 years as a fan, it's hard to be objective about the mighty Godflesh and this 73-minute, 13-song work of extreme art.
		What Godflesh achieves with Hymns is a more direct and intense effect in the vein of their underrated album Selfless.
		One of the most enduring qualities about Godflesh is their diversity, and on Hymns, even without the high-tech frills, they prove that they're a real "rock" band capable of awesome harshness and an amazing melodic beauty.

	Deadtide.com : Reviews : Albums : Godflesh, "Hymns"
		Sometimes loved, sometimes hated, often imitated, Godflesh brings to the world Hymns, an inquantifiable collection of slow churning, chugging ecstacy that will crush your body into oblivion while dissolving your spirit into the aether.
		Never content to stick to a formula and not for the faint of heart, Godflesh can honestly say that they've never made the same album twice - and rarely with the same band twice, either.
		I can say personally that Godflesh drove me to the edge of sanity with their last release, and have proved my salvation with Hymns.

	Into Liquid Sky - Music Reviews
		Accenting this is a mournful guitar and bass combo lightly garnished with hauntingly pale vocals.
		If Godflesh had just released the four tracks without dub alternatives, I think the album as a whole wouldn't feel as tedious by the time you reach the end.
		For those who loved the older Godflesh music, this EP is worth the time to hunt down, especially for Wilderness of Mirrors, which may be one of the best tracks the band has done.

		From their indie-debut on Swordfish records in '88, this band have set fire to the rock rulebook many times over, pop pickers, creating a brutality yet humanity which touches many genres, but panders to none.
		It seems to me that Godflesh's music is too often incorrectly described as cold and inhuman in music press...
		The Metal crowd says 'Godflesh are Metal', but techno-crowd could relate to it, there's even a bit of hip-hop, and that rubs off in that Godflesh actually has a broader appeal than might seem to be the.

	The History of Rock Music. Godflesh: biography, discography, reviews, links
		Godflesh (1988) was one of the bleakest albums since early Swans, and, overall, sounded like the last spasm of a dying man. The horrific monoliths of Streetcleaner (1989) fused grind-core and industrial dance, achieving a level of intensity that had few rivals.
		Defeated, Voidhead and Vampires are closer to classic Godflesh, but too unfocused and opaque compared with the manic and precise onslaught of the early albums.
		The former is the manifesto of Jesu's slow-motion repetitive "noise and drone" music, while the latter applies the method to a relatively quiet madness.

	Ink 19 :: Godflesh
		If you've been following Justin Broadrick's career outside of Godflesh for the past few years, this record won't be a surprise to you.
		The bass is still detuned beyond belief, and the guitar crunches, like, well, only Godflesh do it.
		After much mucking about by many so-called "industrial" musicians, Godflesh take the crown, crush it over the heads of the weak, and force the splinters down their throats.

		Just ask Godflesh singer/guitarist Justin Broadrick what he thinks about leaving his longtime home base, Earache Records, and signing with Music for Nations (licensed in North America through Koch Records) and he'll go on and on.
		Like each Godflesh album, the musical exploration of the music on _Hymns_ finds the band just taking charge of their ideas and not being afraid to expand and dissect sounds.
		We are hoping with some exposure that kids will hear Godflesh and get something out of what we do that they aren't getting from all of those hard rock bands flooding the market right now.
