Godflesh, God, Techno Animal, Jesu etc (S&D/CoD)

I really like the one with the lighthouse on the cover where Jarboe sings

the latest lp was the best since the 2nd one

Yay: there's a new Jesu album in the works.

Uh: ...it's a collaboration with Sun Kil Moon

Wasn't that long ago that Sun Kil Moon involvement would inspire excitement rather than caution

you know what's super fucking good? that last jesu album (no sun kil moon)

fucking hell how good is re-entry by techno animal ?
i broke out in excitement sweats during the final track on disc 1 when listening at a decent wall shaking level earlier today.
no remastering needed, it still sounds insanely good.
i picked up the follow up album, the brotherhood of the bomb years ago and left it unloved due to not feeling the hip hop vocals.
listening again today, i still prefer the vocal free tracks, and it's not in the same league as re-entry, but still, there are moments that are incredibly thrilling.
ooh, and now i think of it i think i have some jk flesh ep (a freebie from years ago) hidden in my archive.

ha, found it : 'nothing is free' by jk flesh, which i believe was a digital freebie.
ok, its not even that loud and my joggers are flapping in the bass noise.

Funnily enough I listened to Re-Entry for the first time yesterday.

If someone had told me it basically sounded like an O'Rang album I probably would have checked it out years and years and years ago.

wait have y’all heard the anatomy of addiction? it freakin rules

love that record

also New Kingdom remixes "Gold Teeth" on Appeal to Human Greed

Amazing record, I saw them in London around this time, with Bark Psychosis and they were astonishing, so much crazy loud and overlaid dissonance that I stared hearing choirs of angels and all sorts.

i think i've bumped every godflesh-related thread in the past week but imo there should be more talk about jk flesh on this page

feel like i made a mistake taking eight years to hear this

i only have a freebie digital ep thing that jk flesh released a while back.

https://jkflesh.bandcamp.com/album/nothing-is-free

not an easy listen.
but damn when in the mood it hits the spot, and seriousy rattles the walls.

huh, I somehow missed that one! I’ve checked out most of the JK Flesh, etc. releases in recent years

have v.much enjoyed your recent godflesh posts BN

has left me keen to revisit the last two LPs - got really into Post Self at the time but haven't listened for a while

i'm checking out the two jesu releases from last year and they're kinda weird? broadrick really exploring vocal loops a la "comforter" from every day i get closer to the light from which i came

holy shit i had no idea about any of this. jkflesh album is amazing. what i've always wanted to hear from this kind of sound but never quite gotten.

to follow up on this: terminus is jesu-by-the-numbers with a few weird flourishes. if you want to hear a jesu record, it is one. but the never ep finds the jesu sound straying into... extremely processed technopop???? it rules

and this song sorta splits the difference between the usual jesu sound and the vocal cut-up electropop in the above song and it sounds so good. i would like for justin broadrick to release an entire album that sounds like these two songs

Really getting into Alone, have listened several times in the last few days. Hook is very 1979?

currently totally obsessed with "alone"

and the rest of terminus has pretty much grown on me already. great, stark slowcore record basically

quickly becoming my favorite since conqueror

just wonderful

lol i cannot stop listening to the new jesu album, didn't see this one coming

The Greymachine disc (Broadrick, Diarmuid Dalton, Dave Cochrane and Aaron Turner) is really, really good. Super heavy in the vein of Ice's Under the Skin.

greymachine are really good. i mentioned that in the metal thread but no one seemed to share my enthusiasm.

the greymachine album is so evil

genuinely terrifying. swans wishes. etc.

jandek made a metal album it's called greymachine

no mention so far of the KM + JB collaboration from a couple of years ago under the Zonal moniker.
deep drones, and words by moor mother.
heavy stuff.

That record is great, mark e, though sometimes I have to skip it when it comes on shuffle— very intense! But that's Camae's way.

i keep meaning to check out the zonal record!!!!

this week i got really into jkb's dnb project tech level 2 lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-DmYeBlcCg

only a few singles from the early '00s (plus an EP he just released last year) but it's all good imo

wow no one was joking about that greymachine album, truly malevolent energy

I nommed the greymachine in that year's metal poll iirc and not many of us voted for it?

Had to do a decent length of run on the car today so took it with me and it's maybe better than I remember it being. Wasted in particular is immense.

Is greymachine not on streaming

it isn't! weird. it's on bandcamp tho https://greymachine.bandcamp.com/album/disconnected

Never thought I'd get to hear what God sounded like live again, damn this is a glorious racket.

Was I at this? I think so.

ive lost track of all of the identities he has that ive learned abt in the past couple months. how do people keep track lol

This one just came up on shuffle— nice track, I like it much better than the original fwiw.

Three years ago or so (pre-COVID) I had a brief exchange with Martin about putting together a CD box set gathering up all the God material. I think it probably would have been around five CDs, maybe six, but the rights would be a giant pain in the ass (multiple labels, many of which don't exist anymore) to negotiate and he didn't feel like it. Oh, well...

Damn, that would be really cool.

Relapse is reissuing Techno Animal's Re-Entry in September:

https://www.relapse.com/products/techno-animal-re-entry-2xcd

Also available as a 4LP set for $80:

https://www.relapse.com/products/techno-animal-re-entry-4x12

already on streaming, looks like

Picked up the digital copy of Re-Entry from Bandcamp. I still have my original CDs somewhere in a dusty Case Logic. I hope I didn't dispense with the iconic original art. I forgot how great this album is. I don't have a record player, but I'm tempted to by the 4LP set and the damn t-shirt.

Listening to it got me listened to Ice's Under the Skin which I would kill for a remaster/reissue of. I would also love God's Possession and Anatomy of Addiction to remastered and released.
