Destroy: Some of the later Godflesh albums are really boring
Pretty classic, I'd argue. No doubt they are a bit monotonous, but I like the groove (or lack of groove) these two mine. Some of the recent Techno Animal stuff is just stunningly violent sounding. Great for annoying upstair neighbors and shredding speakers.

The Bug is all cringy wincy like phoebe philo. Redeemed by occasional substandard Anti Pop cameos.

Techni Animal live is like being lifted up off the ground by the darkest bass lines around. The beat poetry only adds to the intensity
God was always a bit too weird for me... comments about Kevin Martin seem a bit off. He is a really nice bloke, or he was when I last spoke to him

God, PossessionTechno Animal, Re-EntryGodflesh, In All Languages, Pure, StreetcleanerThe Bug, Pressure
All recommended. Not recommended: Brotherhood Of The Bomb, that other Ice album, the Curse Of The Golden Vampire discs.
I wish I still owned Godflesh's Selfless and Love And Hate In Dub.
I'm a little uncertain about the Jesu disc. Haven't gotten my copy in the mail yet, but I'm not sure Broadrick has much to say anymore, either.

I'm not really in love with any of that Kevin Martin related stuff, but I have always loved Final, Sidewinder, etc.
Damn I love that man. Isolation has always been his gig, but does a song name like "Friends are Evil" approach self-parody?

Never heard much else from the JKB side of post-Napalm Death stuff, though I have an abiding love for Lull/Scorn, but Jesu totally slayed me the first time I heard "We All Falter." Rest of the album is only slightly less majestic.

the silver EP, however ... heard it for the first time today and it sounds like the music a) i was trying to make myself five or six years ago (and failing miserably), and b) i've been waiting half my life for someone else to make. absolutely astonishing; i can't get enough of it.
my awakening to metal/post-metal/etc is a relatively recent thing; as i've posted on other threads, it's entirely rooted in my love of slowdive and MBV et al all those years ago. i know absolutely sod all about godflesh or any of the other offshoots, but i'm intrigued: taking my love of "silver" as a starting point, what should i seek out next?

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

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...

I talked to Martin a few years ago about doing a God box but he wasn't interested. Too much hassle negotiating the rights, for too little reward.
