Broadrick's most-recognized band, the influential and innovative GODFLESH, who formed in 1998 with bassist Ben Green, disbanded in 2002 and reformed in 2010, present 'Decline & Fall' 4 tracks on a 23 minute mini album." [label info]www.avalancheinc.co.uk "Listening to “Ringer”, the first track on Godflesh’s new Decline And Fall ep, it would be easy to imagine that this wasn’t in fact the duo’s first new record since 2001, the sound, as we were assured by folks who heard it before us, was very much like old Godflesh, and now that we -have- heard it, we most definitely concur. Sure there are some subtle differences, the production for one, less raw and abrasive, a bit warmer, as well as some strange sonic filigree that sounds like it could have been lifted off of a Jesu or Pale Sketcher record, and more dynamics too, with some cool psychedelic passages, and more minimal soundscapey bits, but at it’s core, and for the bulk of the ep, the new Godflesh hews pretty close to the old. The guitars gristly and crunchy and abrasive, the bass thick and buzzing and corrosive, the drum machine locked into churning, unwavering, industrial rhythms, Broadrick’s vocals the same sort of pre-Jesu bellow, the songs strangely catchy, with the occasional soaring melody draped over that instantly recognizable industrial machine metal, laced with shards of feedback, and arc of grinding down tuned crush. The whole thing tranced out and hypnotically headbangable, and a serious return to form, one that has us hankering for a proper full length."
