Ex Fear Factory Singer Burton C. Bell Says That Metal Really Isn't His Thing (Metal Martyr)

... like the hard rock bands, or the stoner metal bands, and that kind of stuff. Sleep I liked a lot. Godflesh , that was more industrial. I was more of a post-punk kind of guy. I liked Nick Cave around the first Fear Factory record, Nick Cave for inspiration. So to me, I’m primarily expressing the music that I like to listen to, so this is my opportunity. I have a guitar and I’m learning how...

Godflesh Is Cock Of The Walk [Videodrone] (Idolator)

Tue, 11 Mar 2008 21:15:00 GMT

I love Jesu's symphonic-scale metalgaze steez more than most things at the moment, but how teenage me often reminisces over frontman Justin Broadrick's black days grinding out fugly Swans-style riffage with heavenly industrosludge pioneers Godflesh, a band whose sound almost got jacked as many times in the '90s as fellow English miseryguts Portishead. So with that in mind--keeping with my plan...

GODFLESH (skullring.org)

Sun, 03 Feb 2008 22:53:00 GMT

Formed by ex-members of Head of David and Napalm Death, Godflesh was a brutally heavy band that was out from around 1988-2002. They mix the gloom and dread of doom metal with a drum machine, electronics, and devastating walls of feedback and guitar, creating a decimating aural soundscape. Their music is terrifying and full of dread and paranoia. They are the most unique and disturbing blend...

For an hour, Sunn liquefied my insides. It was the soundtrack to evil. There were no words, so far as I could tell, only drawn out notes from the singer.
