Anyone heard the leak?

Edit: also streaming on NPR

[Rubin Farr]

Justin is on the cover of some metal magazine this month, holy shit he looks like he's been doing meth for about a decade.

Damn chugging march riff hits in the first song and I'm already headbanging my ass off.. this gonna be good.

[Guest Shadow GriZZly]

A strong contender for the album of the year for me.

 

I like how it's Godflesh at its core, but still different from their other releases. This one is probably even more minimalistic than Streetcleaner.

You can preoder this from their Bandcamp now for $8.50 US. Some good looking merch on there too.

This album has me really happy that I've still heard so little of Godflesh's (and JKB's) music. Good times ahead (I hope).

^ many. you will squirt when you hear Pure and Selfless.

This convinced me to finally queue up that stream. Really in the mood for it now too!

really good interview

[usagi]

I just bought and downloaded this off the shitty hostel wifi and walked the streets of midnight Rome blasting it in my ears. totally fit. I almost never talk about first impressions with music but damn, this is a tour de force. true return to form.

 

there's an insane amount of low-end rumbling though. not sure how I feel about that yet, although it does bring the oppressive apocalyptic vibes.

 

anyone get the digital special with the extra dubs?

I'm really enjoying your contributions to this thread.

[usagi]

this ended up being my most played album of 2014.

 

the last few minutes of this album are godlike.

edit: i.e. the last 4-5 minutes of this
