Godflesh

Crowd Magnetar? That's pretty good.

The Hollowing of God Flesh.

Wow.

God Lesh or God Flesh? God Lesh.

That's probably a fun one to put on with the kids.

What is God Lash? You're going to Sprouts.

That's cool.

It's an old concert.

Sometimes experimental albums can feel more like a project than a digestible experience.

Right, and then we have Godflesh with Decay, which they say is their final album.

That's a heavy concept.

Yeah, they're wrapping up after nearly 40 years.

Like, It's such a great story.

I just, this is one of those ones, again, I was leaving the hardcore fest I'd been at and I saw this and I was like, you know, one of my previous problematic faves from many, many a year ago in Frankie Palmieri, beefing with my, like, my number one problematic fave is just one of those, like, God, both these guys are assholes.

Like, he's like...

Both these guys are tickets.

It's called Never a Profit in Your Own Land.

A new upcoming, I think it's a debut album, Swedish kind of thrash slash old school heavy metal band Bloodstain.

Self titled debut release From then Swedish Hardcore punk godmother With Kottvald Then, as we move into the deathcore world, there is a band called Crown of Magnetar, who have released a record today called The Hollowing of Godflesh, which is a very bold title to put out on this particular day, because we also have actual real Godflesh releasing their album at the same time.

Of course, the industrial metal Legends and Titans, led by Justin Broderick, their new album Decay is out, and if you've been following recent Godflesh news, this is to be their penultimate album.

Yeah.

When, when were you aware, so you, you had been listening to Godflesh.

When were you aware, like, okay, I'm... 'Cause this is like a project-

Yeah

She hasn't really done a proper tour in England, other than that one I mentioned when she supported Psychedelic Furs.

And they just happened to play the London date, the bloody day before I went to that last Godflesh gig.

And I couldn't really make both.

And the weird thing is, none of the other band members are playing.

And I think it's because this came out right after Chaos Sphere.

The easiest thing in the world they could have done was do Chaosphere 2, but instead they covered Godflesh's songs.

Was Chaosphere

a big hit at the time, though, or not? I feel like that's much less love.

no,

you don't get that.

Nope, it's all just Godflesh covers.

So yeah, kind of piggybacking off of Ed, like I said, my next pick is I. Corey, what do you got? I have Violent Seek of Reason as my number

Yeah.

The Hollowing of Godflesh.

Two weeks.

Release.

Yes, Swans have been a very important, uh, band for me.

I mean, I can think of a handful of things across the years that have really been important for me and my musical development, starting with, uh, Hendrix and Sabbath and Metallica, and then a little later Neurosis, Swans, Godflesh, and The Melvins.

Like, these are all the...

And, uh, these are all the things that, you know, really kind of formed my sensibilities and put me on the path that I've since been on.

Um, and I value your creative voices.

And I also wanna be the creative director for this project.

And I wanna be able to kinda dictate the creative parame- parameters that we're operating in." So in that way too, someone like Gira or, you know, what Justin Broderick does in Godflesh where it's like one person and it's their vision and they get other people involved, and what those people do certainly contributes to the final sound and form, but it's really coming from one person's idea of what it should be.

And again, I kinda need that.
