Godflesh

 

Godflesh are an industrial metal band from Birmingham, England, formed in 1988 by Justin Karl Broadrick (guitar, vocals, and programming) and G. C. Green (bass). They are highly regarded as one of the founders of industrial metal. The group disbanded in 2002 but reformed in 2010, appearing in few festivals and starting to produce a new studio album.    In 1988, Broadrick contacted Green about reforming Fall Of Because, who fell apart in 1987. Justin decided to take over on guitars, and they chose to use a drum machine to replace Justin as a drummer. The newly formed band decided to change their name to Godflesh.   Godflesh established a presence in underground music with albums such as Streetcleaner and Pure, which demonstrated the effectiveness of lo-fi production values in heavy music. A brief flirtation with major label Columbia Records in 1994 for Selfless and the Merciless EP saw the duo take on a more high-end production approach. In 1996 Godflesh released Songs of Love and Hate, which featured the drumming of Bryan Mantia (Guns N’ Roses, Primus, Praxis). The next album, 1999’s Us And Them, saw the group experimenting with a more electronic, drum and bass-oriented sound in which the guitar played a less central role. In 2001 Godflesh released the double album retrospective In All Languages.
FUJAKO (BE/PT) Hip Hop / Experimental
Fujako
We monitor many frequencies. We listen always. Came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. It played us a mighty dub.” – Neuromancer   The international duo of Fujako returns to Angstrom Records with Soul Buzz, a short but intense six-track salvo of earth shaking, gritty electronic music featuring DC’s Black Saturn.  Uniting over a love of echo, bass and space, Jonathan Uliel Saldanha, from Portugal, and Nicolas Esterle, from Belgium via France, came together to form Fujako with a desire to make music of “unlooped hip hop and telluric dub from the geological strata.” Exiling themselves to a remote mountainous area of central Portu- gal, Fujako re-emerged in 2009 with a debut album that crystallised their intent with a righteous sound and fury. Soul Buzz, recorded between Porto and Brussels, continues their lifelong dedication to sonic alchemy with thundering bass, cavernous spaces and beat up rhythms combining to speak a mighty dub into the liste- ner’s bones
