Godflesh – Songs Of Love And Hate – Cassette
Of the many excellent Godflesh albums released during the ’90s, Songs of Love and Hate will appeal to fans of traditional heavy metal more than any of the other albums.
Godflesh is known for their pioneering work in the industrial metal genre, blending heavy guitar riffs, mechanical drum beats, and distorted vocals. Some notable albums by Godflesh include “Streetcleaner” (1989), “Pure” (1992), and “Selfless” (1994).
The preceding albums, Pure, Merciless, and Selfless, integrated a strong sense of industrial mechanics with their machine-driven percussion into Justin Broadrick and G.C. Green’s aggressive, detuned guitar poetry.
Succeeding releases integrated even more computerized manipulation into Godflesh’s emo-heavy metal with these albums’ hip-hop, dub techno, and drum’n’bass flavors. But on this particular intermediary album, Broadrick and Green actually chose to use a human drummer rather than strictly machines, giving this album a much more traditional sound than any of these other albums.
The songs on Songs of Love and Hate are less mechanical and more fluid than preceding albums just as they are less innovative and more standard than succeeding releases. Of course, just because Godflesh happen to conform to traditional heavy metal practices on Songs of Love and Hate doesn’t mean that the music pales in comparison to the group’s other albums.
