Deep Cuts: Godflesh
So Godflesh is amazing, yeah? Now that's our of the way, here's a list of some deep cuts from the duo - awesome tracks that aren't from the mainline run of albums but on some compilations/collabs/rarities, whatever. |
| 1 |  | Godflesh
Hymns
If I Could Only Be What You Want - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DKYSRa3Qn8
awesome yet subdued, it would not have been a good fit for the album (especially as the closer after Jesu) but it's a great electronic-influenced Godflesh track |
| 2 |  | Loop
Heaven's End
Straight To Your Heart - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZkUGdDnqdk
A Loop cover from their split (Loop covered Like Rats), it has the hypnotic arrangement of Loop mixed with Godflesh' more aggro rhytmical sensibilites. It's fucking great! |
| 3 |  | Godflesh
In All Languages
Love Is A Dog From Hell - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZotxEGIixSo
Top tier early Godflesh, the playful use of harmonics and hiphop influenced rhythm would peak with stuff Christbait Rising and Spite. Bonus cred for the ref to Bukowski. |
| 4 |  | Godflesh
Love and Hate in Dub
Wake (Break Mix) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4EKJD0GFUQ
One of the more successful Godflesh remixes, the bass hits like a truck on this one. |
| 5 |  | Godflesh
Godflesh
My Own Light - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmjIP7frru8
One of the Godflesh tracks with early post-punk influences really at the forefront, it probably would not have fit the bleak lo-fi atmosphere of their s/t, but it's still such a great track that it's a pity it didn't make it on any albums. That outro is an utter banger. |
| 6 |  | Godflesh
Songs of Love and Hate
Absorber - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bo4GrsdMCM
Rumour has it this was supposed to be in a Mortal Kombat movie. It defo is a bit more accessible than a lot of their other stuff from the era. Feels like another remix of Wake, really. |
| 7 |  | Slaughter (CAN)
Strappado
Fuck Of Death - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkbrVNgTVQw
Godflesh really showing their extreme metal roots with a Slaughter cover. It really feels like an early era Godflesh track. |
| 8 |  | Black Sabbath
Born Again
Zero The Hero - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvdDFlTxF0M
It'd be weird if Godflesh hadn't done a Black Sabbath cover, right? Their sound just works so well with that Sabbath bleakness. |
| 9 |  | Fall of Because
Life Is Easy
Christian Motherfucker - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3934nHEl0Y
Fall Of Because is the proto-Godflesh and lord, are the Venom influences strong here. |
| 10 |  | Mortiis
The Great Corrupter
The Great Leap - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=224SwBIRCeU
Very late-era Godfleshy remix of a Mortiis track. |
