| 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. | |

10.12.22 | Was bored, did list. | Sharenge
10.12.22 | due to the lyrics, I always thought "If I Could Only Be What You Want" referred to the untitled second song on the "jesu" track that comes after the minute of silence so I was immediately ready to jump to its defense as a great closer for Hymns, but that's all cleared up now
a few tracks here I don't think I've heard, but "Love Is a Dog From Hell" is probably hands down my favorite of this bunch... only song that could maybe touch it that I would have included here is "Slateman"... close call | rabidfish
10.12.22 | Banger list, thanks... I still haven't listened to fall of because, tbh. Gotta get to that. | kkarron
10.13.22 | yah the secret track after Jesu works fine
Fall Of Because is pretty cool, a lot more 80s post punk and power electronics | CaptainPlasma
10.21.22 | Quality list. Will be useful as a guide. | Sharenge
03.15.23 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0750lXG38AA | kkarron
03.15.23 | Very meditative.
BTW, Slateman apparently made it to #51 on Rolling Stone's Best Metal Songs list.
I don't even know what to say about that. | Sharenge
03.15.23 | I thought it was a great choice... not the one you'd expect them to go with if they were gonna pick a Godflesh track
I think Napalm Death's "You Suffer" also made it on there lol |
