Justin Broadrick is another Fender player who picked the brand name up by choice, not by commercial coersion. Interestingly, his tone is removed from the sonic superiority associated with the Fender brand name. If one listens to any of the Godflesh releases, Justin's tone has an excessice amount of upper midrange, quite devoid of the lower frequencies but this is all in light of the insdustrial nature of his music. It is also a leeway for his bass partner, GC Green (also a Fender enthusiast), lower end rumblings to be heard in the mix.The reason why I'm hooked on Godflesh's music is the band's ability to indulge in non-metal manipulations (drum machine employment is metal blasphemy, yes?) yet sounding very metal at the end of it all. It just goes to show that aggression, by any other means, is about impact.
