Beefing up the metal playlist this year end.
Godflesh: Purge
How relevant is Godflesh today in terms of the music they peddle? Purge is still Godflesh backed by programmed beats. The only reason they appeal to the metal masses is the decision to keep those programming raw & not hyped up the sequencing. Purge re-visits Pure mostly, keeping the aggression in check. There are also, dance-y tunes in this set but the band is intelligent enough to keep the guitar / bass dominant to prevent it from going astray (from the metal path). Also, one of the better produced guitar / bass tones here. I like this album.
Watain: Die In Fire, Live In Hell
Live album so the numbers here are nothing new. There's another guitarist for live shows (P. Forsberg) & a touring bassist (A. Lillo), it's quite the reason why I bought this album. Great live atmosphere all round with all instruments properly panned out & well-produced. Do forgive the spoken parts, some of which are not in English. Watain... the band this country's politicians are afraid of.
