Godflesh "Like Rats" Live at Warsaw in Brooklyn

[@brendandonnelly5879]

I first heard this when I was 18. I'm now 50 and it still gets me.

[@jamesgiaquinto3907]

First song I ever heard from them. All my friends were into Ministry ( Jesus built my hotrod and such not the dancy stuff) no one liked them , Once Songs of Love and Hate came out they all shut up. Too bad for them it took that long to like them. You Breed! Like Rats!!!

[@dnoyz1]

DITO. I put a sub woofer in my van and this album made it rock the most.

So do I.

[@malcolmjcullen]

I actually requested my local library get a copy in to their music section when I was sixteen (50 in a few weeks). Got a letter (remember them?) sent to my parents', telling me it had arrived. Nipped in the next Saturday morning to pick it up, stopping by John Menzies to get a multipack of Maxell C90's on the way home...

[@Randscorporation]

The bass tone

[@stubkar]

It helps when there's so much "room" for it... not competing for speaker output. Part of how Shellac gets that same sonic outcome. Loving it.

[@izsantiago7135]

It so heavy that it rips the universe creating a black hole

[@cactus-mcjacktus]

believe it or not, i’m pretty sure he uses a Boss HM-2. Drive on basically 0 and a lot of treble.

[@dinospumoni5611]

just a shame there drummer never shows up

I think that's why Godflesh came into the making because of a swans gig at the mermaid 👍😎

Justin Broderick kills it live. I still have Street Cleaner on cassette, got turned onto them after hearing 'Nihil' off the Hideaway soundtrack

[@AliceBowie]

Yeah, you can see em in the movie, playing "live" in the club. That movie had a great soundtrack. The Frontline assembly remixes of fear factory, and Miranda sex garden. But I think nihil was from the cold world ep, which sounds like an alien artifact dug out of an arctic glacier.

[@capitalknockers666]

Almost 30 years after this song was written and his voice sounds even better than it did then.

Since WHEN has Justin Broadrick had hair on both head and face? He looks like Bruce Wayne. Or Cristian Bale. Anyhooo I am glad that Godflesh is still alive, and kicking serious ass.

[@willy42-03]

I think he looks like Razal gul

Broadrick is either completely bald or he looks like he crawled out of a cave for the first time in forever.

[@yusronmuhammad988]

two guys on the side stage had so much more fun than the crowd. super heavy performance btw!

[@nicolasbertin8552]

30 years before the djent trend, Godflesh tuned already so low it could shatter buildings. So glad to see Godlfesh back to its original form with "Post Self".

[@Meta_Myself]

Post-self is more atmoshperic than his last works. WLOBF was JK going back to his GODFLESH roots.

[@nicolasbertin8552]

Pfff WLOBF was rubbish. Double bass drums, uninspired riffs from his new stupid 8 string guitar, it sounded like an overproduced American death metal band, American reviewers loved it... All European fans and reviewers have discarded that album as the disposable return album most bands do after a long hiatus. Only Americans liked it because they can't get enough of overproduced stuff. A big sound doesn't make a great album. Djent and metalcore are awful, no one in Europe likes it. Overproduced garbage. Guess what ? It kills in the US... Stop with those trends already and open your minds to composition, emotions, groove. Broadrick learned how to use his new guitar, got back to writing groovy riffs, and balancing the heaviness with atmospheric stuff, like Godflesh always did. Only Streetcleaner was mostly destruction, the rest always had that balance. WLOBF is an anomaly and will be quickly forgotten. In fact I prefer the "Decline and Fall" EP which has the amazing "Playing With Fire" on it and a better sound than WLOBF...

[@BickleBungle1991]

Nicolas Bertin Pftt you. Meta had it right, WLOBF had more in common with Streetcleaner in many ways than Post-Self did (terrific album btw). But you’re free to believe the rubbish you wrote if it makes you feel superior. You sound like many purists metalheads from... America..

[@nicolasbertin8552]

Go fuck yourself you little shit.

[@BickleBungle1991]

Nicolas Bertin Wah wah wah. What a big man! No wonder you sounded like such a pretentious asshat, and that’s because you are one, you sorry excuse of a Godflesh fan. Now go cry some more about American metal and their fan bases you shit guzzler.

Goosebumps here. Just the feedback scene at the start, so cult. But although the vocals are really good, I would've loved massive stereo delay echoes on them, would've been super atmospheric for this setting in particular and added more presence.
