Following the release of 2002's indifferently received Hymns opus, industrial grindcore legends Godflesh were finally retired by their sonic architect, Justin Broadrick, who, quiet exit notwithstanding, could proudly look back upon more than a decade of committed service to the cause of extreme music. So it was especially fitting that Broadrick would then choose to lay his legendary beast to rest by unearthing one of the most collectible lost items from its past, the long-out-of-print Messiah EP. Originally made available only to members of the group's fan club back in 1994, Messiah's recording coincided with what most experts consider the group's commercial and artistic peak, and featured four intensely pulverizing cuts (the title track, "Wilderness of Mirrors," "Sungod," "Scapegoat") that easily qualify as vintage Godflesh. For this reissue, four alternate versions of the same songs in dub (remixed a year later in 1995) are added for good measure, resulting in a very satisfying final adieu for longtime Godflesh fans. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

Originally recorded in 1994 & released on Godflesh mastermind Justin Broadrick's Avalanche Recordings, the highly sought-after Godflesh EP 'Messiah' was once only available via the official Godflesh website. Containing four lost songs & ambient remixes of those same songs, 'Messiah' is a dark, chilling glimpse inside the mind of one of heavy music's most revered martyrs. Relapse proudly resurrects 'Messiah', giving long-time Godflesh worshippers a precious memento, while laying to rest this omnipotent musical beast. 2003.

Recorded between 1994 & 1995.

Personnel: Justin Broadrick (guitar); G.C. Green (synthesizer, sampler).

Audio Mixer: Godflesh.

Recording information: Avalanche (1994-1995).

Godflesh: Justin K. Broadrick (vocals, guitar); GC Green (synthesizer, bass programming, samples).

The Wire (6/03, p.74) - "...Godflesh's awesome, bone splintering guitar, bass and machine rumble was turned up a notch on their long sought after MESSIAH EP to reach new heights of mantric Metal hallucination..."

Godflesh Streetcleaner CD  (1990)

Messiah album
CD $11.59  4.7 stars Definitive Album
Godflesh's first full album built on the strengths of their self-titled EP and then some, resulting in one of the darkest, best classics of grindcore (admittedly a label Broadrick himself always hated). Of course, in comparison to the nuclear-strength, hyperspeed thrash Broadrick initially found himself associated with thanks to Napalm Death, Streetcleaner doesn't so much grind as crawl, but it does with an awesome, bass-heavy power that feels like doom piled on top of further doom. Assisted with further guitar at points by past bandmate Paul Neville, Broadrick and Green simply explode with utter virulence, musically and lyrically. The song titles again evoke images of mechanistic destruction and organic decay, while Broadrick's roared words, when audible, contain such user-unfriendly lines like "Breed...like rats!" and "Don't hold me back, this is my own hell!" And these from the first two songs alone, the latter of which, one of the band's best numbers, has the title "Christbait Rising." Compared to so many metal wimps who invoke Satan and death in the cheesiest of ways, though, Godflesh let their own brusque impact do the talking for them, and the result is suitably apocalyptic. Drum machines shatter, shudder, and downright assault, while the riffs the two (or three) cook up are bludgeoning, well worthy of Broadrick's partial inspirations the Swans, arguably the best comparable forebear if one is talking about albums like Cop or Young God. The secret to the success of the album is ...

Cabaret Voltaire Red Mecca CD  (1981)

Messiah CD music
CD $9.39  3 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
RED MECCA is one of the strongest offerings in the wildly eclectic catalogue of this seminal art-noise ensemble. Crucial to the development of electronic dance music, Cabaret Voltaire experimented with hardcore industrial, avant-garde noise, house, and electronica. The music on 1981's RED MECCA falls somewhere between these categories, borrowing a bit from each. Bookended by warped, unsettling versions of the theme music from the Orson Welles film TOUCH OF EVIL, RED MECCA spins the listener though a sinister soundscape that is mesmerizing, challenging, and, at times, danceable. In Cabaret Voltaire's world, nothing is as it seems. Vocalist/bassist Stephen Mallinder's rants are electronically manipulated to blend into Chris Watson's tape loops, while Richard H. Kirk's wiry synthesizer and guitar lines create an almost underwater effect. The programmed drums are punchy and aggressive, giving the whole an insistent, violent edge. It is oddly fascinating to listen to this synth- and tape loop-based music in the wake of the avalanche of '90s IDM and laptop artists. Although ...

Isis Oceanic CD  (2002)

Messiah music CDs
CD $13.39  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Oceanic is the next logical step for Isis after the ugly, grandiose Celestial, the Aaron Turner-led outfit's second full-length looking simultaneously inward and outward, reaching into the nether regions of outer space while still keeping its feet firmly earthbound. Yes, it's an ambitious record, one that isn't immediately consumed and digested -- rather, it consumes and digests the listener with grand and hypnotic waves of sound. Songs blur together as aggressive, post-hardcore guitar riffery trades with lengthy, meditative bouts of electronic exploration, a technique that would result in plodding, pretentious mush in less capable hands. Instead, Oceanic successfully mirrors the dense, unimaginable power of its namesake, combining the minimalist metallic art of Godflesh with the bipolar mood swings and Black Sabbath muscle of West Coast brethren Neurosis. Turner's deathcore growl-shouts serve to puncture the instrumental tension that balloons slowly and painstakingly inflates throughout the album's 63 minutes, with ex-Dirt Merchants singer Maria ...

Jello Biafra Never Breathe What You Can't See CD  (2004)

Messiah album
CD $13.09  5 stars Definitive Album
NEVER BREATHE WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE pairs underground icon and former Dead Kennedys vocalist Jello Biafra with the grungy alternative metal band the Melvins (the Washington-based group that influenced Mudhoney and Nirvana). Biafra and the Melvins are a great combination: the album is quick-witted and topically insightful, yet balanced by crunchy Black Sabbath-inspired riffs and gleeful hard-rock posturing. There are equal doses here of thoughtful irony, social critique, and sheer head-banging fun, and the result far exceeds both Biafra's often long-winded spoken-word outings and the Melvin's dark sludgefests. Biafra has long been one of music's most uncompromising spokesmen, and his special knack for skewering public figures, politicians, and the shallower aspects of American culture is in full flower on this project. "The Lighter Side of Global Terrorism" ridicules post-9/11 "heightened security" in the U.S. via a character sketch of an airport security guard. "Islamic Bomb" calls the Bush administration to task on foreign policy, while "Yuppie Cadillac" is a glorious dose of nose-thumbing at the trappings of wealth and social status. Biafra's trademark sneer and whine complement the Melvins' heavy thunder, bringing together two sides of subversion: acerbic lyrical wit, and the visceral assault of heavy rock. Jello ...

Jesu CD  (2005)

Messiah CD music
CD $11.79  4.3 stars Audio Samples
Named after the last track on HYMNS, the final Godflesh album, Jesu is a literal extension of singer/guitarist Justin Broadrick's pioneering industrial-metal work. (In fact, Jesu's line-up often includes latter-day Godflesh drummer Ted Parsons, formerly of Swans and Prong.) While the British act's 2005 self-titled full-length outing can hew closely to the crushingly heavy Godflesh sound (see the ominous, rumbling "Your Path to Divinity" and the pummeling "Man/Woman"), the record takes that dark, chilly aesthetic and gives it a surprising degree of emotion and warmth, particularly on the ...
