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.
Godflesh: Justin K. Broadrick (vocals, guitar); GC Green (synthesizer, bass programming, samples).
Recorded between 1994 & 1995.
Personnel: Justin Broadrick (guitar); G.C. Green (synthesizer, sampler).
Audio Mixer: Godflesh.
Recording information: Avalanche (1994-1995).
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 Originally made available only to members of the group's fan club back in 1994, Messiah's recording coincided with what most experts consider the group's commercial and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

Messiah
 $11.89  
Godflesh: Justin Broadrick (vocals, guitar); Paul Neville (guitar); G. Christian Green (bass).
Recorded at Soundcheck, Birmingham, England from May to August 1989, and Square Dance, Derby, England in May 1989.
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 ...
| | Godflesh Pure CD (1993)
Messiah
$14.09 
For Godflesh's second formal album, a new member was recruited to replace Paul Neville (though in an odd twist he appears on the first three minutes of "Love, Hate (Slugbaiting)," in fact a live sample of the old band he, Broadrick, and Green used to be in, the Fall of Because). The choice was an inspired one -- Robert Hampson of Loop was then dissolving that band and beginning his initial work as Main. Loop and Godflesh had already toured together and put out a very rare split single where each band covered the other, a mutual appreciation society that led to Hampson's recruitment. He only appears on half the album's tracks, but his efforts on "I Wasn't Born to Follow" and "Don't Bring Me Flowers" slot in very nicely with the band's philosophy of overwhelming if sometimes beautiful noise (the intro to the latter is actually quite lovely). Broadrick himself expressed disappointment with both Pure and the Cold World EP, as both were recorded on eight-track machines and didn't have the full room for experimenting that he wanted. The end results are still worthy stuff, though, even if opening ...
| | Isis Oceanic CD (2002)
Messiah
$13.05 
2nd Full Length. Guests: Maria Christopher/Ayal Naor Of '27'
Isis: Jeff Caxide, Michael Gallagher, Aaron Harris, Aaron Turner, Bryant C. Meyer.
Additional personnel: Ayl Noar, Maria Christopher.
Audio Mixer: Matt Bayles.
Recording information: Fort Apache (04/2002-05/2002); New Alliance (04/2002-05/2002).
Photographer: Jason Hellmann.
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 ...
| | Jello Biafra Never Breathe What You Can't See CD (2004)
Messiah
$12.79
Jello Biafra: Jello Biafra; Osama Benet Milosevic (guitar); George W. McVeigh (bass instrument); Saddam Disney.
Personnel: Osama McDonald (vocals); Saddam Disney (guitar, drums, percussion); Jon Benet Milosevic, Adam Jones (guitar); Lady Monster, Wendy O-Matik, Tom Five, Adrienne Droogas, Johnny NoMoniker, John The Baker, Jesse Luscious, King Buzzo, Ali G. North, Loto Ball (background vocals).
Additional personnel: Adam Jones (guitar); Wendy D-Matik (background vocals); Ali G. North.
Audio Mixer: Tosh Kasai.
Recording information: Hook Studios, L.A; Hyde St. Studios, S.F; Mothra's Cave.
For Never Breathe What You Can't See, Jello Biafra has stowed his spoken word pulpit behind the enormous amplifiers of the Melvins. But his reinsertion as a frontman hasn't dulled his political haranguing or biting cynicism -- on the contrary, it seems to have invigorated him. With Buzz Osborne's guitar walking point, the Melvins deploy a hybrid of full-bore Dead Kennedys revivalism and their own brand of sludgy metal. Their fans might wish ...
| | Jesu CD (2005)
Messiah
$11.05
Side Project Of Justin K. Broderick (Godflesh Founder).
Original Soundtrack/Jesu: Paul Neville (guitar); Justin Broadrick, Diarmuid Dalton (bass guitar); Ted Parsons.
Personnel: Justin Broadrick (vocals, guitar, programming); Paul Neville (guitar); Ted Parsons (drums, percussion).
Recording information: Avalanche (2001-2004); Oslo, Norway (2001-2004); SubSonic Society (2001-2004).
Photographer: Justin Broadrick.
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 slow, pensive "Tired of ...
| | Ministry Rio Grande Blood CD (2006) Digipak
Messiah
$10.69
Various Artists/Ministry: Al Jourgensen.
After the fierce, politically charged HOUSES OF THE MOLE and its companion piece, RANTOLOGY, Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen launches another anti-George W. Bush sonic invective with RIO GRANDE BLOOD. Amazingly, this 2006 outing manages to be even more scathing than the aforementioned releases, due to yet another round of strategically placed and cleverly manipulated sound bites (particularly on the pummeling title track) and the added musical muscle of guitarist Tommy Victor, formerly of the revered prog-metal trio Prong, and bassist Paul Raven, a member of industrial-rock pioneers Killing Joke. Further adding to the mix are guest vocals by the always-outspoken Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys) and Liz Constantine, resulting in Ministry's most dynamic outing since 1992's PSALM 69.
Another salvo in Ministry's ...

Messiah

Someone kindly forgot to tell the members of Axxis that everyone outside of Germany thinks they broke up immediately after releasing their debut, Kingdom of the Night, in 1989. How else to explain the band's insistence on recording many of their subsequent albums with the help of name producers on American soil, where no one was any the wiser. Released in 2004, Time Machine is -- get this -- the band's eighth studio album and, all kidding aside, perhaps the biggest point of concern would be that their sound has progressed hardly one bit since birth, with the occasional use of speed metal-derived double kick-drums as possibly the only exception. Having said all that, first single "Angel of Death" is palatable enough (although some may have been hoping for a cover of the Slayer classic, chances are Axxis have ...
