I was married when I joined the group, and my wife said, "Why don't you write a song about me?" So I wrote "She's got balls." And she asked for a divorce... more

One thing that has always impressed me about this apocalyptic debut from Godflesh is Justin Broadrick's age, just barely an adult at the time. A cruel, repetitive, detached, industrial sound: an aseptic drum machine, a distorted bass that tears apart, a guitar that sketches claustrophobic patterns; and finally a mantra-like voice, emerging from the dark infinite space, so chilling. This is the reissue featuring two more terrifying tracks...VEINS... more

Mine is not a definition, but a question. Does anyone know the original (I can't remember the title and performers) of the song that Pino Daniele released under the title "Io per te"? more
I am surrounded by fire and ice. My soul is numb and my skin is burned. The fervor of darkness chills my blood... could this be hell? Or just a dream? And what if it were... no... I no longer know anything... I no longer know who I am, nor where I am...

His imagery, his "descriptions" are today clichés, but much of the "stuff" seen and re-seen, read and re-read, many concepts, many ideas come from him, yet he remains inferior to the greatest of all, who is EAP. more
Together with his "twin" Dave Gahan, one of the most admirable musicians of the last thirty years; and thanks to this close duo, Depeche Mode withstand fashions and trends...SOOTHE MY SOUL... more
I reiterate once again, as I did in my recent writing about the album: it's a somewhat unsatisfactory record from my point of view, even though there are effective moments that hark back to their indispensable and imposing past. A work that I rated three stars, precisely because we're talking about CARCASS, who, along with Napalm Death, invented Grindcore at the end of the eighties...1985... more

With Verdena, the maximum is always expected, a lot is always demanded. The album does not disappoint expectations. more
"I have no absolute truth to believe in, I have no certainty in my pocket, and therefore I cannot give it to anyone. It's already quite good if I can share some emotion with you." more
Desperate post-punk vocals, new wave attitude, strong folk undertones, a guitar framework reminiscent of Albion blues, and an organ usage that seems to pay tribute even to Ray Manzarek and his Doors. more
