Gang Of Four: Entertainment!
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
It was 1979 when the Gang of Four debuted with a work that would mark the beginning of a journey; a short album that assaults you with a sound infused with punk tones immersed in the emerging new wave, featuring that particular funk flavor that gives the album sounds never heard before. The sound is driven by sharp, fractured guitars that carve into the listening experience of a fundamental work for England and beyond; years later, "Damaged Gods" remains a track with a "cutting" sonic impact.

    What a blast this album is! I probably prefer it to the second one, which is more mature and angry, though.

    A potentially still lethal bomb. Just this morning I was listening to it in the car and it's always a wonderful flow of notes upon notes upon notes... Their album for me.
Godflesh: Streetcleaner
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
"You reproduce like rats, don’t look behind you, you have already been dead from the very beginning." This terrible scream opens the first full-length album, released in 1989, by "Carne di Dio." A claustrophobic, industrial sound, repetitive and obsessive in its oppressive bass lines; Justin's guitar, then in his twenties, capable of creating glacial riffs, terrifying in their heaviness. The stunning drum machine amplifies it all; the voice is a growl from a hellish inferno...MURDEROUS...

    I don't like it much. It has sounds that worked for me 15 years ago. The scorn of vae solis (a recent discovery) I like much more. But the fact is that industrial metal doesn't sit well with me: The Mind... by Ministry is very beautiful but there are too many guitars. I prefer industrial on its own and metal on its own. Respect for everyone, of course, just a matter of tastes on my part.

    And I can only respect your equally respectable arguments, Psycho; from my point of view, Godflesh were the undisputed masters of that sound so cold, glacial, detached but that I've always enjoyed listening to. Particularly up until the next album "Pure"; then they shifted towards more dub-influenced sounds, even more narcoleptic which I liked a bit less. Hello dear friend and happy 2015, we all need it.
Godflesh: Godflesh
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
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...
Grant Hart: Intolerance
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
In 1989, Grant's first solo work was released after the breakup of Husker Du; a separation that leaves its mark on the suffering, intimate, and calm songs heard in this album. Two years have passed since the split with Bob, marking the end of an irreplaceable friendship and artistic partnership; the boy from Minneapolis does everything by himself, playing the instruments and singing with that clumsy yet effective voice of his. "All Of My Senses" is the beginning: six minutes with a serene retro keyboard sound.
Grant Hart: Ecce Homo
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
The album opens with the applause of the few people present on that distant night twenty years ago in Seattle; then Grant arrives and the soft guitar notes of "Ballad No. 19" begin, with that initially subdued voice rising to dramatic intensity. And this heavy tension, both nervous and musical, will be felt throughout the brief duration of the concert until the conclusion that returns to us an author finally free, proud, ready once again to start anew...2541...
Greymachine: Disconnected
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Only the "sick", yet at the same time brilliant, minds of Justin Broadrick and Aaron Turner could create such a claustrophobic, incredibly heavy album, at times unbearable. An ideal soundtrack for a one-way trip to the deepest hell; anguish, despair, with Justin's and Aaron's psychotic screams shaping a spectral music that moves between sludge, industrial, dub, and noise. Don’t even try to listen to it: it's addictive...WE ARE ALL FUCKING LIARS...

    I put them on the same level; of course, mentioning Greymachine, Godflesh, Scorn, Isis, and Morbid Angel is not an everyday occurrence!!! If you don't know the previous work of Morbid Angel, "Domination," I strongly recommend "Covenant"... I think "strongly" is an accurate term for the infernal and morbid sound of the Florida band. Hi Psycho.
Grip Inc.: Power of Inner Strength
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
The Thrash Metal album of the entire nineties; even Slayer can't compete with Grip Inc.'s debut. It's the percussive tribal notes of the brief instrumental "Toque De Muerto" that initiate the subsequent sonic assault; the incredibly fast and twisted "Hostage To Heaven" and "Colors Of Death" demonstrate once again why Dave Lombardo is a technical monster on the drums. They wouldn't be able to replicate such ferocity with their later works...LONGEST HATE...

    never heard of them....but if you tell me they're even better than Slayer.
    I gather that the good old Dave Lombardo is also in the lineup.

    The band was formed by Dave Lombardo right after he left Slayer in the early nineties; what I want to highlight is the debut album released in 1995, which in my opinion is also the best record they've produced. Thrash Metal played incredibly well thanks to Dave's monstrous performance; they later released three more albums, all very interesting, but they don’t reach the heights of the debut. Give them a listen, you won’t regret it!!!!
