Body of Light

by Halo

supported by

napalmsatan Some of the ugliest, nastiest metal I've heard in a while. Sludge, doom, industrial, psych and no wave combine into something hideously wonderful and deranged on this album. Favorite track: Filling the Empty Spaces With Cash.

Roger Walker sludgy industrial devastation Favorite track: Body of Light.

JAH This album is a lot more Swans-indebted and a little less experimental than its predecessor. Just cosmically heavy in the Swans/GF tradition without being derivative. Favorite track: Filling the Empty Spaces With Cash.

Dani Kupak In my particular History of Music the best thing since Streetcleaner.

about

Having punctured the harsh outer skin with ‘Guattari (From the West Flows Grey Ash & Pestilence),’ Halo burrow deeper into the corrupt inner flesh of post-industrial depravity and corporate disease with ‘Body of Light.’ A rumbling diatribe of fear, loathing and pure sonic oppression, ‘Body of Light’ swallows its listener with the density of a collapsing star.

The Gorgon Tongue: Impale Golden Horn + Forbidden Planet
by Horseback

Its’ beauty is in stark contrast to ‘Forbidden Planet’; a decidedly harsh record with its sinister tones and harsh, distorted black-metal vocals. Halo

Of Death and Ritual
by Culted

Running almost 30 minutes and including a cover of SWANS' “Whore”, ‘Of Death and Ritual’ marries the quartet’s droning depths with an almost another modern-day doomday. Halo

POST SELF

Dur de définir qu'elle est le meilleur album de GODFLESH, en fait ils ont tous leur singularité. Je trouve que sur cet album GODFLESH a atteint une sorte de perfection à leur musique, à la fois froide, brutale et industrielle mais aussi envoûtante et mentale. Cet album est un condensé du meilleur de GODFLESH, c'est pour moi l'album de la consécration. Je vais mettre "BE GOD" en titre préféré pour sa puissance, lourde et complètement mystique mais tous les titres sont excellents. gaston_macoute
