It's a noble effort, but nothing touches the original.

[malewhoreslag]

not bad,

but the original's still much more intense.

[jondhus]

@Beenyad this should be top comment.

[davethehostage]

It's incredibly rare that a cover is ever "better" than the original. This isn't Isis trying to play the song better than Godflesh, it's Isis' tribute to Godflesh for providing the framework for their earlier sound. It's a thank you note.

Both Godflesh and Isis fanboys need to shut up about who's the "better" band.

[killgorebill]

this can only be played on stereo's which volume goes way beyond 10

[MrNecrobutcher666]

good cover track

[auxemoron87]

saw Isis open for Tool, they are fucking LOUD. But Justins skreetching guitar always felt like blades on my spine. Long Live The New Flesh

[redsplash168]

Godflesh and Isis are apocalyptic stuff.

[MawoRinnGun]

I like very much Isis but Godflesh is more intense and disturbing

[X68]

@malewhoreslag i agree

[Beenyad]

every time i hear this song it makes me think of waking up in a sketchy, dark apartment building to the sound of people screaming and as i stumble to my front door i see people being dragged by black figures in nazi uniforms, leaving trails of blood. scared, i quickly shut the door and peek out the window and am awestruck by a pile of corpses being thrown in to an unidentifiable machine and burning buildings. just when the song ends i notice my reflection and to my surprise i wear a red armband
