Fall Of Because - Devastator (pre-Godflesh 1986)

Named after a Killing Joke song and formed in 1982 by GC Green (bass) and Paul Neville (guitar, tapes, programming), Fall Of Because were later joined by Justin Broadrick to become what would be later known as Godflesh. Broadrick does the vocals but also the drums (real ones) here. This song is off the Life Is Easy mini album, released in 1999 by Invisible recs. which contained studio and live recordings (featuring Nik Bullen of Napalm Death) from 1986-87. This is a quite different version from the one on Godflesh's Streetcleaner album, it's higher pitched, and much noisier in my humble opinion. Enjoy

Too bad Oomph! and Pitchshifter went highly commercial by their dramatic change of their original style after signing with major record companies.Sad because at least one of them came up with some amazing potential.By the way coming to think of it Godflesh kinda sounds like early Swans in some patherns

This is what I was hoping for, dark, beautifully intense and powerful. Music like this is what we need. I hate all this mainstream bullshit on TV and radio. Godflesh are seriouly one of the best and important bands of all time.
