Godflesh - A World Lit Only By Fire mp3 download

It was released on 7 October 2014 through frontman Justin Broadrick's own label, Avalanche Recordings, and was the band's first full-length album since 2001's Hymns. It was preceded by the digital singles "New Dark Ages" in August 2014 and "Imperator" in September 2014, and it was followed by several international tours.

Much of the album doggedly refuses to deviate from the template of New Dark Ages, which itself isn’t that much of a departure from what Godflesh laid down on their 1989 debut album, Streetcleaner. The roboticized crust of the Godflesh of old, though, has been trimmed to fit an even bleaker era. Instead of being discreet compositions, these songs are segments of a single continuum, amputated from each other. That eerie blend of ugliness and melody doesn’t crop up often on A World Lit Only by Fire; when it does, it’s for terrific effect. Life Giver Life Taker and Imperator mix wailing echoes and spectral chants with chiseled riffs and insectoid rhythms, while Towers of Emptiness and Forgive Our Fathers trail off the same way-with Broadrick’s voice, naked and human, hovering over ghostly drones and incanting the title of the track like it’s a faded memory

The album features an eight-string guitar. In an interview with the French radio station Le 106, Broadrick stated: "It will be similar to the first two or three. I just think, like we're playing these shows, we feel very pure about we're doing and honoring the initial intentions with what we originally set out to do. Which, I think, like most bands and musicians and all the rest of it, by the time you get on to your fourth album, it's somewhat of a dilution going on to what you initially tried to achieve. Denise Falzon of Exclaim! wrote: "Complete with bleak, nihilistic themes, A World Lit Only by Fire is every bit the record fans have been waiting over a dozen years fo. Writing for The Guardian, Dom Lawson described the album as "a sustained and hypnotic march through minimalist, post-Sabbath landscapes, and crucifyingly heavy on every level.

A World Only Lit By Fire then showcases a very particular stage in Broaderick and Green's lives through the careful balance of the past with hindsight. Time and hardships have helped create a very aged, misanthropic view that is spewed both on the world at large and their own past works, dissecting them, mocking them and moving on. As much as it's immediately brutal, it's also a slow burner that seethes with this bitterness. Does it make for a consistent album" Not always as some songs feel underdeveloped. First paragraph doesn't make sense "Godflesh's latest album is something of a nostalgic conundrum; for a band that has such a varied back catalogue at what point do they start from? If Decline and Fall was any indication, everywhere yet nowhere at the same time, instead drilling down into the core with minute precision. I honestly have no clue what any of this is trying to say. Might be my own fault though(or I'm looking harder into than I need to, idk)
