Godflesh
Godflesh are an English industrial metal band from Birmingham. The group formed in 1982 under the title Fall of Because but did not release any complete music until 1988 when Justin Broadrick (guitar, vocals and programming) and G. C. Green ( bass) renamed the band and decided to use a drum machine for percussion. Melding heavy metal with industrial music and later with electronic music and dub, Godflesh's sound is widely regarded as a foundational influence on other industrial metal and post-metal acts and as significant to both experimental and extreme metal. The band signed to Earache Records in the late 1980s and released their debut album '' Streetcleaner'' (1989) to contemporary and lasting acclaim. After the release of their sophomore album ''Pure'' (1992) and their major label debut '' Selfless'' (1994), they started experimenting with live drums as well as hip hop and breakbeat sounds. The resulting albums, ''Songs of Love and Hate'' (1996) and ''Us and Them'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hyde Park, London
Hyde Park is a Grade I-listed major park in Westminster, Greater London, the largest of the four Royal Parks that form a chain from the entrance to Kensington Palace through Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park, via Hyde Park Corner and Green Park past the main entrance to Buckingham Palace. The park is divided by the Serpentine and the Long Water lakes. The park was established by Henry VIII in 1536 when he took the land from Westminster Abbey and used it as a hunting ground. It opened to the public in 1637 and quickly became popular, particularly for May Day parades. Major improvements occurred in the early 18th century under the direction of Queen Caroline. Several duels took place in Hyde Park during this time, often involving members of the nobility. The Great Exhibition of 1851 was held in the park, for which The Crystal Palace, designed by Joseph Paxton, was erected. Free speech and demonstrations have been a key feature of Hyde Park since the 19th century. Speakers' Cor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Loop (band)
Loop are an English rock band, formed in 1986 by Robert Hampson in Croydon. The group topped the UK independent charts with their albums ''Fade Out'' (1989) and ''A Gilded Eternity'' (1990). Their dissonant "trance-rock" sound drew on the work of artists like the Stooges, Suicide and Can, and helped to resurrect the concept of space rock in the late 1980s. The group split in 1991, with Hampson going on to form the experimental project Main with guitarist Scott Dawson, and Mackay and Wills forming The Hair and Skin Trading Company. In 2013, the 1989–90 line-up of Hampson, Dawson, John Wills, and Neil Mackay briefly reformed for a series of gigs, and the following year Hampson unveiled a new line-up of the band with himself as the sole original member. Career Loop were formed in 1986 by Robert Hampson (vocals, guitar), with his then-girlfriend Becky Stewart on drums. Stewart was later replaced by John Wills (The Servants) and Glen Ray, with James Endeacott on guitar.Strong, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Xnoybis
"Xnoybis" is a song by the industrial metal band Godflesh, taken from the album '' Selfless'' (1994). It was released in 1995 through Earache Records as a CD, and was also distributed as a promotional to radio stations. The song Godflesh frontman Justin Broadrick explained that "Xnoybis" is a song about spiritual transcendence, and that much of the rest of the album carries that theme. Musically, the song features a pummeling drum machine loop and a simple, harmonics-based guitar riff that repeats throughout. Uncharacteristically for Godflesh, the song also has piano in it. "Xnoybis" was one of AllMusic critic Ned Raggett's favourite songs off of ''Selfless''. While the psychofuckdub of "Xnoybis" also appears on the "Crush My Soul" single, and the original version appears on the album ''Selfless'', the clubdub and edit versions are unique to this release. In 1994, Broadrick called the eighteen-minute psychofuckdub remix "the most experimental thing Godflesh has ever done". Tra ...

Love And Hate In Dub
''Love and Hate in Dub'' is remix album by industrial metal band Godflesh released on 24 June 1997 through Earache Records. The remixed songs are sourced from their 1996 album ''Songs of Love and Hate'', and they adopt a more ambient, dub and drum and bass flavor. Background and content Originally, Godflesh frontman Justin Broadrick wanted to get hip hop's top producers to remix the tracks for ''Love and Hate in Dub'' (which was tentatively titled ''Songs of Love and Hate in Dub''). This ultimately proved too expensive. As a result and unlike most remix albums, all tracks on ''Love and Hate in Dub'' were made and reworked in-house, done by Godflesh's two members, Broadrick and G. C. Green. Broadrick saw ''Love and Hate in Dub'' as a sort of response to ''Songs of Love and Hate'', which he found "flat" in comparison. Regarding the remix album, Broadrick said: According to Broadrick, the overall fan consensus was that ''Love and Hate in Dub'' was a step up from its source stud ...

Crush My Soul
"Crush My Soul" is a song by industrial metal band Godflesh, taken from the album '' Selfless'' (1994). It was released in 1995 by Earache Records on 12" vinyl and CD. The single's two remixes were also included on the ''Selfless/Merciless'' compilation released on Earache Records in 1996. Music and critical reception Regarding the song "Crush My Soul", Godflesh frontman Justin Broadrick said: Richard Fontenoy, a contributor to '' Rough Guide to Rock'', stated in the book that "Godflesh's breakthrough into metal acceptance has a tendency towards mechanical, headbanging sameness, though the excellent 'Crush My Soul' is based around an asthmatically weaving sample loop." Ned Raggett of AllMusic wrote, "Songs like 'Anything Is Mine' and 'Crush My Soul', the latter infused with a strange breathing rhythm loop, or so it sounds, capture this version of major-label Godflesh pretty well, both unpleasant enough to keep the wimps away and accessible enough to win over the more open-minde ...

Songs Of Love And Hate (Godflesh Album)
''Songs of Love and Hate'' is the fourth studio album by English industrial metal band Godflesh. Released on 20 August 1996 through Earache Records, it is the band's first album to feature live drums, played by drummer Bryan Mantia, and a more traditional heavy metal sound, generally lacking the experimental and mechanical elements of previous releases. The cover is a photograph of Cancer Alley, Louisiana. An accompanying dub-inspired remix album, ''Love and Hate in Dub'', was released in 1997. Both records were reissued by Earache in 2009. Music and composition The choice to replace Godflesh's signature drum machines with Bryan Mantia as a human drummer stemmed from Justin Broadrick's growing dissatisfaction with the limitation of mechanical percussion. After initially making ''Songs of Love and Hate'' with machines, Broadrick decided that there was a lack of dynamic range and groove. About the search for the proper drummer, Broadrick said, "The aim was to get a drummer who ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
