This one's a grower, not a shower. While the Godflesh signature elements are present - hostile vocals, bulldozer bass, piercing harmonics riffs - they interact here in sleeker, more contained forms than in the sprawling classic early records. As its title suggests, this record feels like late-in-life expression - mournful, considered. You hear Justin Broadrick's Godflesh, Jesu, and JK Flesh sides converging here. fyeahmetal
