Godflesh – Nero (2023)

April 5, 2023

As someone who has always loved Us & Them despite the flaws it has, you wouldn’t believe how happy I was with the dubs that accompanied A World Lit Only by Fire. Then, in 2017, Post Self dropped, which was some serious shit. You’ll no doubt appreciate my excitement then, upon hearing Nero, that the trend of sick beats in Godflesh’s stuff is set to continue.

“Nero” itself is a claustrophobic, bludgeoning affair, but it starts to open up a bit and breathe more through its subsequent reworkings, in particular the dub version which is just fantastic.

Honestly, I am super hyped for the new album, Purge.
