The Early Years - New York City 1997/1998

flowinglower This is Dope at their most primitive state, untouched by producers and before their signing with Flip Records. This is what they sounded like when I first heard them when I was 9, and they reminded me of Manson & Korn at the time, but of their own, with a different story. You almost get the entire debut album, Felons & Revolutionaries, - except for Intervention (why? I have the demo cassette) several demos you’ve already heard, and several demos you’ve probably never heard paired with an amazing booklet featuring all the old pictures all old school fans had saved on their computers that ran Windows 98, but you can’t find those pictures in good quality on the internet anymore. Felons was my favorite Dope CD until this came out. Favorite track: Little Fish.

POST SELF

Dur de définir qu'elle est le meilleur album de GODFLESH, en fait ils ont tous leur singularité. Je trouve que sur cet album GODFLESH a atteint une sorte de perfection à leur musique, à la fois froide, brutale et industrielle mais aussi envoûtante et mentale. Cet album est un condensé du meilleur de GODFLESH, c'est pour moi l'album de la consécration. Je vais mettre "BE GOD" en titre préféré pour sa puissance, lourde et complètement mystique mais tous les titres sont excellents. gaston_macoute

Hanzel Und Gretyl keep getting better with every release. Even when they were singing about beer they fucking killed it! Now they've brought in the dark arts with Black Forest Metal which blew me away. I listened to it over and over. Now with Germanic Satanik I am addicted all over again! I recommend their whole discography, you will not be disappointed. Wayne Young
