Godflesh – Merciless (1994)

April 28, 2020

Merciless is a stunning record from the almost flawless Godflesh project. Nearly every part of me wishes that this EP was a bit longer and more of a full length experience. I love the feelings that Merciless invokes; deep melancholic passages are underpinned by guttural bass and clanking industrial rhythms. Imagine the fragility of what would come later with Jesu but set to a glowing apocalyptic rumble. A stunning EP and a true vision of how beautiful this harrowing kind of music can sometimes be.
