Description

Needles Into the Ground contains material by Khost which has been elementally transformed by Justin Broadrick of Godflesh. The original Khost material – taken from their second album Corrosive Shroud – is dense, multifaceted and purgatorial with no straightforward ‘stems’ based approach. Broadrick has extracted what he needed for his work whilst in pure Godflesh mode. As a result, the outcome is claustrophobic and frenetic, the experience akin to being in the proximity of a large, unstable machine on the verge of meltdown. In addition to these pieces, Khost has added a new track. 26 mins.

“If it was a painting it would be about a kilometer wide held up by old, thick metal supports and wires that creak in wind, in parts abstract, in parts quite hard to decipher, and the materials would be oil like and seeping, never quite drying out” (Khost).

Track listing:

1. Inversion (6:12)
2. A Shadow On The Wound (7:49)
3. Revelations Vultures Jackals Wolves (6:54)
4. Deathsset (4:45)

Reviews:

“The result of this collaboration between the two Brummie scrap meal merchants is suitably corrosive as they mangle together bruising beats, jagged riffs and a cold industrial clamour… Heady, heavy and harsh, these needles puncture with dramatic effect.” (Terrorizer)

“The EP’s four tracks are reworkings of tracks from the aforementioned ‘Corrosive Shroud’ and aren’t so much deconstructed and reconstructed as mangled to fuck with the distinctive pounding metallic drum machine noise and snarling bass of Godflesh devouring and regurgitating the source material. Chewed up, spat out, stomped and spewed over, the output is seriously punishing.” (9/10, Whisperin’ And Hollerin’)

“El resultado de este experimento son sonidos rítmicos y raspantes, cercanos a las pistas de baile,Khost (Deconstructed And Reconstructed By) Godflesh – “Needles Into The Ground” rebosantes de ira y odio, ideales para teñir la noche de desolación… Broadrick ha sabido comprender la esencia de Khost y adaptarla a su estilo, generando un trabajo único en su especie… un disco que aporta una nueva perspectiva al demoledor sonido de Khost, dotándolo de dinamismo sin desaprovechar su fuerza en ningún momento.” (8.75, Mentenebre)

“The EP is a scintillating exercise on how Godflesh can make something already heavy, even heavier and without sacrificing anything to make it feel dumbed down, pretentious or contrived… Everything is sent into the depths of despair before being packaged in the industrial mill: from the moment Needles Into The Ground opens, to when it finishes, there isn’t an inch of let up and it is fantastic… It’s been a damn good year for industrial music, and this tiny collection of remixed tracks most definitely falls into some of the best music I’ve heard this year” (4.5/5, Sputnik Music)

“These four track is a statement of a form which isn’t aged in all those years perhaps because it was too personal to generate a scene and become popular. Another sure pick for Godflesh’s fans.” (Chain D.L.K.)
