Title: Messiah
Product review: Originally recorded 94-95 and initially released on Broadrick's label Avalanche ( I own a copy of this version) in 2000 only to be re-released a few years label on Relapse...Nice to see that it can now be heard by people that maybe didn't hear it before. My thoughts?The first 4 tunes are great feeling somewhat like a cross between the gloomy but experimental atmosphere of Merciless while containing some of the accessible qualities of Selfless on the title track "Messiah". The vocals are more in the "sung" vien than in the gutteral yells Justin's vocals at this point were more known for- he does finally go for the throat towards the end of "Scape Goat". The rest of this EP are basically 4 re-envisioned Dub versions of the first 4 tracks. While not a huge fan of the dub and remix stuff- is nice to have on as a background piece- the first four reign supreme- for that alone, this disc is worth finding. Heavy, machine oriented, and pychedelic- just the way GF is meant to be heard.
