Background

The EP, as well as the upcoming album, features extensive use of eight-string guitar. The guitar was provided by Blakhart, which released a Justin Broadrick eight-string signature guitar On its use on upcoming Godflesh releases, he stated:

"I have been playing an 8 string guitar for a few years now, first release that was 8 string was the Jesu's Christmas EP in 2010. All new Godflesh, both the EP and the new LP, were written and recorded with an 8 string, mainly due to the ability to tune even lower coupled with the capability to achieve more complex dissonant chords and riffs. On the latest Jesu LP Everyday I Get Closer to the Light from Which I Came, "The Great Leveller" is with 8-string guitar.

Pitchfork 7.9/10[4]

Zoe Camp of Pitchfork gave the album a positive review, writing, "Avant and yet strangely accessible, industrially-minded but all-embracing, Decline and Fall confirms that a decade-plus-long absence has dulled neither Godflesh’s industrial spirit, nor their devotion to experimentation."

Metal from a Metal/HardRock/Classic Uploader. Never to be found on my pages. Katy Perry Smiley Virus or Vermin van Burin(who is he)and many others who will disappear after the 15 seconds of "Fame" I dont care Im not a content whore. I like and listen to the stuff I post thats why I post it. Understand? Cool. Some reggae makes the cut and of course Johnny Cash.But 9o percent is Metal-Hard Rock and just a bit of the Classic Rock
