Godflesh‘s Justin K Broadrick was recently interviewed by MetalSucks and was asked about the status of the bands new album, the tentatively titled “A World Lit Only By Fire“. Broadrick replied:
“It’s almost entirely demoed now and we aim to record and mix it in the winter months, appropriately! It’s really taken some time to get this album in shape. I never wanted to rush this new album, but it will definitely be released in May 2014!”
When asked about what to expect from the effort, he offered:
“It’s very much like the Godflesh of old, as in the first few albums, up to and including Selfless. It’s brutal, minimal, direct, punishing, unforgiving, surreal, discordant, and so on! But it also has a few songs with hip-hop beats, quite like Pure but much bigger!”
The band will hit U.S. shores next month for this brief October tour.
