Summary

Over the course of Decay , Godflesh ‘s 10th and supposedly penultimate album, frontman Justin Broadrick utters less than 150 words total in just 42 minutes. When you do hear his voice, he shouts, whispers, and growls. His words are at once part of the rhythm section and profoundly personal poetry. So when he sings, “Forlorn/evermore” on the song “Living/Ending” in a way that stretches two words into four — “for … lorn … ever … more” — you feel his pain.
