When Birmingham based duo Godflesh began creating their stark, hypnotic musical blueprint in the late 80’s, they were heralded as true innovators - crushing heaviness forged with such bleak soundscapes that it left listeners uneasy, wondering how music could be so unforgiving and enjoyable at the same time. "Hymns" is Godflesh's sixth official studio album, and the band returns to the relative simplicity of a guitar-bass-drummer lineup for this release.
