Needles Into The Ground

Needles Into the Ground contains material by Khost which has been elementally transformed by Justin Broadrick of Godflesh. The original Khost material - taken from their second album Corrosive Shroud (CSR 211CD) - is dense, multifaceted and purgatorial with a straightforward stems based approach. Broadrick has extracted what he needed for his work whilst in pure Godflesh mode. The outcome is claustrophobic and frenetic, the experience akin to being in the proximity of a large, unstable machine on the verge of meltdown. In addition to these pieces, Khost has added a new track. Khost on the album: If it was a painting it would be about a kilometer wide held up by old, thick metal supports and wires that creak in wind, in parts abstract, in parts quite hard to decipher, and the materials would be oil like and seeping, never quite drying out.
