Sometimes I think of Godflesh as a partial version of the career Michael Gira might have had if he'd never met Jarboe, or if he hadn't gotten sick of the audiences early Swans were drawing. Though that might be a bit simplistic - Broadrick had a separate style and set of lyrical concerns even if the similarities are…
