Godhead Machinery is an black/death constellation
with the main purpose to analyze the ongoing greed and corruption that swallows all that can be eaten in this world.’
Through the four songs on this EP, when absorbed straight through, Godhead Machinery have created a truly harrowing and haunting experience. The music is multi-faceted and intricate, revealing (in the simplest of genre terms) an amalgamation of black, death, doom, and progressive metal that’s capable of generating visions of frightening calamity, earth-shaking upheaval, and terrible grandeur, but also casting mesmerizing spells and plunging the listener into moods of soul-shaking sorrow.
Rather than sounding like something thrown together quickly, the EP is elaborately plotted and meticulously performed, and creates a sense of a unifying vision that holds together from start to finish despite all the twists and turns. And it is indeed a harrowing vision constructed on a grand scale, commensurate with the band’s themes: “The conception of both the EP and upcoming album spawns out of what Godhead Machinerystands for in general: a tool to analyze how religious beliefs infiltrate laws, policy, behaviors, and moral codes of today’s society”.
“Masquerade Among Gods”.
The EP shares the same conceptual ideas as the forthcoming album and serves as an opening act to an exploration of human filth through Swedish blackened death metal.
