New Pale Sketcher EP Up for Preorder
So Pale Sketcher (one of a slew of Justin Broadrick projects that includes a reunited GODFLESH, jesu, GREYMACHINE, and who knows what else besides remixing just about everyone) is releasing Seventh Heaven (pictured above), an EP, that pushes the Pale Sketcher sound into new territory. The EP is supposed to be more rhythmic and less drone-y than the debut LP, Pale Sketches Demixed (pictured below and sold out through the label, Ghostly International).
The Vinyl version of Seventh Heaven is available now for order here.
It is on Grey Swirl vinyl and is limited to just 500 copies... a drop in the bucket in Broadrick land, so do not sleep on this if it appeals to you inn any way.

Godflesh Reunion
For all the difficulties, Godflesh still got to play. They have another festival date coming, and I wonder if maybe we might see more of them in the future.
From Justin Broadrick's Facebook page...
GODFLESH @ Hellfest. Okay, if you were in attendance for this then I am sure you are aware of how disappointed we were with what transpired, and we are sure you are / were most likely disappointed too.
I am afraid that it was all utterly beyond our control, we salvaged a performance out of what was a fairly ridiculous set of events. The power generator blowing during the set from The Young Gods, on just prior to us, was the catalyst for the ensuing chaos. At one point, performing at all was even in doubt. We had an hour allocated for both soundcheck and stage set up, since there is no soundcheck prior to the start of the festival, unfortunately, something that we really did need, but we were having to put our trust in the one hour allocated before performance, this one hour then became 20 short and extremely stressful minutes, with the stage management proclaiming that we must start immediately without any check of the sound, disastrous for us - additionally, the backline they hired in for us was not entirely correct or had faults with it, Ben's bass rig specifically, my guitar amp was not right either, the monitors were awful without the time for us to correct them sufficiently, resulting in not hearing virtually any of the Machine in the monitors for nearly all of our opener 'Like Rats', the DVD machine for our films was also somewhat faulty. In short, this was an absolute frustrating catalogue of disasters, presenting the band in, for us, one of the worst ways imaginable. We do though consider that we somewhat forged a performance out of a significantly bad situation.
We played 40 of our intended 60 minutes ; quite literally onstage I managed to turn 30 minutes into 40 due to ongoing arguments, during our set, with the stage management.
We're really sorry to everyone concerned that all this happened and hopefully this will all be rectified at the forthcoming GODFLESH performance at the Supersonic Festival, details below, for those who can make it, of course.
Thank you to Pascal
Bourdon for his picture here from the performance, I hope to receive some more here from Hellfest for putting in the photo section
