Upon receiving the news that and would no longer be performing as Godflesh live, I (Dean) was pretty crushed. Then I reminded myself that not only had I had the chance to see them but that@drifterriffs was able to open for them and there are not many people who can say that in the world.

So, a huge THANK YOU to Justin and Ben for the opportunity and for being so gracious and amazing to see and for the decades of pushing the envelope and broadening horizons through their art. I am endlessly grateful for the inspiration you've provided me through the years. Cheers.

Many thanks once again to Sid at Too Much Rock for taking the time to come see us and put in all that work writing us up, appreciate you!

Tonight, Dec 20 at The Bottleneck we place the capstone on a banner year for this art experiment. Never in a thousand years would we have imagined such a time. Our gratitude for so many connecting with our music is endless.

Grigori was realized thanks to Eric Graves , Tyson Schroeder and Jeff Irvine and came into the world in stunning formats through the efforts of Thoughtcrime Digital , Skunt Productions and Subterria Records

We met and played with some truly amazing musicians at our favorite places. Played a set in prison. Todd Zimmer shot portraits of our visage for the first time and Carl Schultz at ACTION! Public Relations put us in touch with many writers for some great conversations.

Thank you, all.

If you are in the area, we would love your presence at Driftmist tonight. We will have limited copies of the new Grigori LPs in all 3 variants, air shipped from Europe to get here in time. New zip ups, longsleeves and shirts from LFK Press and we will be playing our newest song 'Bones Ring Like Bells' for the first time.

See you tonight.
