Huge atonal bass chords, then?

not so sure about that. jesu is cool and all, but godflesh was fuckin godflesh.

Not crap for sure.
1st mini album is highly not crap.
I was going to see this band support Nirvana at SOAS in London when I crashed my fucking motorbike into a twat who u-turned without looking and broke my arm.
This was a while ago but I am still right bitter about it.

"streetcleaner" is the classic. song after song, it's really great and original.

word up, thanks...

Dude, don't listen to that
Get Pure, it's one of the best records I have ever heard.

You will enjoy streetcleaner later better if you hear Pure first, Streetcleaner is a little too 'Oh they are an industrial death metal band'
Pure is a masterpiece, listen at full volume
