Godhead makes no secret of its influences, proudly sporting sonic touches reminiscent of Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson. Like the work of those artists, Godhead's brand of industrial rock shifts back and forth between moody, murky electronics and driving, ear-piercing riffs and shrieks in the grand Ministry tradition. On 2000 YEARS OF HUMAN ERROR the band seems to lean a bit more towards the carefully-produced, apocalyptic soundscapes of NIN than the overt shock-rock of Trent Reznor's former proteges Marilyn Manson. But the one thing all three bands certainly share is the unleavened gloom and sonic evocation of tightly wound oppression that permeates the songs. Still, no one will come to Godhead's music expecting a beach party, and those enamored of heavy-hitting gloom-rock will find 2000 YEARS eminently satisfying.
