Where this album fits

Career context
By 1999, Godflesh was transitioning from their earlier groundbreaking work to a more nuanced sound with 'Us and Them'. This album followed the duo's significant influence on industrial metal and sludge metal, building on the foundations laid by their previous release, 'Songs of Love and Hate' in 1996. The shift reflects both artistic maturity and an exploration of new themes.
