Apart from the similarity in name, the band assures me that they sound nothing
like their Scandanavian counterparts with a similar name. Instead Godhead fuses
oscillating percussion, calculated guitar chords and unusual keyboard patches
into their own unique style of music. The album opens with 'Gimp' and
'Penetrate' both of which use slower tempos than most electronic bands. The
third track is an amusing version of the Beatles classic 'Eleanor Rigby' set to
cadenced drums, analogue synths, and rather odd samples. The lead vocalist
performs admirably as a John Lennon stand-in even if this track seems out of
place. This tracks also marks the first of three tracks on which John DeSalvo,
who has performed live with bands like Chemlab and KMFDM, plays drums. Overall
"Power Tool Stigmata" is a very moody album, with as many slow, pensive tracks
as fast, vibrant tracks. One could almost consider Godhead a Gothic
Industrial crossover from that fact alone.
