Goddakk was started while Martin Newman was struggling to piece together his band Plumerai. It started as a project
he had intended to form into a band that would take on dark, oppressive songs ala The Cure’s Pornography. Impressed by solo artists that create huge soundscapes, he worked the songs together with the reverse delay and later elements of his more traditional songwriting creeped in with song- like structures. That fused with his desire for rhythm and structure (as opposed to noise for the sake of noise) led to the adding of Tricky inspired flow vocals run through a tremelo pedal giving tracks like “One Hundreds,” “Unfortunates,” & “Crucify You” more song-like qualities.
On Goddakk’s debut album Monument to a Ruined Age, the dominant instrument is a Fender VI bass run through loops & effects sounding like anything from a normal bass to breaking glass to a freight train. The final results end up sounding like a cross between Colin Newman, Coil, & The Legendary Pink Dots. An aggressive ambient music that could as easily fit the soundtrack to a David Lynch film as a car ride smuggling a dead body to Florida.
