Notable figures such as Tim Hodgkinson, from RIO pioneers Henry Cow, and Justin Broadrick, formerly of Napalm Death and later of Godflesh, eventually joined the band full time. John Zorn also worked with this group. Numerous releases by the congealed nine-piece over the next four years explored dark fusions of punk, industrial, electronic, free jazz and ambient dub. This was the first of Martin's collaborations with Broadrick; Techno Animal and Ice following later.

the legend of God band have roots back in time. Formed in 1993 in Iasi - the capital of medieval Romania, by Lapusneanu brothers, Constantin si Eugen.
By that time, were launched 3 demos own production: Iconografic I (1994), Iconografic II (1995) and Iconografic III (1996). with the last demo the band gets knowed at a larger scale. In short time, God became the best death extreme band in Romania.
next year, in 1997, they made a split with the black/death band, DIES IRAE, produced by Eurostar. This was calleda Iconografic & Apotropaic and it was considered the first GOD album, edited at the most prestigious record house of Romania, Bestial Records.
The first studio album was mistical called “From the Moldavian Ecclesiastic Throne” and it was released in 1997. The album smashed the romanaian and est european metal charts. it was recorded in Cologne, Germany, in Red Moon Mobil Studio. The album includes a own cover of Copycat, song of Lacrimosa.
They relocated in Portugal in 2002, God returned in 2006 with their Hell & Heaven EP on the Lusitanian land via Khaeotica Productions, described as "an impressive stylized and matured sound depicting a Barbarian Viking Metal shaped under the scepter of a Paganized spirituality."
4) GOD (spelt in capitals) was a rock 'n' roll band from Melbourne, Australia, together from 1986 to 1989 and comprising Joel Silbersher, Tim Hemensley, Sean Greenway and Matthew Whittle. All members were 15-16 at the time of the band's formation. Prior to GOD's formation, Hemensley had been a member of Royal Flush (with Roman Tucker, later of Rocket Science), Greenway and Whittle were members of Foot and Mouth, and Silbersher had his own radio show on 3RRR.
Their debut 7" single My Pal from 1987 is their best known track. It got very favourable reviews and sold in the thousands (which was a lot then for an independent band). It became an independent classic and cover versions have been recorded by several bands, including Magic Dirt, Peabody, The Hollowmen, Bored! and Bum.
GOD's first mini-album Rock Is Hell (1988), was released on Au-Go-Go Records with 4 different cover designs, one designed by each band member, due to the members' inability to agree on one cover design. Rock Is Hell was variously praised and panned by critics, but still sold respectably.
Their follow-up full-length album For Lovers Only (1989), also on Au-Go-Go, was a bigger budget production, and musically a big improvement. Although GOD had disbanded by the time it was released, the album was released on vinyl by three European labels. Au-Go-Go later released a CD of For Lovers Only, with My Pal and most of Rock Is Hell as bonus tracks.
The band's last gig was at the Central Club on 30 July 1989. Hemensley had already joined Bored! by then, and all the members went on to further musical projects, Hemensley later to the Powder Monkeys.
Silbersher was perhaps the most recognised, forming Hoss and Tendrils with Charlie Owen. Greasy Lens is his solo albums, and working with Tex Perkins. Also playing live with Dirty Three in 2006 and The Drones in 2010 singing My Pal on Mon 18 Jan – Last Drinks at The Tote
Greenway died of a heroin overdose in 2001. Hemensley died of a heroin overdose in 2003.

Riders Of Hell & Heaven
God Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Covering the Earth and Skies
With the shine and sharper wings
Lightings and fire from the eyes
On black and heavy horses
That they never look behind
Storm and thunders, Earth is shacking
When the black riders are passing!
Riders of Hell!!!
They ware named by the ancient ages
The apocalyptic Hell riders
Breaking the times of GOD
Riding against the land
Over the graves and seasons
Letting behind a tale
A tale of horror nightmares
And other stories about fear!
Riders of hell!!!
Fear despair, spoken by other legends
The apocalyptic hell riders
Screaming the song of evil
Flying against the lands
Under a full moon spells
Making to ring the bells
The bells of judgment day
They are the riders of...
Hell. Heaven
Angels... Please put the hands on me.
Riders... Please put the blades on them.
Angels... Please take the sins from me.
Riders... Please take the souls of them, right now!!!
The song "Riders of Hell and Heaven" is an intense depiction of an apocalyptic scene, where the riders of hell and heaven are covering the earth and skies. These riders are on black and heavy horses, with sharper wings, and fire coming out of their eyes. They are not afraid to ride against God and break the times of God. This imagery is quite intense, with storm and thunder, and the earth shaking when the black riders pass by. They leave behind tales of horror nightmares and fear.
The song seems to suggest that riders of hell and heaven symbolize good and evil. The term "Hell riders" refers to the demons, while "heaven riders" refers to angels. The apocalyptic hell riders are depicted as riding against the land, bringing fear and horror, while the angels are seen as carrying out justice and taking the souls of those who have sinned. The lyrics are a call to angels to take away the sins of the singer and a request to the hell riders to take the souls of others.
Overall, the song is a powerful depiction of the apocalyptic scene, with intense imagery and a clear focus on the concept of good and evil.
