Songs of Love and Hate is Godflesh's fourth official album. It was released in 1996 on Earache Records. This album shows a slight change in Godflesh's sound, incorporating more electronica and hip-hop elements while toning down the crushing heaviness of earlier releases. This is the first Godflesh release to include full lyrics, as well as a studio drummer, Bryan Mantia.
