"Slateman" is a song by industrial metal band Godflesh.[1] It was released as a single in 1991 on Sub Pop on 7",[2] and later re-released on Earache Records as a CD, 7" and 12". It was also re-released, along with Cold World, on one disc by Earache Records as the compilation Slateman/Cold World in 1996.[3][4]

Background

The song "Wound '91" is an updated version of the song "Wound" from Tiny Tears, which was released as bonus tracks on the Streetcleaner reissue by Earache Records.

The cover photograph was taken during a 1991 gig in London where the band was opening for Nirvana.[5]

Critical reception

Ira A. Robbins of Trouser Press wrote, "The four-song Slavestate EP finds the band charging full-on into an industrial-dance realm, giving Streetcleaner's lurch-and-crunch the twist of a rhythmic basis. The concurrent "Slateman" single found that format mutated into yet another shape".[6] Denise Falzon of Exclaim! described the live version of the song simply as "groovy".[7]
