Songs of Love and Hate is industrial metal band Godflesh's fourth album. It was released on 20 August 1996, on Earache Records. This album shows a slight change in Godflesh's sound through the incorporation of EBM rhythms with the band's trademark guitar riffs. This is the first Godflesh release to include full lyrics, as well as a studio drummer, Bryan Mantia, which gave the album a more "traditional heavy metal" sound, with Allmusic observing that "never before has the group rocked so hard, sounding tighter as a unit and more human than ever before".[1]
