About Godflesh
Artist Biography
The British cult act Godflesh represent the sludgy underbelly of industrial metal. With roots reaching back to the mid-’80s goth project Fall Of Because, the Birmingham duo of guitarist and howler Justin Broadrick and bassist G.C. Green unleash a hammering collision of Black Sabbath-inspired dirges and D-beat crustiness with icily digital textures and pounding electronic beats. Released about a year after Broadrick’s short stint in Napalm Death ended, the group’s 1988 debut EP, Godflesh, and 1989 full-length, Streetcleaner, became industrial-metal landmarks, their influence sweeping across the fringes of metal and noise rock. Furthermore, Godflesh’s radical embrace of hip-hop breakbeats on 1992’s Pure (a sound Broadrick further explored in the side project Techno Animal) laid the groundwork for nu-metal innovators like Korn. The outfit dissolved after 2001’s hard-rock-focused Hymns; Broadrick devoted himself to a vast array of experimental projects, including the dreamy post-metal of Jesu, before Godflesh reunited in 2010. Both 2014’s A World Lit Only by Fire and 2017’s deconstructed Post Self are just as grinding, dystopian, and brilliantly unsettling as anything in their brutal catalog.
