Godflesh, founded by Justin Broadrick and G.C. Green in Birmingham, England, emerged in 1988 and became a pioneering force in the industrial metal genre.

Drawing on influences from heavy metal, post-punk, and early industrial acts, the duo crafted a unique sound marked by downtuned guitar riffs, mechanical drum programming, and an overarching sense of urban decay and existential angst. Their debut album, **Streetcleaner** (1989), is widely regarded as a landmark release, lauded for its punishing rhythms and bleak atmospherics. Throughout the 1990s, Godflesh continued to evolve, incorporating elements of electronic, dub, and hip-hop across influential albums such as **Pure** (1992) and **Selfless** (1994).

The group’s experimentation with drum and bass textures was especially pronounced on **Songs of Love and Hate** (1996) and **Us and Them** (1999), reflecting Broadrick’s interest in pushing musical boundaries. Despite lineup changes and a temporary disbandment in 2002, Godflesh’s legacy persisted, influencing countless artists across metal, electronic, and experimental music scenes. The band reunited in 2010, returning with new material including **A World Lit Only by Fire** (2014) and **Post Self** (2017), reaffirming their status as uncompromising innovators.

Godflesh’s DJ sets and production projects reflect the group’s trademark fusion of abrasive soundscapes and rhythmic precision, earning them a dedicated following among fans of underground music. Their career is marked by a refusal to conform, consistently breaking new ground and redefining the boundaries of heavy electronic music.
