Godflesh were an industrial metal band from Birmingham, England, United Kingdom, formed in 1988 by Justin K. Broadrick (guitar, vocals, and programming) and G. C. Green (bass). They are highly regarded as one of the founders of industrial metal. The group disbanded in 2002.
In 1982, Green founded Fall Of Because (named after a Killing Joke song) with Paul Neville. Broadrick, who had been playing guitar as a member of Napalm Death, joined the group in mid-1985 as drummer and vocalist. The band fell apart in 1987. Broadrick then spent a couple of years (1986-1988) as a member of Head of David. In 1988, he contacted Green about reforming Fall of Because. Justin decided to take over on guitars and they chose to use a drum machine to help out. They also decided to change their name to Godflesh.
Godflesh established a presence in underground music with albums such as Streetcleaner and Pure, which demonstrated the effectiveness of lo-fi production values in heavy music. A brief flirtation with major label Columbia Records in 1994 for Selfless and the Merciless EP saw the duo take on a more high-end production approach. In 1996 Godflesh released Songs of Love and Hate, which featured the drumming of Bryan Mantia (Guns N’ Roses, Primus, Praxis). The next album, 1999’s Us And Them, saw the group experimenting with a more electronic, drum and bass-oriented sound in which the guitar played a less central role. In 2001 Godflesh released the double album retrospective In All Languages.

@TheTruthSeker: Yeah I agree about the first jesu. Silver is the only Jesu album I really got into, and mostly I liked it because of the track "wolves". I wouldn't mind if he built on godflesh or the early jesu sound, but I would hate to hear a godflesh release that was just shoegaze released under the godflesh banner. Broadrick did do an agoraphobic nosebleed remix that sounded like a baby godflesh.

I'll shit bricks if they reunite for longer than just one gig.

The first Jesu album was like a Godflesh release under Jesu's name, so I'd still be into them reuniting if they built on that sound. Just as long as it doesn't sound anything like post-Silver Jesu.

I'd only be into the band reuniting if it was a new godflesh release, not a new Jesu release under godflesh's name.
