Birmingham, England, United Kingdom (1988 – 2002, 2010 – present)

Godflesh are an band from Birmingham, England, United Kingdom, formed in 1988 by Justin Karl Broadrick (guitar, vocals, and programming) and G. C. Green (bass). They are highly regarded as one of the founders of . The group disbanded in 2002 but reformed in 2010, appearing in few festivals and starting to produce a new studio album.

In 1988, Broadrick contacted Green about reforming Fall Of Because, who fell apart in 1987. Justin decided to take over on guitars, and they chose to use a drum machine to replace Justin as a drummer. The newly formed band 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. That same year they released an album of new material, Hymns, which featured the precise drumming of new band member Ted Parsons (formerly of Swans and Prong) and brought the band back to its slow and heavy roots while retaining elements of its experiments with electronica.

    Haven’t really got into their early stuff but i always seem to keep coming back to Us And Them, this is experimentation which actually works, The Internal is some amazing fucking song, at times this album & Pitchshifter's - Industrial seems to give me that early Fear Factory vibe,.but taking no respect away from godflesh or pitchshifter as i think without them fear factory would have sounded very very different. \m/
