Godflesh was formed in 1988 in Birmingham, England. They are one of the pioneering bands in the industrial metal genre. The band was founded by Justin Broadrick, who previously played with Napalm Death, and G. C. Green. They are known for their innovative blend of heavy metal, industrial music, and electronic elements, creating a stark and influential sound that has resonated within the metal community.

Over the years, Godflesh has released ten studio albums, starting with Streetcleaner in 1989, which is widely regarded as a seminal work in industrial metal. Other notable albums include Pure (1992), Selfless (1994), and their comeback album A World Lit Only by Fire (2014) after disbanding in 2002 and reforming in 2010. In addition to their studio work, Godflesh has issued two live albums and several compilations, further cementing their legacy in the genre. While not known for commercial chart success or mainstream awards, Godflesh has earned critical acclaim and a dedicated following, influencing a wide range of artists across various music genres. Their work, particularly in the early albums, has been celebrated for its raw and unyielding portrayal of post-industrial urban life, combined with introspective lyrics and innovative production techniques.
