Godflesh are an English industrial metal band formed in Birmingham by Justin Broadrick and G.C. Green in 1988, known for a drum-machine-driven, monolithic heavy sound that influenced post-metal and industrial music.

Founders/members include Justin Broadrick (vocals, guitar) and G.C. Green (bass). The band pioneered a heavy industrial-metal sound using drum machines and low-tuned guitars; Justin Broadrick was previously involved with Napalm Death and later formed Jesu. The band issued seminal releases such as Streetcleaner and Pure, disbanded in the early 2000s and later reformed.

DeBaser's reviews present Godflesh as a foundational industrial-metal force: monolithic bass, drum-machine propulsion, and Justin Broadrick's uncompromising vocals. Reviews praise early classics (Streetcleaner, Pure) and the band's later returns. Recurring themes: cold, mechanical soundscapes, dub/techno contamination, and lasting influence on heavy music.

For:Fans of industrial metal, post-metal, experimental heavy music, and followers of Justin Broadrick's projects.

 They reaffirm themselves as the undisputed lords of the Industrial scene; an aseptic, icy, impetuous pounding that annihilates and overwhelms everything.

 “Streetcleaner” is not just a masterpiece of industrial metal, one of the most influential chapters in extreme music ever, the perfect vade mecum of how this music should be conceived, composed, and executed.
