[edit] Sound and influences Inspired by Big Black, Killing Joke, Swans and Throbbing Gristle as well as fellow Brummies Black Sabbath, Godflesh were among the pioneers of industrial metal, influencing well-known bands such as Danzig, Faith No More, Fear Factory, Helmet, Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, and even the Beastie Boys. [1] [2] (It is rumoured that Broadrick declined offers to join Danzig and Faith No More. [3]) Their influence can be heard even more distinctly in bands including Pitchshifter and Isis.

Godflesh is known for their unique mixture of industrial drum machine beats with droning, discordant guitar and powerful, intermittent bass. (On their earlier albums, the rhythms, synths, and samples are credited to "Machine" or "Machines". Later, Godflesh would make use of human drummers Bryan Mantia and Ted Parsons.)

Broadrick's vocals are often guttural, making use of something akin to the death grunt technique, yet they also at times show a softer, more melodic side, as in "I Wasn't Born to Follow" from 1992's Pure. Godflesh lyrics are terse, cryptic, and bleak, often emphasizing duality or opposition, as illustrated by the opening lines of "Defeated" (from 2001's Hymns): Death grunts, also referred to as death growls, death vocals or harsh vocals[1], is a vocalisation style usually employed by vocalists of the death metal musical genre, but is also occasionally used in a variety of other heavy metal sub-genres. ...

Contrary to popular belief, Godflesh never was a grindcore or death metal band. It was assumed that following his stint with legendary grindcore band Napalm Death Justin K. Broadrick would create another grindcore band. However, Justin did not like the direction in which grindcore bands such as Napalm Death were heading with hyper-fast music and wanted to incorporate influences spanning more than just hardcore punk. Though not a grindcore band, they have been cited as an influence by some grindcore and death metal bands. Even Justin's former band, Napalm Death, has taken influence of Godflesh, inspiring them to do the song "Contemptuous" on their Utopia Banished album. Utopia Banished is an album by the UK band Napalm Death. ...
[edit] Career trajectory 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, soon joined the group as drummer and vocalist. The band fell apart in 1986. 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.[5] This article is about the musical group. ...

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. Underground music is music which has developed a cult following, independent of commercial success. ...

– Justin Broadrick, Rip, June 1992 Our music is about hitting an emotional core in people with brutal power. At first all we wanted to do was crush our listeners, but then we wanted to hypnotize them. It's hard to put that into words, and I really can't put it into words.

[edit] Trivia - The Aztec term for Psilocybe mushrooms is Teonanácatl, or God's flesh. [9] (Broadrick claims that this is just a pleasant coincidence. [10])
- The image on the cover of Streetcleaner is a still from the movie Altered States, a 1980 horror film by director Ken Russell in which the movie's protagonist, scientist Eddie Jessup (William Hurt) explores other states of conciousness with the aid of hallucinogenic mushrooms and an isolation chamber . Photos from the insert sleeve for the album are taken from David Lynch's Eraserhead (another major influence cited by Broadrick). [11] Most of Godflesh's artwork has been borrowed from various movies Justin and Ben always liked.
- It is no accident that both Leonard Cohen and Godflesh have albums called Songs of Love and Hate. In "Mothra" (from Pure), Godflesh "borrows" the lyrics "Your pain is no credential here / It's just the shadow of my wound" from the song "Avalanche" on the aforementioned Cohen album. [12] [13]
- Broadrick's independent record label is named "Avalanche Inc." [14]
- Contrary to popular belief, the album cover artwork for "Songs of Love and Hate" and "Love and Hate in Dub" are photographs in two complete different locations. Both may have a cross and a factory backdrop setting but they were taken in two unrelated locations. [15]
- Kirk Hammett (of Metallica) has been a big fan of the band for quite some time. In 1994, he even recorded some material with Justin. One day, Godflesh showed the video for Crush My Soul (by Andres Serrano) to Kirk and he loved it. Metallica later used a piece of footage by Andres for their cover on the album Load. In a later interview with Kirk, he is asked where the band got the idea of the cover. Kirk tells the interviewer that he saw something on television about Andres Serrano and that is how it came about, not giving any credit to (or even aknowledging the existence of) Godflesh. Justin says, "There's no copyright on Serrano. We'll be the first to admit that. But we planted the seed, and unfortunately we're not getting the credit, obviously." Fortunately, in at least one situation, Kirk has commended the band and also has stated that they are the "heaviest band in existence". [16]
- Justin Broadrick has been asked to join Danzig and Faith No More as a band member full time but Justin wanted to be focused on Godflesh during the time. [17]
- Once Earache merged with Sony (Columbia) Godflesh got the chance to do soundtracks. In 1995, they appeared on the soundtrack to the movie Hideaway. They also appear in the movie itself. During one of the club scenes, they are playing onstage in the background, performing the song Nihil. [18]
