Godflesh is an experimental and influential British band that was formed in Birmingham in 1988 by former Napalm Death and Head Of David member Justin Broadrick and G. C. Green. They were pioneers of industrial metal, being one of the first bands to combine metal riffs with drum machine rhythms.

The group disbanded in 2002 but later reformed in 2009, continuing to push boundaries with their unique sound. Their early recordings featured the credit for 'drum machine' given to Machine.

With a legacy that spans over three decades, Godflesh remains highly regarded for their groundbreaking contributions to the music industry.

On their seventh and final studio album Hymns (2001), the undisputed leaders of British industrial metal return to a lean line up of guitar, bass and a human drummer. Adding more variety to the mix, guitarist and band leader Justin Broadrick occasionally sings without a distorted grunt on a number of songs. This doesn't mean the band have lightened up or lost their brutal, pessimistic outlook. Their authentic sound still presents you with angst, coldness and a mechanical feel, and overall the band sounds in better shape than ever. Too bad it proved to be their last effort. Highlights of this album are the incredibly emotional 'Anthem', the deep and slow 'Defeated' and 'Paralyzed'. Hymns is finally available on vinyl for the first time with remastered audio and an exclusive bonus track.
