Godflesh are an English post punk band with metal and industrial music influences originally formed in Birmingham, England. The group formed in 1988 by Justin Broadrick (guitar, vocals and programming) and G. C. Green (bass). Melding post punk and metal with industrial music and later with electronic music and dub, Godflesh's sound is widely regarded as a foundational influence on other industrial metal and post-metal acts and as significant to both experimental and extreme metal.
