The English industrial metal band Godflesh have released eight studio albums and six extended plays, along with a number of singles, compilations and remix and live albums. The group formed in 1982 under the name Fall of Because, but they did not release any music (outside of a 1986 demo tape titled Extirpate) until 1988, when Justin Broadrick and G. C. Green changed the project's name to Godflesh and recorded a self-titled debut EP. That EP, released through the independent label Swordfish, was met with underground success and has since been recognised as one of the first industrial metal releases, if not the first. Their next release, their first through Earache Records, Streetcleaner (1989), garnered even more recognition for its musical importance. Godflesh recorded Pure in 1992, which has drawn retrospective recognition as a significant release in the post-metal genre. (Full list...)
