Godflesh [EP] (1988) Streetcleaner (1989)

Godflesh is the eponymous first release by the pioneering experimental industrial metal band.

It was originally released in 1988 through Swordfish Records, but was later reissued as an album by Earache Records with two additional tracks.

Sometimes overshadowed by the impact of the follow-up Streetcleaner album, the self-titled EP is possibly just as influential and important a release in the industrial metal field, if not even more so; highly regarded for its originality and innovative lo-fi production based progression of sounds pioneered by the likes of the Swans and Throbbing Gristle through very heavy discordant guitars and bass, brutal drum machines and Broadrick's bile-filled vocal delivery.

Musically, the album's generally slow and extremely heavy riffs are virtually a polar opposite to Broadrick's fast paced work with Napalm Death on their genre defining grindcore debut, Scum.
