Godflesh's 2nd-To-Last Album

Godflesh has announced their penultimate album, Decay, set to be released on September 25th via Relapse Records. The album's lead single, 'Living/Ending', is now available to stream.

The album was recorded in the same sessions as Godflesh's 2023 album, Purge. Justin Broadrick, the band's founding member, had surgery to repair an inguinal hernia, and due to health reasons, can no longer scream in the way required for Godflesh's music.

Decay's tracklist includes the songs 'Master and Slave', 'Living/Ending', 'Feral Colony', 'Fear of Man', 'Fodder', and 'Consume Me'. Godflesh will release one more album after Decay before ending the project.

Justin Broadrick will continue to make music with his projects Jesu and JK Flesh. Godflesh's album Purge was released in 2023 and placed Number Two on Rolling Stone's list of the best metal albums of that year.

## What happens next Godflesh's days are numbered, but the band has a couple of albums left to go before calling it quits entirely. The seeds of Decay took root when the group was working on its most recent album, 2023's Purge.

## Why it matters The end of Godflesh marks the end of an era for the industrial metal band, which has been influential in the realms of extreme metal, industrial, and noise-rock. Godflesh's music has been praised for its crushing industro-metal maelstroms, and the band's reunion in 2009 after a seven-year hiatus brought new life to the project.

The album's release will be a significant event for fans of the band, who will get to experience one of the final chapters of Godflesh's music. With the release of Decay, Godflesh will leave behind a legacy of influential music that has inspired many other bands and artists.
