Godflesh releases new industrial metal album ‘Decay’

Birmingham-based industrial metal band Godflesh released their new album, ‘Decay’, on September 25, 2026. The release follows reports regarding the health of mastermind Justin K. Broadrick, which had previously suggested the potential end of the group.

The album features six tracks, including ‘Master and Slave’, ‘Living/Ending’, and ‘Feral Colony’. The music is characterized by a blend of industrial metal, sludge, and electronic elements, utilizing repetitive riffs, distorted vocals, and heavy bass. Critics note the band’s signature raw and intense sound, which incorporates electronic synths and machine-like beats to create an eerie, atmospheric environment.
