Godflesh Announce Final Album Decay, Unleash "Living/Ending"
The 10-track release follows Broadrick’s major abdominal surgery and includes lead single “Living/Ending,” which recalls the band’s early industrial metal sound.
- Industrial metal pioneers Godflesh announced their final album, 'Decay,' set for release on September 25, 2026, via Relapse Records.
- Following major abdominal surgery earlier this year, founding member Justin Broadrick is retiring from touring, explaining that the physical demands of shouting exacerbated his hernia and made continuing impossible.
- Recorded during the same 2023 sessions as 'Purge,' the album features the brutal lead single 'Living/Ending,' which builds on pummeling two-note riffs reminiscent of their debut 'Streetcleaner.'
- Broadrick expressed gratitude for the band as a vessel for his pain and expression, though he now intends to focus on less physically demanding music through his Jesu and JK Flesh projects.
- With 38 years of sonic destruction behind them, Godflesh considers 'Decay' their final album, as Broadrick noted that while music is rarely complete, he has reached a point where enough is enough.
