GODFLESH Announces New Album ‘Decay’, Shares ‘Living/Ending’ Single
Godflesh have announced their tenth and penultimate album, ‘Decay’, due for release on 25 September 2026 through Relapse Records, alongside the new single ‘Living/Ending’. The release matters as it marks another major chapter for the influential industrial metal band, formed 38 years ago by Justin Broadrick and bassist Ben Green.
The six-track album was drawn from the same writing sessions as 2023’s ‘Purge’, although its release was delayed while Broadrick sought a label rather than self-releasing it. Broadrick said he substantially revisited the completed recordings, and confirmed they were finished before major abdominal surgery earlier this year, though parts of two songs were recorded while he was dealing with a hernia.
In short
- Godflesh announce ‘Decay’ for 25 September 2026.
- ‘Living/Ending’ is the album’s new single.
- The six-track record follows sessions for 2023’s ‘Purge’.
Explained simply
Godflesh are an English band formed in 1988 by guitarist and vocalist Justin Broadrick and bassist Ben Green. Their music combines heavy guitar and bass with machine-like rhythms, helping shape industrial metal, a style that brings metal together with sounds associated with industrial music.
The new record was made from writing sessions for 2023’s Purge, but its release was held back while Broadrick looked for a record label. It is planned as the band’s tenth album and the second-to-last, making it part of their long-running catalogue as well as a marker of their stated plans for the band.
