Godflesh is the eponymous first release by the influentialindustrial metal band Godflesh. It was originally released in 1988 on Swordfish Records, and was later reissued on Earache Records with two additional songs.
AllMusic critic Jason Birchmeier stated that the record features hallmarks of the band's sound: "hard-hitting industrial beats and percussion, massive guitar and bass riffs, a lumbering tempo, distorted vocals, and paranoid-stricken lyrics." Another critic, Martin Walters, thought that the album marked a high point in avant metal, while featuring an "explosive guitar and bass riffing over pounding drum machines and samples that still had roots in the grindcore scene that spawned them."
AllMusic's Martin Walters wrote: "This album is, of course, essential to Godflesh fans, yet the uninitiated should look to the albums Streetcleaner, Slavestate, or Pure for an introduction.
