Godflesh mastermind Justin Broadrick has recently announced that the band will do a string of US shows in October. These dates are final, no other dates will be added to the tour and you can check them out below. Nails (on select shows) and Prurient will be joining Godflesh on these dates.

In March of 2013, Justin Broadrick said that the new Godflesh album would be called A World Lit Only By Fire.

Asked in a recent interview if the new album would be released in November, he said "I hope so, yeah. It will probably be January though... 2021. (laughs) No, it will happen. We've written half of it. We've got half of the album."

Regarding the album, he stated: "It's really minimal, unforgivably brutal, but really psychedelic. Erm... I think ultimately, it's just really minimal. It's just reduced. It's like the early Godflesh records where it's essentially heavy metal reduced of all of its bullshit. It's heavy metal strict to its absolute basic core of just pure rhythm, without any of the attitude, the ego, the fulliness, the progressiveness, none of that. It's just utterly reduced to blocks of sound and for me it's getting back to the roots of why I made this music. Because it's not based on any form of technical ability, it's not based on some fucking Judas Priest record. It's trying to capture something pure again. Reforming Godflesh like I was saying, is mainly getting back to feeling like that confused child again, which I have done all the fucking time, but it just reminds me of how important it is to make something that feels like it is so connected to you and so a part of your entire physicality and everything in your head."
