Justin Broadrick (born 1969 in Birmingham, England) is a founding member of the band Godflesh, one of the first bands to crossover elements of Rock and industrial music, influencing bands such as Ministry and Fear Factory. He also briefly appeared in the lineup of Napalm Death in the mid 1980s. Thereafter, he joined Head of David on drums. He turned down offers to join highly visible rock groups such as Faith No More and Danzig (Interview with Glenn Danzig. He is also well-known for remixing the works of other groups including Pantera, Isis and Hydra Head labelmates, Pelican.
Godflesh broke up in 2002 soon after the departure of fellow founding member G. Christian Green, and after Broadrick suffered a nervous breakdown shortly before a small US tour was to begin. The tour was promptly cancelled following the incident. Broadrick currently fronts the bands Jesu and Final. His new project 'Grey Machine' is in development. When in Godflesh, he was noted for using a gold guitar pick for an extra "metallic squeal" noise.
Justin has also participated in a number of side projects with Kevin Martin, in a number of different styles. From the electronic ambient noise of Techno Animal to the more rap/hip-hop oriented Ice.
Some of Justin's other more notable side-projects included 'Solaris BC', 'The Sidewinder' and 'Curse of the golden vampire' (A project with Alec Empire)
