GOD were a British industrial ensemble formed in London. Founded by Kevin Martin and Shaun Rogan in 1987, the band expanded to include nine members and released two studio albums before disbanding in 1996. The group's abrasive marriage of ambient, dub, free jazz and noise rock music garnered respect from their peers such as Bill Laswell, Ministry, My Bloody Valentine, J. G. Thirlwell and John Zorn.

History
GOD originally consisted of Kevin Martin on tenor saxophone and vocals and Shaun Rogan on guitar. The pairing came together after Fall front-man Mark E. Smith asked Martin if he wanted to contribute to Smith's 1988 Disparate Cognescenti compilation. In Autumn of 1988, Martin met Justin Broadrick, whose project Godflesh he had heard on John Peel's Radio 1 show. Broadrick began working with Martin and served as a producer for GOD's early releases before joining as a member.
