[[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 (band)|Jesu]] and [[Final (band)|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 squeelsqueal" noise.
