Godchilla are three mysterious boys ripping sludgy waves. This Reykjavík-based surf-doom band first grabbed attention in 2013 upon releasing one song on 19 limited floppy disks. They quickly garnered a reputation for loud, intense live performances with elaborate visual and atmospheric elements. Their live intensity is equally reflected on their powerful debut album, Cosmatos, which came out in fall 2014 and was recorded in Stúdíó Sýrland. Their overall sound is a seamless blend of ethereal aggression, meditative patterns and demonic grooves, which holds their audiences as devoted captive subjects.

"Godchilla is Iceland's weirdest surf sludge band" - Vice Magazine

With a hankering for sonic adventuring and a knack for trance-inducing stoic bombardment,
Godchilla’s time in the slime throughout the years has resulted in a few unforeseen mutations. Delving into strangeness with the assistance of Curver Thoroddsen and Árni Hjörvar (The Vaccines) has resulted in a new direction best described as illusion-fused vroom vroom hypno doom, which will be revealed on the band’s third LP " Psionic dreams."

Psionic Dreams (2025)
Third full length LP
Godchilla returns with their third offering, an illusion-fused vroom vroom hypno doom extravaganza titled ‘Psionic dreams’. the band worked with producer Curver Thoroddsen with the vague idea of twisting and bending their psychedelic surf doom sound in new and entertaining ways.
A lot of experimentation ensued, using gimmicky gadgets and excessive effects processing to find a path towards a complete dissolution of habitual form not finding that path at all they instead made a bunch of weird numbers, drone, drum n’ bass and a thing or two in between. most of them hung back near their place of origin but a few decided to come along and end up on a record.
That was how, armed with the weapon of relentless repetition, they forged this two-handed great sword of infernal judgement and mana replenishment that is Psionic dreams.
Mostly written in 2019-2020, it was heavily influenced by dreamt-up imagery of sun cults and alien worship along with day-to-day dissociation and the unclear sensation of something mysterious, grandiose and all-great being near but always out of reach


“Psionic Dreams is a hypnotic and completely fucked up journey worth taking.” - Outlaws of the Sun
“Psionic Dreams is such a vibrant record, one you giddily enter each time to find what new approach the next song will bring.” - Ninehertz
Nominated for "Album of the year" by Kraumur Music Fund.
"Top ten album of the year " - Dr.Gunni


The boys.
