"Godless" is a Puerto Rican black metal band formed in the winter of 1989. Godless was the first black metal band of Puerto Rico & one of the first black metal bands from U.S.A. Godless is very known in Puerto Rico becouse of its extremely violent and sick shows featuring self mutilation and animal carcasses on stage. Becouse of this; In october, 31, 2007 they got a two page interview in the Puerto Rico's most famous newspaper, El nuevo dia.

During 90's period; Lots of line-up changes happened til this present day along with lots of unreleased & official Godless recordings. In 2000; Lord Asaradel moved to Pittsburgh, PA to join the band Lethal Prayer (Ex-Acheron/Incantation Session Member band). After a while he moved back to Puerto Rico. During the end of 2004/ begininng of 2005; Godless recorded their last effort; A new album entitled "Church Arsonist".
