Prior to the recording of the album, original guitarist Stuart Everest had been asked to leave the group by the other band members, and was replaced by Hamish McIntosh.

LTM Recordings reissued much of the band's entire back catalogue on CD, and released Godhead in August 2006, with five bonus tracks taken from the band's unreleased "Black Sessions" demo album.

The album received critical acclaim, but not a significant amount of mainstream attention.

Martin Aston, of Music Week said of the album: "Lowlife's Godhead takes us back to that classic case of a band who never reap enough acclaim because they won't play the game, but they deserve serious attention"[2] The Catalogue gave the album 4 stars, stating: "Lowlife cast aside past references and perceptions with the most evocatively impressive music.

It would be unforgivable if this album remains totally unnoticed"[3] All tracks were written by Will Heggie, Craig Lorentson, Hamish McIntosh and Grant McDowall Bonus Tracks on 2006 CD Reissue (from "The Black Sessions" demos):
