Standout longplayers

10 June 2023

The British industrial metal bulldozer GODFLESH – Justin K. Broadrick and Ben Green –
started blowing up ears in 1982. They took a long break in 2002, returned in 2010
and have now their 9th album, baptized PURGE out. Its title and sound are meant
to tie into their 2nd same-titled LP of 1995.

Order info here.

Press info: “First new recordings from Godflesh since 2017’s critically acclaimed full µ
length ‘Post Self’. ‘Purge’ musically, amongst the many layers of dirt, revisits and updates the concepts explored on the Pure album from 1992. 90’s hip hop grooves mangled and put through the Godflesh filter to create something that is still unique and futuristic in style. 8 songs, delivered in a concise fashion for fellow outsiders.”

Kerrang says: “An overwhelming addition to a back catalogue not lacking in transcendental power, Purge finds Justin channelling distress and disgust into music that hits both body and soul, creating something wonderful out of horror and pain. This really is a perfectly-titled album.” Score: 4/5.

TUTV: Wowzers! Godflesh bulldoze their way through 8 demonic brain-breakers. Eight hammer blow bastinados. Merciless, nasty and LOUD! VERY LOUD! The industrial, doom and gloom tandem still know how to alter your easygoing state of mind into a Draconian messed-up state of mind. Purge is the ultimate weapon to blow Putin’s brain out.
