Godflesh share new track “LAND LORD” from their forthcoming album, PURGE<\/em><\/strong>. It’s a track which spirals out in pent-up rage from the first second, distorting and mutating 90’s drum and bass through the Godflesh filter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the track Justin comments, “LAND LORD references ownership, entitlement and the objectification of human beings, as practised by almost anyone who wields power\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

LISTEN TO “LAND LORD” HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the highly anticipated new album PURGE<\/em>, Godflesh brings a whole host of new dirges and laments. Amongst the many layers of dirt, PURGE <\/em>mangles 90s hip hop grooves and puts them through the Godflesh filter to create something futuristic in style – and utterly unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both minimal and maximal, Godflesh deliver alien grooves that swing whilst also retaining the psychedelic, bad trip edge with layer upon layer of filth and heaviness – that Godflesh have always been known for. This is, and always has been, feel-bad music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The title alone – PURGE<\/em> – references directly how songwriter and creator Justin K. Broadrick utilises Godflesh’s music as a temporary relief from his diagnosed autism and PTSD. It’s the next stage in a journey he has been on since he began creating music, feeling alone and like an outsider in any scene or group, from childhood through to adulthood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The music of Godflesh gives Broadrick the means to express a lifetime of feeling misunderstood and overwhelmed by hyper-sensitivity. The band is the vehicle to provide some sense of catharsis and transcendence; a way of communicating overload, as well as the constant disenchantment at the human condition, and man’s abuse of power and the systems that chain us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PURGE<\/em> references the cycle of horror that man always has and always will<\/em> put us through; those in positions of power revel in the infliction of pain and horror upon individuals – in the name of their religion, their power, their money, their flags…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The duo of Godflesh – Justin K Broadrick and Ben Green – augmented by Machines, are seen as a pivotal entity in the world of ‘heavy’ music, impacting entire subcultures within the scene since the band’s inception in 1988.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Godflesh have been credited as being one of the first bands to cross old British industrial music with down-tuned, primitive and minimal metal, accidentally pioneering the ‘industrial metal’ sound – yet reaches far beyond the confines of the genre. The band is widely regarded as a cultural icon, and its impact can be felt across generations of heavy music, both mainstream and underground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Godflesh have been confirmed to headline Birmingham’s Supersonic Festival<\/a><\/strong> in September. Prior to that and kicking off with their appearance at Oblivion Fest<\/a><\/strong> (Austin, TX, USA) Godflesh return to North America to tour in support of their new album.
