{"product_id":"godflesh-purge-1","title":"Godflesh - Purge [ Vinyl ]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the highly anticipated 2023 album Purge, Godflesh revisits and updates the concepts of Pure (1992), as well as bringing a whole host of new dirges and laments. Amongst the many layers of dirt, Purge mangles '90s hip-hop grooves and puts them through the Godflesh filter to create something futuristic in style - and utterly unique, just as Pure was upon its release in 1992.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe title alone - Purge - references directly how songwriter and creator Justin K. Broadrick utilizes 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePurge references the cycle of horror that man always has and always will inflict on all of society; 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...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePurge is eight songs, delivered in a concise fashion for fellow outsiders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGodflesh 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 their music 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGODFLESH \/ PURGE  -  Silver with Gold Splatter Vinyl\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54213282693449,"sku":"803341588479","price":5.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/7329\/9785\/files\/4211514-2977317.jpg?v=1776419137","url":"https:\/\/vintagespinvinyl.com\/products\/godflesh-purge-1","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
