Purge revisits and evolves the concepts of their iconic 1992 album Pure, while introducing an array of new dirges and laments that will leave you both entranced and a bit unnerved. It’s a twisted journey through alien grooves that swing and sway, all while retaining the psychedelic, nightmarish edge that has come to define Godflesh's signature sound. The band's ability to seamlessly intertwine '90s hip-hop grooves with their unique and futuristic style sets them apart as true musical innovators.

The album's title, Purge, holds deep significance for the band's mastermind, Justin K. Broadrick. For Broadrick, Godflesh's music serves as a temporary relief from his diagnosed autism and PTSD, providing an outlet to express a lifetime of feeling misunderstood and overwhelmed by hyper-sensitivity. As a lifelong outsider, Godflesh allows him to communicate his sense of catharsis and transcendence, channeling his disenchantment with the human condition and society's abuse of power. With Purge, Broadrick unleashes eight songs delivered with raw emotion and concise precision, a sonic refuge for fellow outsiders. The album is a potent reflection of the endless cycle of horror perpetuated by those in positions of power. The duo boldly confronts the horrors inflicted on individuals in the name of religion, power, money, and national pride. Purge serves as a harrowing reminder of man's capacity for cruelty and the systems that perpetuate suffering.

The core duo of Godflesh, Justin K. Broadrick and Ben Green, backed by their formidable machines, has remained a pivotal force in heavy music since their humble yet loud beginnings in 1988. Their influence extends far beyond the confines of industrial metal, impacting entire subcultures within the scene. Godflesh are hailed as a true cultural icon, leaving an indelible mark on generations of heavy music enthusiasts, both in the mainstream and underground.
