Godflesh – “Nero”

Godflesh, the long-standing metal project of Justin K. Broadrick and Ben Green, are gearing up to release a new album, Purge, their first since 2017’s Post Self. It’ll be out in June, and its name and sound are meant to tie in to the group’s 1992 sophomore release Pure.

Today, they’re sharing the album’s lead single “Nero,” both in standard and remixed, alternate, and dub versions. “Nero, as a symbol and reminder of irresponsible self destruction as being practiced always, now and forever…” Broadrick said in a statement. “In classic Godflesh tradition, 3 self reinterpretations are presented, to display the many sides of the same coin…”
