Godflesh share “Nero” from new album, announce North American tour

Godflesh have shared “Nero” from their upcoming album, Purge, which is their first in six years. “Nero, as a symbol and reminder of irresponsible self destruction as being practiced always, now and forever,” Justin K Broadrick says. “In classic Godflesh tradition, three self-reinterpretations are presented, to display the many sides of the same coin.” Check out “Nero,” along with a remix and an alternate version below.

Purge is out June 9 via Avalanche Recording and Godflesh have also announced a tour that begins at Austin’s Oblivion Access Festival on June 18 and runs through July 2 in Orlando. They’ll be back for more dates in September, including NYC’s Desertfest on September 16. June and July headline dates are with Prison Religion while September headline shows are with Cel Genesis.
