Godflesh are sharing “Nero,” the opening track from their upcoming EP, their most recent release ahead of their new album Purge. Purge will be out on June 9. “Nero” happens to be their first music in six years. The band have also announced North American tour dates in support Purge. The tour will contain dates in June, July, and September. Prison Religion and Cel Genesis will provide additional support in the tour.
Listen to “Nero” on YouTube:
Justin K. Broadrick shares his thoughts on the song:
“‘Nero,’ as a symbol and reminder of irresponsible self destruction as being practiced always, now and forever… in classic Godflesh tradition, three self-reinterpretations are presented to display the many sides of the same coin… ”
