Purge is the ninth studio album by English industrial metal band Godflesh, released on 9 June 2023. The album, originally announced on 1 March 2023, "revisits and updates the concepts explored on Pure", the group's 1992 album.[2][3] The title "Purge" refers to how frontman Justin Broadrick "utilises Godflesh's music as a temporary relief from his diagnosed autism and PTSD."[4]
Broadrick teased the first single, "Nero," on social media accounts in early March 2023.[5] The song, along with three in-house remixes, was released on 3 April 2023.[6][7]
