Decay LP

Decay is Godflesh's tenth album and, per the band, its penultimate one, with one more release planned to close things out. It was recorded in the same sessions as Purge and runs six tracks of the same mechanized, bludgeoning sound Godflesh pioneered on Streetcleaner decades back, "Master and Slave" and "Consume Me" the clear anchor points. Released through Relapse, it comes after founder Justin Broadrick's abdominal surgery, which he ties directly to years of touring wear, and that's clearly shaping how he's choosing to end this band's story.
