Justin K Broadrick
For fans of heavy music — and several of its variously punishing/terrifying and sad/ethereal permutations — Justin K Broadrick is a household name. First emerging in 1985 as the guitarist in seminal UK grindcore band Napalm Death, the artist went on to found the massively influential industrial-metal band Godflesh.
Years after the genre-defining stint, while on hiatus from Godflesh, Broadrick re-emerged with jesu, his long-running post-metal project. Amidst decades of worldwide touring, prolifically writing, producing, remixing and releasing albums via his own Avalanche Recordings, other enduring projects include the no-nonsense hard techno/industrial of JK FLESH, the dark ambient and power electronics of Final (originally formed alongside Andy Swan of TACTICAL PAGAN) and the experimental electronic and IDM of Pale Sketcher.
Over a storied career, Broadrick’s art has remained consistently remarkable, exciting and at times, unpredictable.
Having released Pale Sketcher’s lost treasure Golden Skin and a series of innovative work with the artist’s own Avalanche Recordings, GIVE/TAKE’s latest from Broadrick is the warehouse-destroying JK FLESH / MONRELLA (Mick Harris, fellow ex-Napalm Death, Scorn) split, SHOUTING THE ODDS. Available worldwide now.
“Enough to induce a spasmolytic response on the dance floor…proof of the artist’s pedigree in underground techno.” - ReGen Magazine
"Eight industrial techno slammers and no messing about." - Echoes And Dust
“This is cruising the highway at midnight techno, at times recalling Geinoh Yamashirogumi’s soundtrack to Akira…The programmed drums slamming like vault doors and classic rave synths pushed through echo and reverb until the whole thing is a like a disorienting, half-remembered dream.” - The Wire
“This isn’t your dad’s quaalude music; it’s high-energy, acid-dropping, mescaline-infused rhythm that is unrelenting.” - Ghettoblaster Magazine
