Rise Above (JK Flesh album)

Rise Above is a studio album by JK Flesh, the industrial music project of Justin Broadrick (also known for Godflesh and Jesu). Released in 2016, the album is characterized by its heavy, dark, and rhythmic sound, incorporating elements of industrial techno, dubstep, and Broadrick's signature metallic guitar work. Rise Above features dense layers of electronic textures, distorted beats, and often processed vocal samples, creating a bleak and oppressive atmosphere. Critics have noted the album's exploration of themes related to urban decay, societal collapse, and personal struggles. Its tracks often lack conventional song structures, focusing instead on building tension and conveying a sense of unease through repetitive patterns and sonic experimentation. While rooted in the industrial tradition, Rise Above showcases Broadrick's continued exploration of electronic music and his ability to create intensely powerful and immersive soundscapes.
