The Wire 458 cover artist returns as Final for a new vinyl release on Alter

Inside The Wire 458, Antonio Poscic speaks with extreme music pioneer Justin K Broadrick about the sprawling range of projects that make up his prolific output, including JK Flesh, Godflesh, Napalm Death and many more. Final has been Broadrick's moniker for his beatless solo output since he was a teenager, with releases appearing over the years on labels such as Sentrax, Utech and No Quarter, as well as his own Avalanche imprint.

Released on 20 May via Alter, Broadrick's latest Final recording It Comes To Us All continues his explorations into sound decay and ambient texture. The track “Untitled 3” is accompanied by this video, made by Broadrick himself.
