Affliction is the first official full-length album by the industrial alternative rock band Econoline Crush.

After Econoline Crush released the EP Purge in 1994, the band went on tour and started work on a proper full-length album.

At that point, the lineup consisted of founding members vocalist Trevor Hurst, guitarist Robbie Morfitt, and bassist Dan Yaremko, in addition to drummer Gregg Leask and guitarist Hack (who both joined prior to the recording of Purge), plus keyboardist Chris Bryant (who joined after the recording of Purge).

In addition, both "Wicked" and "Lost" were re-recordings of songs that the band previously created earlier in their career; thus, founding member Tom Ferris (who departed in 1993 alongside other founding member Chris Meyers) received writing credits for both tracks.

They were joined on the tour by additional guitarist Ziggy Sigmund and keyboardist Adam Percy.
