Rise Above (JK Flesh album)

Rise Above is the second studio album by JK Flesh, a moniker of English musician Justin Broadrick, and was released digitally and on vinyl on 3 June 2016 through the label Electric Deluxe under the designation EDLX.048.

Inspired by Broadrick's childhood in industrial Birmingham,[3] Rise Above's sound is characterized by heavy distortion, kinetic beats, and noisy production.

[5][6] John Twells of Fact wrote, "The doomy, distorted grind of Godflesh and Jesu is certainly still present, but woven into a wheezing 4/4 template that doesn’t sound a million miles from Andy Stott’s patented 'knackered house' or a Surgeon record on the wrong speed being played through a broken car stereo.

"[6] Resident Advisor reviewer Justin Farrar wrote "It's a rare musician who could make music this bleak sound utterly engrossing.

"[4] In another very positive review Ben Hudgins of Heathen Harvest called Rise Above "unadulterated machine music that’s been crafted by a master engineer.
