Formed in 1984 out of an obsession with the industrial, noise and power electronics acts of the early eighties, Final made its public debut at the legendary Mermaid pub in Birmingham when Broadrick was just 14 years old. A string of cassette releases via his Post Mortem Rekordings label established the name within the underground noise scene of the time until increased activity with his various groups (Napalm Death, Head of David and later Godflesh) meant that Final naturally fell by the wayside before the end of the decade. Broadrick reactivated the project in 1993 during the British ambient “isolationism” period and Final's sound became focussed more on texture, producing beatless ambient work with a number of albums for labels like Sentrax, Utech, No Quarter and Neurot. \u003ci\u003eIt Comes To Us All\u003c\/i\u003e is the first Final album to appear on vinyl since 2015’s \u003ci\u003eBlack Dollars\u003c\/i\u003e on Downwards and continues to explore the textural nature of Broadrick’s ambient work - this time through a filter of blown-out harmonic noise that reconnects the project with its harsher roots. Rather than channelling the angst of early power-electronics, the noise here rumbles along blissfully through 8 untitled tracks, sombre in tone and at times beautiful. Melodies sampled from pop music are put through a process of decay, stripped of their form and worn down with a rusty, melancholic afterglow. Reducing all its parts to slow-motion shadows of their former selves, \u003ci\u003eIt Comes To Us All\u003c\/i\u003e is an exploration of the decay of all living things that we face collectively, day after day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50502134366539,"sku":"1151507","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50502135021899,"sku":"1151508","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/d8d4d3e3-51e5-44ea-9ff4-1bd966352ce9_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727788836"},{"product_id":"i-am-the-dirt-under-your-fingernails-2","title":"I Am the Dirt Under Your Fingernails","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince 1983, Justin K.

Comprising nine tracks each named and numbered after the album’s title, IATDUYF violently pushes us through a murky world of suffocating textures, crepuscular guitars, serrated noise and what appear to be random bursts of sawmill grind which together create the perfect backdrop to today’s newscape. This is a relentless sound that’s absolutely unforgiving as it hammers home anger and despair with little respite, illustrating very clearly that JK Broadrick has been one of the very few to contort 7 the uncompromising approach of early power electronics into wholly new and contemporary forms rife with greater possibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fourth Dimension","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50916258382155,"sku":"2049533","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/I_Am_the_Dirt_Under_Your_Fingernails_5e3286ba_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1733035846"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/final.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
