231a - Jesu overview pt1




Jesu is the post-Godflesh project from Justin K Broadrick.  It became his full time focus, and not another side project.  The style began similar enough to how Godflesh wrapped up (in their first incarnation); and sure enough the last song on the last album was named Jesu and gave a preview of what was to come.  After the first couple albums, Jesu & Conqueror, the style became more post-rock and less doom-heavy.  There are moments that are almost pop-post-metal in style with an almost accessible sound coming from this.  That was always offset by the side long, ambient-metal tracks and still heavier than a death in the family sound on many tracks.  One regret is that I missed the opportunity to see them perform on tour with Isis (the band).
