Jesu Artist Snapshot:

Following a brief stint in Napalm Death and the dissolution of his seminal industrial-metal project, Godflesh, Justin Broadrick made a dramatic about-face with his next project, Jesu. Though the band contains elements of both metal and industrial's punishing textures, Jesu in fact offers a beautiful variation on the shoegaze sounds of My Bloody Valentine and the like, with elements of ambient and outright pop cropping up as well. This may seem an unlikely step for Broadrick, but it works perfectly, as the listener is happily crushed by oceanic waves of sound only to be lifted sky-high by gorgeous melodies. Jesu has been embraced by a wide swath of the indie and underground music community and has toured with experimental metal bands such as Isis and Pelican.

Review

Alternative Press (p.138) - 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "CONQUEROR's lush atmospheric synth hues, kaleidoscopic ambience and dazzling melodic guitar heaviness live up to the billing..."
The Wire (p.50) - "[A]lmost lush at times, specially on 'Weightless & Horizontal' and 'Medicine'....The guitars are the point of his music, as they always have been."

Title Note

On CONQUEROR, his second full-length album under the guise of Jesu, former Godflesh singer/guitarist Justin Broadrick builds on the shoegazer leanings of the SILVER EP, resulting in a hypnotic set of strikingly heavy indie rock. Featuring spare rhythms and buried vocals, the record finds Broadrick densely layering guitar and keyboard lines for a sound that is both minimal and disarmingly full. Often moving at a glacial pace (see the swirling title track and the epic "Weightless & Horizontal"), CONQUEROR's songs convey a certain sense of majesty as they slowly unfurl, rewarding the listener with a fascinating collection that easily ranks among the top post-rock releases of 2007.
