jesu

We love Joe Satriani and Tony Iommi too, but let's hear it for some other guitarists for once.

After Justin Broadrick ended the industrial powerhouse Godflesh in 2002, he birthed Jesu, a collision of haunted beauty and dissonance channeled through fuzzed tones and electronic backbones. Jesu's debut, 'Heart Ache,' hit shelves in 2004, but is now getting the reissue treatment coupled with the long demanded but never-before-released 'Dethroned' EP...

It still seems surreal, did it really happen? Did we all just wake up to the knowledge that the brooding Peter Steele of Type O Negative died? Sadly it's all real. But out of grief, a light shines on how many Steele truly inspired over the years -- including ones you would have never expected -- like Constants, a band known for their heavy stargazing sonics...

"I've had to hold the reins. Basically I feel I've saturated the world with Jesu releases, so I'm going to take it easy to be honest," Justin Broadrick said to Don't Watch That! TV about the seemingly endless stream of releases under his looming electric-doom moniker...

San Diego deathgrinders Cattle Decapitation have themselves a new bassist, the band's third since forming in1996. They've enlisted Derek Engemann, formerly of Unmerciful, to join the fold. He replaces Rahsaan Davis and will "handle all upcoming touring duties," according to a statement from the group...

"This is not a reunion," Swans co-founder Michael Gira declares in bold in his statement regarding the influential noise act's second coming. "It's not some dumb-ass nostalgia act. It is not repeating the past. After five Angels of Light albums, I needed a way to move forward, in a new direction, and it just so happens that revivifying the idea of Swans is allowing me to do that...

It's that time of year again. It's time to start thinking about what records were the best this year. Recently, we spoke with Constants guitarist/vocalist Will Benoit about his list for the year. He had just begun his but he could name the king of the mountain of releases this year without a second guess...

Constants have always been a band open about their love for the musical output of Godflesh and Jesu mastermind Justin K. Broadrick. That's why it made perfect sense with the recent news that the heavy stargazers of Constants had signed Broadrick on to produce their upcoming record...

If you've been lucky enough to see Neurosis live, you've probably marveled at the mesmeric images that are projected during the band's droning, apocalyptic music. The artist and editor behind the film is Joshua Graham, who also designed the live visual show for Mastodon's tour in support of 'Crack the Skye...

Justin Broadrick's band Jesu came as quite the surprise for those who followed his work in Napalm Death and Godflesh, because the brutality, the harshness and floating waves of dissonance had become only philosophical elements of Jesu's electronic and guitar experimentations...
