Jesu
 

I don't know how I didn't pick up on this stuff sooner. Jesu is amazing... I never really cared for the Godflesh material (well, some of it's alright, but I wasn't gonna buy any of it), but this "new" project is incredible.

I picked up the Silver EP on a recommendation from a friend, and ended up buy the rest of the Jesu records the next day.

The new one, Conqueror is my new personal favorite.

Any thoughts?

new album of theirs in the works with Jarboe of SWANS doing some vocals. can't wait to hear that one.

I love Jesu. I havent yet heard the latest record, but i've read some pretty decent review's. I'll defiently check it out soon.

My personal fave is the first Jesu recording, 'Heartache'. So heavy, yet so melodic.

This should be awesome!

Jesu is awesome! Love em. Yea, I can't wait to hear their stuff with Jarboe. Should be amazing, indeed.

i've been into them since their first full lenght, i downloaded it out of curiosity, then mailed ordered it from a store the next day and uploaded it to one of the ysi threads back at the old board.

conqueror is my favorite too, one of the best of the year.

yeah i heard them back when heartache came out because i have always loved godflesh.

i like jesu's ep's better than their full lengths for whatever reason.

That new 2 song EP "Sun Down / Sun Rise" is just incredible. Droney and at times almost ambient.

Jesu kick serious bottom, y'all. They're good live, too.

Sun Down/Sun Rise is a close second... great record.

you know why they rule live?

justin wears a jesu shirt while playing live.

That must really drive fanboys to the merch table.

i'm not that into their records, but i saw them with Isis and they were pretty good.

conquerer is fantastic.. the new sun down/ sun rise e.p. is stunning... epic to say the least

Jesu have never appealed to me as much as Godflesh did, but pretty much everything I've heard is still good stuff at its worst.

There's quite informative interview of justin broadrick at brainwashed.

i actually thought godflesh were kinda meh, then when i heard jesu it made me re-appreciate godflesh a whole more, i kinda understood and felt what justin was trying to do then.

same here marcos. i was never a godflesh fan at all but recently tried em out again and yeah, th apreciation is there but jesu i a much finer project......

i love godflesh now, though.

i think i might have been biased because earache at the moment were going thru a shite period (which they haven't gotten out of), although looking back i like most of those bands now. godflesh, cathedral, carcass, bolt thrower, entombed, etc. i love them now, the only bands i liked then were brutal truth and entombed i think.

I think Godflesh is one of the only Earache bands of that period that I've never really gotten into. I can see the appeal, but it's just not something I dig all that much.

Cathedral & Bolth Thrower on the other hand...

i couldn't get past lee's singing in cathedral then, i thought it was laughable.

especially after napalm.
