Jesu is an experimental band formed in 2003 by Justin Broadrick following the breakup of Godflesh. Jesu was the name of the last song on the penultimate Godflesh release, Hymns.
Jesu's sound is heavily layered and textured, drawing from and incorporating an eclectic mix of influences, ranging from ambient music, drone doom, to shoegazing, downtempo and industrial music. Broadrick himself has made it known that he does not consider Jesu to fall into any of these categories and that he has been intentionally writing what he considers to be coherent and structured pop songs.
Biography
Jesu's first release, the Heart AcheEP, was released in 2004 and featured Broadrick performing all of the instruments and vocals alone. It was followed four months later by the full-length Jesu LP, which featured the addition of bassist Diarmuid Dalton and drummer Ted Parsons, although not every song features both members. A spring 2005 tour of Europe, in support of the album, featured Roderic Mounir of Knut filling in for Ted Parsons on drums.
Jesu is the first full-length album from Jesu, released by Hydra Head Records on December 8, 2004. Unlike the Heart Ache EP, where Justin Broadrick executed all instrumentation himself, this release features Ted Parsons on drums, Diarmuid Dalton on bass, and a guest appearance by Paul Neville on guitar on the track "Man/Woman". The album was released in Japan by Daymare Recordings and contains two additional instrumental remixes on a bonus disc. In February 2005, a double vinyl picture disc set was released by Hydra Head, limited to 1000 copies. The picture disc pressing contains an alternate, cleaner mix than the CD or standard LP editions.
Track listing
All songs written and composed by Justin K. Broadrick.
Jesu's self-titled release on Daymare Recordings included two extra tracks on a second disc, this one being the first. Beautiful instrumental remix of the standard release.
Note: The extra tracks on this release had the track names mixed up, so I've changed them to what they should be. Credit goes to MysticKenji2 for pointing this out!

Surviving gotta leave it now My greed for flesh, my cruelty I'll let them fall down like a block On such an empty humanity I'm sorry friends of mine I'm sorry for the next dawn you won't see again No time for raving escapes Last stop! With bites your stomach I chop Your skin my claws will make fall I love to see the muddy ground Takin' live from your blood Last stop! I'm here to take you far away Up in the north - northern than here In such a grotesque slaughter house You are gonna be welcome I'm sorry friends of mine But you have to know There won't be any new dawn ...again, never again Last stop! With bites your stomach I chop Your skin my claws will make fall I love to see the muddy ground Takin' live from your blood With bites your stomach I chop Your skin my claws will make fall I love to see the muddy ground Takin' live from your blood Last stop!
