Next up is JESU with his new album Conquerer. Previoulsy of Godflesh fame this latest release is apparently a lighter more melodic affair which doesn't stop it for relying on walls of distorted guitars. His voice is clean over repeated slow chords in a shoe gazy way. Have a listen here. Very atmospheric and European rock sounding if a little plodding. I see they seem popular in Switzerland. Not really my thing but fills a big space in soft rock way.J.K. Broadrick triumphantly returns with his second, and quite appropriately titled, Jesu full-length (the follow-up to last year's critically acclaimed Silver EP). Packed with eight gorgeously hypnotic tracks in just over an hour, Conqueror exhales a dreamlike mist of weighty celestial ambience, underwater phantasms and slow-rolling nebulae, fomenting the kind of kaleidoscopic rapture-brimming with lush electronics, dulcet guitar textures, massive riffs, and lavish atmospheric hues-that makes us swear we're on drugs.
