Jesu Essentials
Triumphant post-metal that's both crushingly heavy and gorgeously atmospheric.
Artist Biography
Jesu is the most melodic and accessible of Justin Broadrick's many projects, incorporating heavy guitar riffs and ambient textures into expansive yet pop-informed song structures. Originally devised as a successor to industrial metal juggernaut Godflesh following their initial breakup, Jesu's self-titled 2004 debut album was a bleak, sludgy set of post-metal with noticeably cleaner vocals than Broadrick's former bands. Subsequent EPs, split releases, and albums like 2007's Conqueror found Jesu incorporating more shoegaze and post-punk influences as well as electronic elements. Broadrick started the Pale Sketcher offshoot to explore Jesu's ambient techno-informed side, while the main project returned to a guitar-focused sound with 2011's Ascension. Following collaborations with Sun Kil Moon and Dirk Serries, as well as a preoccupation with other projects like a reunited Godflesh and techno alias JK Flesh, Broadrick revivified Jesu with genre-blurring releases such as the 2020 full-length Terminus and 2023 drone-metal EP Pity/Piety.
