New Jesu track

The great Justin Broadrick will be releasing the new Jesu album in May, Ascension. It will be the follow up to 2009’s Opiate Sun EP as well as the brief Christmas EP released in December. The new song ‘Birth Day’ is streaming over on Stereogum now.

Jesu has accomplished an instantly recognisable sound by now, one characterised earth shatteringly dense heaviness and eerie, somnambulist melody. ‘Birth Day’ is no different with intense, droning guitars colliding with chiming electronics. Broadrick’s vocals are buried beneath the dissonance, a trait now well present in the Jesu sound.
