Monotheist reminds me of Jesu

[Mormagil]

judging by that setlist, i'm going to kick myself for the rest of my life if i don't see them this summer

 

[Demilich]

i've never heard Jesu (or Godflesh need to fix both of these things) but this song is a LOT better than I expected after what most of you fucks said about the album. I want more!

on the topic of that setlist: son of a bitch!

 

[Mormagil]

be sure to listen to godflesh first

 

[Demonspell]

if an emperor is dethroned, is he still an emperor? am i rite?

Ask BWD, he's the longstanding authority on this band...

 

[lurch70]

holy mother of Christ ... is that a real setlist?
where did you get it from?

 

[Hell Mike]

Gilles de Rays was a not-so-nice fellow fyi

if an emperor is dethroned, is he still an emperor? am i rite?

Ask Ihsahn

People who don't appreciate V/N need to get over themselves.

Monotheist is solid. It's rather creepy, and it's NOT Cold Lake. I'm not a fan of the coverart cropped closeup of the face, but the Vinyl album cover's better

 

[Erik]

the Vinyl album cover's better

pix plz

I ordered Jesu - s/t because I like that track Silver from the new EP (only thing I've heard). Was that a good thing to do?

I know I'm really late on the Jesu bandwagon, but I'm listening to the s/t album now and it is phenomenal. Wow.

Just ordered the Heart Ache EP.

EDIT: Apart from Track 7, Man/Woman. It doesn't really fit with the rest of the album. Not so great that one.

 

[Mormagil]

i haven't heard a lot of jesu but there are obvious similarities to godflesh which is close enough

and also "totengott" is really similar to one of the tracks on sunn O)))'s latest album, which is interesting because these songs have probably been around longer

cool album, and yeah creepy as benmech said

Jesu is one of the best bands to emerge in the post 90's. Hands down. Nice going with getting their stuff

I was surprised by the relatively negative response this album got - I thought everyone would be amazed with it. It's sickeningly, crushingly heavy, experimental, epic, engrossing - I love it, personally.

 

[Mormagil]

who doesn't like it? i haven't heard anything bad about it on the innernets

 

[dill_the_devil]

Metal websites and magazines in general seem to be giving it great reviews, but most buzz on the forums seems to be fairly negative.

 

[Mormagil]

ah. faggots!

Monotheist has grown on me a lot ... and I was one of the people that thought it was not that great.

It still seems a bit forced, songwriting wise ... but it has a huge sound that I dig
