Jesu - Jesu (Hydrahead, 2004)

Of the so-called "post-rock" genre, formed by combining jazzy modern rock with emo punk rock and artcore metal, few releases manage to do more than emo did, which is give you something to cry to - with a catchy chorus. Ex-Godflesh personnel however manage to synthesize the cartographic song format of Godflesh with the droning, husky, textural noise of Final, and with an injection of the declining melodies of punk from Fugazi onward, make a record that can be contemplated like a black metal album but used to set a mood in the way ambient records always have.

gotta agree, all in the vein of new Neurosis, Isis, Mouth of Architect, Conifer, Pelican, Keelhaul, Cult of Luna and so on.

also on a side note the new Bongzilla is their best and if you don't know them everyone should check out Om....the other half of Sleep's new band !

I've heard alot about Om, but i can't find anything to listen to

you can grab their mp3s from my files thru AIM, if you know how. i mean it's not a big secret but i imagine some people dont know.

whats your sn?

only sun down sun rise is real

I know it was current at the time of this post, but I love reading about active use of outdated technology. I've got a thread to bump...

"contemplated like a black metal album". stupid. this album transcends all.
