Caleb Bratcher One of the most chilling and beautiful metal records you'll ever hear. The heavy wall of instrumentation provides the perfect contrast to jesu's soft vocals that keep me focused throughout each track. Favorite track: Brighteyes.

Jeremy Withers Hey! You got your shoegaze in my industrial! You got your metal in my trip-hop! You got your CRUSHING WALLS OF DISTORTION ALL UP IN MY EARHOLES!!!!

And I love it all - one hell of a slow-motion tsunami.

Conqueror 08:10
All the colours that we saw, they touched us All the trails that they made, we followed We can be just like all of the others We have to be just like all of the others All the spaces they made for us Are all filled up And they will deceive us and they will desert us But all our colours will always be with us And all our colours they will always be with us All our colours will always be with us...

Old Year 05:46
Spend your time wasting All the wasteful hating Now who are you blaming? Are we worth saving? Is this how it's always going to be...? Now you're stuck in our old year But I believe in the new year Now who are you blaming? Are you worth saving? Is this how it's always going to be...?

Transfigure 05:58
It's the same feeling It's like I'm still reeling Where there's no feeling I still need you right now. Would you do it better? Is that how it's done just right? Is it then perfect? You are so clever. It's the same feeling Like I'm still reeling When there's no feeling I still need you now.

Try not to lose yourself I'm way past trying I'm way past caring I'm way past hoping Try not to lose yourself You're always needing You're always hoping Wash away your tears Try not to lose yourself

Medicine 07:22
The medicine is all we need To keep us away and hidden We can only see the sunset We never see the sunrise In our funny little homes We're really quite alone We're just a sitting target For your superiority Sunrise Sunset The medicine is all we need

Brighteyes 07:20
How can those eyes be so dull, When they always burn so bright? They force us to lose all our faith, They just turn us to waste. They turn our love to hate They turn life to death They turn our souls to ash Turn our souls to ash Those eyes be so dull.
7.
Mother Earth 07:16
Always shine, Always shine bright down on me. Mother Earth, Mother Earth take the pain away. All we are, All we are we'll never be. Mother Earth, Mother Earth take the pain away. Away...
8.
Stanlow 05:58
All the ghosts that haunt us don't scare We're just too selfish to be that aware. Why believe yourself? Dull clouds line the pathways To ugly skylines Rivers flow to grey buildings Sweet air, bitter taste Why believe yourself? Why...?

about

J.K. Broadrick triumphantly returns with his second, and quite appropriately titled, Jesu full-length (the follow-up to 2006’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.
