Alice M. I can’t help but see this album as “strange”, but I often feel like going back to it.

Lethean The first time I fell in love with this was way back in late 2004, and it's still as monumental. Favorite track: Friends Are Evil.

Dani Labisse nice shoegazy stuff with a bit of godflesh towards the end Favorite track: Tired of Me.

Clark Travagini heavy as fuck Favorite track: Friends Are Evil.

lotusplasma Outstanding. If you're interested at all in drone, shoegaze, or electric guitars in general, you need to buy this album.

Minik Olsen Great atmospheric songs!

about

Few albums represent an individual and genre defining milestone as does the self titled debut from Justin Broadrick's Jesu. Combining the considerable sonic weight of Godflesh with brittle melancholy melodies in hypnotic long-form structures, it provided ample evidence of Broadrick's myriad capabilities as a song writer and ceaselessly creative musical innovator. While the eight tracks that comprise the album truly sound like no one else, they also hinted at previously unexplored areas of tenderness and subtlety. Though Jesu went on to mine those more harmonious aspects of its sound on subsequent releases to great effect, none rivaled the debut in its perfectly crafted mixture of beauty, heaviness, hope and despair. Much has happened since the arrival of this album, both for Broadrick as well as the musical world(s) he inhabits, but nothing has diminished the gleaming radiance of this darkened gem.

POST SELF
by GODFLESH

supported by 94 fans who also own “Jesu”

Dur de définir qu'elle est le meilleur album de GODFLESH, en fait ils ont tous leur singularité. Je trouve que sur cet album GODFLESH a atteint une sorte de perfection à leur musique, à la fois froide, brutale et industrielle mais aussi envoûtante et mentale. Cet album est un condensé du meilleur de GODFLESH, c'est pour moi l'album de la consécration. Je vais mettre "BE GOD" en titre préféré pour sa puissance, lourde et complètement mystique mais tous les titres sont excellents. gaston_macoute

A World Lit Only By Fire
by GODFLESH

supported by 81 fans who also own “Jesu”

'A World Lit Only By Fire' is an angry and gloomy motherfucker. From the start, you're being battered with pummeling, gritty low end, piercing dissonance and industrial cold. It paints a dystopian picture in my mind - of bulldozers slowly crawling through a wasteland and people hiding in sheer panic, hungry and desperate for a glimpse of hope. But in 'A World Lit Only By Fire', there is no such thing. Simon Sludge

The Bees Made Honey In The Lion's Skull
by Earth

supported by 65 fans who also own “Jesu”

Si le message n'était pas assez clair dans Hibernaculum, Earth en remet une couche dans The Bees Made Honey In The Lion's Skull : le lion qui pouvait neutraliser les dieux avec sa mâchoire est mort, réduit à l'état de squelette. Malgré tout, une nouvelle forme de vie est possible grâce à lui et c'est tout l'enjeu de cet album. L'americana prend une place plus importante et de nouveaux instruments se rajoutent, faisant de ce drone une expérience de liberté incomparable — surtout en randonnée. Jordan Vauvert
