Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Jesu is a British Drone Metal / Shoegazing band consisting of Justin K. Broadrick (also of Industrial Metal band Godflesh and formerly of Napalm Death), Diarmuid Dalton, and Ted Parsons.The band is known for their lengthy, surprisingly soothing "metalgaze." Broadrick's lyrics are both personal and political, and somehow work for the genre. Shoegazing is known for being difficult in making a message in the music, seeing as vocals are usually not really worked with. Somehow Jesu succeeds in giving their music "something to say."Their 3 albums and several EPs have gotten critical recognition matching shoegaze legends My Bloody Valentine. To say that this band is epic is an understatement.Band members (Current): Justin Broadrick: Vocals, guitar, bass, electronics Diarmuid Dalton: Bass Ted Parsons: DrumsAdvertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Band members (Past): Phil Petrocelli: Drums Aaron Harris: Drums (Live) Danny Walker: Drums (Live) Dave Cochran: BassDiscography: Heart Ache (EP, 2004) Jesu (2005) Silver (EP, 2006) Conqueror (2007) Sundown/Sunrise (EP, 2007) Lifeline (EP, 2007) Why Are We Not Perfect (EP, 2008) Infinity (2009) Opiate Sun (EP, 2009) Christmas (EP, 2010) Ascension (2011) Every Day I Get Closer to the Light From Which I Came (2013) Jesu / Sun Kil Moon (Collaboration, 2016) 30 Seconds to the Decline of Planet Earth (Collaboration with Sun Kil Moon, 2017) Terminus (2020) Pity/Piety (EP, 2022) | |

Establishing Series Moment | |
| Jesu (Music) / int_41c08e5 | comment |
Establishing Series Moment: The debut EP Heart Ache does this with its first track, which starts off sounding a lot like Godflesh before it lightens into the band's normal, shoegazey sound, serving almost as an introduction or mission statement for the band. | |

Epic Instrumental Opener | |
| Jesu (Music) / int_6f2fe973 | comment |
Epic Instrumental Opener: Many songs, but the best is probably "Heart Ache" on the band's debut EP, which starts with a dark instrumental section that sounds a lot like Godflesh, before transitioning into a Lighter and Softer section more typical of the band, and then the vocal section. All in all, it takes about 8 minutes for the vocals to show up in the song. Other songs that use this prominently include "Sun Down", "Sun Rise", "Friends are Evil", and "Infinity". | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Jesu (Music) / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: Conqueror is this to their debut, sounding much more upbeat and optimistic while the self-titled record had a more downcast, melancholy atmosphere. The whole project can be seen as a Lighter and Softer Godflesh. Both bands share the same sonic foundations (repetitive downtuned guitar and prominent bass), but Jesu trades the bleak and menacing atmosphere of Godflesh for a warmer, pastoral sound. | |

Limited Lyrics Song: Most of their songs will just repeat a couple lines of lyrics over and over for the duration. Averted with their Sun Kil Moon collaborations, which feature Mark Kozelek's signature highly verbose lyrics. | |
