Battle Of Mice / Jesu - Split CD (Robotic Empire) $11.99 Several years in the making, the long-awaited JESU / BATTLE OF MICE split is finally available. Each band has two exclusive, lengthy tracks on this limited edition release. JESU, comprised of the cult-followed Justin K. Broadrick, showcases "Clear Stream" and "Falling From Grace", two pieces towards the darker end of the spectrum he’s created under the JESU moniker. BATTLE OF MICE contribute the two most sinister songs they’ve recorded, "The Bishop" and "Yellow & Black". Heavier than the material found on their "A Day Of Nights" debut yet more dynamic overall, these two final (?) tracks from BATTLE OF MICE compliment the JESU material well. While both bands utilize traditional "heavy" music instruments, they are also unified by usage of keys, atmospherics, and general unique elements thrown in to vary it all. This CD is limited to a one time pressing of 2000 copies and comes housed in a "mini gatefold" CD jacket.
I ordered the vinyl version. Which you can get links to if you follow that link i posted. There's several colour variations.

Battle of Mice - good music, bad vocalist imo

Single-track LP (!!!) and an EP due in summer, plus some other action ... including mention of a School of Seven Bells remix. This I like the sound of.

is that White Static Demon worth checking out?
― Highly trained BBQ chef (rockapads), Friday, 24 July 2009 01:29 (fourteen years ago) link
I like it. Lots of white noise and feedback in innumerable layers.
― EZ Snappin, Friday, 24 July 2009 01:33 (fourteen years ago) link
New Jesu is the awesome.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 10 August 2009 00:59 (fourteen years ago) link
The Greymachine disc (Broadrick, Diarmuid Dalton, Dave Cochrane and Aaron Turner) is really, really good. Super heavy in the vein of Ice's Under the Skin.
― unperson, Monday, 10 August 2009 02:21 (fourteen years ago) link
greymachine are really good. i mentioned that in the metal thread but no one seemed to share my enthusiasm.
― borntohula, Monday, 10 August 2009 14:57 (fourteen years ago) link
it is good
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 10 August 2009 15:02 (fourteen years ago) link
Anything in the vein of Under the Skin sounds awesome.
― Alex in SF, Monday, 10 August 2009 15:31 (fourteen years ago) link
Both the new Jesu and Greymachine leave me cold. The first is dull, and - for me - too slow to build. The later is just not my bag at all - I've yet to like any music associated with Aaron Turner. Too red-lined, hate the vocals, a touch samey.
However, I absolutely love the White Static Demon album.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 10 August 2009 15:46 (fourteen years ago) link
Listening to the samples on the Aquarius website and the music sounds great (Ice comparisons totally make sense) but the vocals are pretty annoying. It's hard to tell how much of them there are though.
― Alex in SF, Monday, 10 August 2009 17:10 (fourteen years ago) link
Bass sounds awesome.
― Alex in SF, Monday, 10 August 2009 17:12 (fourteen years ago) link
the bass does sound awesome. who is the bassist for this? i think that their contributions and aaron turner's really add a pulse to this album. "wasted" has such an awesome groove to it.
― borntohula, Monday, 10 August 2009 17:28 (fourteen years ago) link
The bassist is Diarmuid Dalton, the drummer is Dave Cochrane. It is Jesu plus Aaron Turner.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 10 August 2009 17:34 (fourteen years ago) link
Really Cochrane's a bassist?
― Alex in SF, Monday, 10 August 2009 17:45 (fourteen years ago) link
Or rather does Cochrane really play drums? I thought he was a bassist.
― Alex in SF, Monday, 10 August 2009 17:46 (fourteen years ago) link
He's the bassist on Under The Skin, for example.
He was also the bassist in God (one of 'em). I didn't know who played what on this disc 'cause I don't have a real copy, just a promo; at one point I had heard that Broadrick was the drummer, though.
― unperson, Monday, 10 August 2009 17:59 (fourteen years ago) link
All I have's the promo so just bad assumptions from me (Alton was on bass last I saw Jesu).
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 10 August 2009 18:03 (fourteen years ago) link
According to discogs it's a Broadrick on drums and a drum machine, two bassists (Cochrane and Dalton), Broadrick (again) and Turner on guitars and vocals.
― Alex in SF, Monday, 10 August 2009 18:04 (fourteen years ago) link
That's discogs though so anything could really be going back there.
― Alex in SF, Monday, 10 August 2009 18:06 (fourteen years ago) link
Two bassists would explain how thick it sounds.

Listening here. "Wasted" is seriously out of fucking control great (dig the awesome "Mentasm"-style stabs.)
― Alex in SF, Monday, 10 August 2009 21:45 (fourteen years ago) link
This is really good, but it would be so much better with Broadrick on guitar. And even just two tracks with Kevin Martin would have made it a total classic for me. Still a really nice album, though. It really is a bit like listening to some lost Ice album.

At the turn of the New Year, I signed a deal with Ghostly International to develop a new project - Pale Sketcher. Pale Sketcher is intended as a vehicle for me to explore, exclusively and in more detail, the 'electronica' side of jesu.It occurred to me during the writing of the last Jesu EP 'Opiate Sun' in early 2009, that Jesu, first and foremost, was intended to be a guitar oriented project. The 'electronica' side of Jesu was just an inevitable direction for me, but never satisfied with this battle between guitars and electronica with Jesu, I decided to separate the two directions - Jesu, now, and for the forseeable future, being guitar based exclusively, with Pale Sketcher being the project where I can focus and develop further, the Jesu 'electronica' sound, without need for further fusion or compromise.Ghostly International saw sense in the concept for this project, when I touched upon this direction with my remix of School Of Seven Bells for Ghostly.So, forthcoming on Ghostly Intl in July 2010, is, on both CD and digital (vinyl TBA) the entry release into the Pale Sketcher project - the entire out of print Jesu release 'Pale Sketches' demixed by Pale Sketcher! Two further remixes, one by King Midas Sound and one from Tower Of Light, will accompany the release, formats TBA.An extract of 'Plans That Fade (Faded Dub)' from 'Pale Sketches Demixed' can be heard on the release page for the forthcoming Ghostly Intl compilation 'Ghostly By Night', to be released April 13th 2010. Please go here -http://ghostly.com/releases/ghostly-by-nightMore Pale Sketcher news soon.Jesu full length LP 3 still in demo stage. Hoping for recording to begin in August 2010, this new LP will be released through Caldo Verde.

i would buy that. always felt like my original disc sounded kinda crappy. and i can't believe i'm saying this about a cd, but not loud enough! or maybe that was just my copy.
― scott seward, Friday, 4 June 2010 21:30 (thirteen years ago) link
i would buy remastered version of first album too. i think that might actually exist already. i should just upgrade all my godflesh. even the stupid fye store across the street has some of the double-disc reissues.
