The Villain

While joy gave clouds the light of stars,
That beamed where'er they looked;
And calves and lambs had tottering knees,
Excited,while they sucked;
While every bird enjoyed his song,
Without one thought of harm or wrong-
I turned my head and saw the wind,
Not far from where I stood,
Dragging the corn by her golden hair,
Into the a dark and lonely wood.

Jesu : Opiate Sun

Jesu was on my radar for long time ,finally i could find their demo :Opiate sun which was acceptable but not outstanding.

The sense and atmosphere of their music is bleak-melancholic with distorted crunchy guitar riffs and clean vocals;an experimental-rock sound we can call.

Justin Broadrick singing style is pefectly fit for the music.The lyrics are simple but at the same time sophisticated.something comparable to Isis or my favorite band Minsk.

I guess it's soon to make fair judgement about the band ; i'll give a 6/10 score to this post-metal/industrial album.I'm going to give their 2007album Conquerer a try.
