Ja het is zeker een heel leuk interview. Tof om te zien dat hij na al dat werk en vergaarde roem niet arrogant is geworden. Nog sterker, het interview spreekt meer een minderwaardigheidscomplex dan arrogantie uit.

Avalanche Recordings presents two new and exclusive digital download only LP releases... First up is KRACKHEAD - 'From Hell'. 'From Hell' compiles every track produced from this JKB (as the pseudonym JK Flesh) project, recorded between 1997 and 1999. Included here remastered are the only two tracks that were ever available from this project - 'Cruise Control' from the 'Lo Fibre Companion' compilation on JKB's short lived Lo Fibre label and 'Phaseday' from the 'Future Noir' compilation. Some of the tracks were intended to be released as an EP on the short lived Spite label from Patric Catani (ec80r, Puppetmastaz, etc) but the label folded before release, the rest were tracks intended for the first full length LP 'From Hell', which at one point was discussed for release through Ipecac just before the project was shelved and became absorbed as an inspiration for the JK Flesh and K Mart (Kevin Martin / The Bug) project Curse Of The Golden Vampire specifically the 'Mass Destruction' Ipecac album. 'From Hell' contains nine songs over approx. 48 mins. To buy and to listen to short mid quality MP3 extracts go to the Avalanche Store here. The other new release is from COUNCIL ESTATE ELECTRONICS. Council Estate Electronics is a new project from JKB and Diarmuid Dalton, born from vintage analog only synth and fx improvisations. Project began early 2008 inspired by JKB as he was collecting tracks from old Final cassettes culled from 1983-87 for the forthcoming early Final set. JKB and Diarmuid set about recording long improv sessions using only old analog instruments much like Final did around 1983-87. These sessions are then edited and mixed/produced by JKB. Here is the debut release 'Kitsland', four tracks over approx. 51 mins. Reference points include - Throbbing Gristle, Basic Channel and King Tubby. To buy and to listen to short mid quality MP3 extracts go to the Avalanche Store here.

Jesu is doing very few shows currently. I’m being extremely selective and do not wish to tour in the foreseeable future; I find it damaging mostly in so many respects, and I do not seem to have the health to withstand large spouts of touring anymore

Opiate Sun
Release Date: October 27th, 2009

Justin Broadrick first emerged as a force in music as part of the band Napalm Death in the mid eighties. He then formed Godflesh which cemented his place in a genre which is variously known as extreme, grindcore or just new metal. There are however, many arrows in Justin Broadrick’s quiver. Over the last twenty years he has maintained a series of projects ranging in musical style from punk to industrial to the layered, melodic atmospherics of his current band, Jesu and it’s newest release, an EP called ‘Opiate Sun’. This ability to step outside the confines of musical convention sets him apart creatively from other writer musicians who have been working in his field over this period. Despite, or perhaps because of this stylistic diversity he has attracted an obsessively loyal fanbase and a reliably positive response from critics. The question is always, How does he sound so light while staying so heavy?

Jesu’s output has been spasmodic but of a uniform high quality. All instruments are played by Justin Broadrick and apart from the occasionally guest vocalist (Jarboe from The Swans) he handles all vocals. Two traditional sequenced albums, ‘Jesu’ in 2004, and ‘Conqueror’ in 2007 plus an album length song, ‘Infinity’, in July 2009 have been intertwined with a number of EPs. In 2008 Jesu issued one EP, ‘Why Are We Not Perfect?’ and contributed to two more split EPs with other bands. ‘Opiate Sun’ is the only Jesu release in 2009 aside from ‘Infinity’.

‘Opiate Sun’ will be released in the US and UK on Mark Kozelek’s Caldo Verde Records home of Mark’s own Sun Kil Moon and other transformative musical endeavors. Mark was captured by the strength of Justin’s performance when he saw him live in San Francisco in 2007. Therefore he was only too happy to help out when the opportunity arose to be involved in this important project.

Justin Broadrick is a native of Birmingham, England and resides in Wales. He has produced or remixed releases by Pantera, Isis, and Pelican. He also runs his own label, Avalanche Inc.
