Jesus on Extasy

Thanks to my bro JJ, I was tipped off about this new band in the Industrial Rock arena. Based in Germany, their music, has a definitive influence from the popular German industrial music. I cannot really say that their music however is the most original of the kind. For those of you who are familiar with the music scene in this genre and slightly similar ones, will notice a certain uncanny resemblance in parts of JOE's compositions with other bands. But nevertheless, there are some really ear tantalizing tracks which will definitely get you hooked.

Tracks are mostly dark with a electronic rant in the background with experimental vocals; experimental because they sound different in each composition. The band caught my attention, not because of their drumming, vocals, strumming or anything individually, but for their 'compositions' in whole. The experience is strikingly awesome.

Ambience - Let me suggest a rainy/cloudy day to try the tracks. This will most undoubtedly set the right state of mind to assimilate the electronic intricacies in the music.

Favourite Tracks - No gods, Tonight, Assassinate me

Similar Bands - Marlyn Manson, Rammstein, Nine Inch Nails

Rating - 7.0/10

Peace,
