Nord (Radar Swarm). Review by Matthew Moyer.
... potent hybrid of the vibrant textures of shoegazing and the dense bleakness of black metal -- Year of No Light has seized upon heaviness the way Jesu have, seeking strength through vulnerability. Nord is as much the clouds-parting explosions of Ride and early Verve and Sonic Youth, the underwater ecstatices ...

Matt Cibula conquers his headache to tell us about seventeen songs by the teenaged Welsh songstress, with charming bonus footage.
... of yucky "video" way. And it jumps around a lot, too, which provides Unintentional Comedy Rating gold: one second, she's a little kid singing "Pie Jesu" with funny-looking former little kid Billy Gilman, the next she's her current 16-year-old self, all hotted up in a red slinky number and doing a funky ...

Gold (Really Useful). Review by Joe Frietze.
... sound just as vibrant as the recent recordings. For those few minutes, you feel as if you are sitting in the theater as Charlotte Church sings "Pie Jesu," a performance strong enough to make my wife weep. But, alas, it is only for a moment.

And the vocals, oh god, the vocals. Executed with the faceful-of-organs brio of Carcass or Pig Destroyer and the drunken gurgle of Weedeater ...

It’s opaque and uncaring. “Sjakk Matt Jesu Krist” is total thrash heaven/hell, just this one head-tossing riff repeated ad infinitum while Fenriz slurs and growls intermittently. Dumb like ...

Solo Guitar (Silber Media). Review by Aaron Shaul.
... parts an obliterating rhythm section that abruptly cuts out and is replaced with a tinny hum that sounds a tuning diode. "Sagrado Corazon de Jesu" (both the first and second attempts) are more languid and restrained. There are moments in the second attempt where a thick emptiness of sound hangs in the ...

Vespers (Abandoned Love Records). Review by Matthew Moyer.
... and calm to Vespers, unhurried and unafraid to be quiet and vulnerable -- similar to the strength through humility that I saw in Justin Broadrick's Jesu live. The organ on "Girl in the Moon" shimmers and smolders like tiny votive candles, each note a distinct and otherworldly flicker (like Garth Hudson ...
