Led by founding member Dorian Deveraux, the band has returned with an uncompromising sound that pushes their signature mix of industrial beats, searing guitars and raw emotion to the next level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JoE have today (11th July) dropped the heavy-hitting \u2018Soul Crusher\u2019 as a new single, with Deveraux stating that&nbsp;<em>\u201cit\u2019s a post-breakup song dealing with the feeling of reality kicking in after you&#8217;ve basically mourned the loss of a loved one. You start to see them for what they really are and you start wondering if any of it was even real or if you&#8217;ve been gaslighted all along. I&#8217;d be lying (mostly to myself) if I told you the song isn&#8217;t autobiographical. It was written in the aftermath of a pretty dark period in my life and was an outlet to deal with the trauma.\u201d<br><br><\/em>&#8216;Soul Crusher&#8217; offers a further brutal preview of the forthcoming new JoE album, \u2018Between Despair And Disbelief\u2019, out on 12th September via Metropolis Records. Giving fans a tantalising taste of their second coming with the single \u2018Wide Awake\u2019 in 2023, the band subsequently signed to the label to issue \u2018Days Gone By\u2019 in late 2024. Both were heavier, more intense and unapologetically aggressive than ever before.&nbsp;<em>\u201cIt looks like the world is going to hell. We might as well deliver the soundtrack for that,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;adds Deveraux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JoE will tour Europe with Die Krupps in September, on which fans can expect an unrelenting live set packed with new material and reimagined classics, proving that their resurgence is built. With a harder edge and a fire that refuses to burn out, JoE fully intend to leave an everlasting mark on the alternative rock landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe title=\"Jesus on Extasy &quot;Soul Crusher&quot;\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yOQuy1E29Sg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Celebrated in the media as a driving force in their scene duting the \u201800s, JoE were recognised as a \u2018New Industrial Rock Highlight\u2019 by the German magazine Sonic Seducer while also gracing covers of other specialist print titles in mainland Europe such as Orkus, Zillo and Elegy. Their genre-defying sound and bold aesthetic made them one of the most talked-about acts in the dark music underground, with songs like \u2018Assassinate Me\u2019 and \u2018Neochrome\u2019 becoming cult classics and the band sharing stages with the likes of Marilyn Manson, Nightwish, Eisbrecher and The Birthday Massacre before stepping away from the spotlight and disappearing into the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dmanalytics2.com\/click?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fjesusonextasyofficial&amp;i=7&amp;d=mFPB46LITsSXSwJRZvLjNA&amp;e=alex%40mkultramagazine.com&amp;a=efTR9yPJR124Se6FieoL4g&amp;s=8B2XaHKO-d4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0| \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dmanalytics2.com\/click?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fjesusonextasy_official&amp;i=8&amp;d=mFPB46LITsSXSwJRZvLjNA&amp;e=alex%40mkultramagazine.com&amp;a=efTR9yPJR124Se6FieoL4g&amp;s=1btof041Qm0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0| \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dmanalytics2.com\/click?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tiktok.com%2F%40jesusonextasy%3F&amp;i=9&amp;d=mFPB46LITsSXSwJRZvLjNA&amp;e=alex%40mkultramagazine.com&amp;a=efTR9yPJR124Se6FieoL4g&amp;s=8eKMxpzp7bQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TikTok<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Industrial rock insurgents&nbsp;Jesus on Extasy&nbsp;are back &#8211; darker, heavier and more relentless than ever.
