Dead Swords
Broken Souls

He had invented it JKB when he was depressed, and it worked well.

On one hand, the slow pace of Doom, on the other, a wall of feedback. He gave it a nice name: "Jesu" and produced new records. Interesting sounds, beautiful works. Marvelous covers.

It all lasted too little. Not everything: the covers have always remained beautiful. But the works, gradually, showed their limits in no time: either you repeat yourself, or you’ve already said everything. JKB tried to say other things by repeating himself, and for nine years he has struggled to stay afloat in the sea of inspiration.

But JKB had a few disciples, "Fragment." and "Iroha," above all. People who play exactly what his Jesu played when the glass of inspiration hadn’t dried up yet. Nice records. Some more, some less: inspiration runs out quickly when on one hand you have the most repetitive genre in history and on the other what follows closely behind.

The Dead Swords do something different: if JKB starts from doom, they prefer shoegaze. If Jesu has the most beautiful covers in metal, they don't. But they are not metal, even if they are doom.
They start from shoegaze and weigh it down with all those things you can find in any doom review.

They find the new in an antique shop. Dusty, moldy, creased, but it’s new.
Honestly, I didn't think it could be done, least of all for free. Oh God, perhaps Boris... But, damn: Boris wouldn’t even give you a used paper napkin for free!
