The Catamites prove it only takes two to shred your eardrums to
pieces. Soundterrorist Stephen O'Malley is a role model of the
(sludge) metal scene thanks to his work with Sunn O))) and
Khanate. Chris Brokaw was the fantastic drummer of slowcore
band Codeine and guitarist of indie rock legend Come. With this
fresh collaboration these two gentlemen know how to brew a
strange though well balanced recipe of intense drones and
bittersweet pounding. Earplugs recommended.

Met slechts twee man sterk helpt The Catamites je trommelvliezen
om zeep. Met Stephen O'Malley en Chris Brokaw in de rangen
kan dat moeilijk anders. Geluidsterrorist O'Malley mag zich een
gevestigde waarde in de metalwereld noemen met zijn
cultcollectief Sunn O))) en überband Khanate. Brokaw kennen we
nog als drummer van het slowcore-gezelschap Codeine en als gitarist van de ter ziele gegane
indielegende Come. De twee klasbakken weten hun begeesterd spel perfect te balanceren en brouwen
zo een vonkend delirium van bitterzoet klankgebeuk. Dreunende bezweringen met intensiteit troef van een
kersvers duo.

Chris Brokaw est principalement connu pour ses anciennes implications avec groupes Come et Codeine
ainsi qu'avec G.G. Allin. Stephen O'Malley est un musicien, principalement un guitariste, de Seattle,
Washington qui a fondé – ou participé à – de nombreux groupes de drone doom, death/doom et de
musique expérimentale. Il est actuellement dans les groupes Ginnungagap, KTL, Lotus Eaters et Sunn 0))), et
a fondé avec Greg Anderson le label Southern Lord Records.

Jesus is my son has re-recorded the 4-titles ‘Sacrifices Odieux’. 6 extra tracks were also recorded. The album was released in March on FF HHH & Cheap Satanism Records. (100 cassettes & digitals). A second album has been recorded this summer: SOLAH #2. The album will be released in a near future on the label ini.itu.   FUTURE   Some other albums are in the pipeline. One should be recorded before end 2015. This album will be the first album with some improvisation parts between the classical Jesus is my son sound and the German band Popol-Vuh.   STORY   Jesus is my son is the solo project of Grégory Duby. The project is a listening of string vibrations, the music is melancholic with space to escape. A pure moment of inner contemplation.   Grégory Duby is a guitarist from Brussels (BE) active in the field of rock and improvised music. Besides his project Jesus is my son, he plays in the loud band Zoho and previously in the trio K-branding. He records albums of improvised and noise music. He creates the label FF HHH and is one of the mainstays of Mandaï Distribution.   With Jesus is my son, Grégory wants to approach the idea of immortality, to render each moment eternal. Thanks to this slowness or pattern repetitions, the time stretches itself and eternity may rush into these free spaces. The first release of Jesus is my son is the 4-title ‘Sacrifice Odieux’. The music of this EP is hot, suffocating, slow and desertic. April 2010, the album ‘Je suis Dieux’ is issued. With this second release, Jesus is my son’s music becomes more mystic, more aggressive, more distorded. The sound and the themes are close to Olivier Messiaen’s church organ music.   In February 2012, the second full album named ‘1914-1918’ is released. The subject of the album is the great war. This album is not about battles or politics. The scope of the album is outside the action. It relates the lifes of the soldiers between battles, the survival in the trenches, the fear to disappear. It tells also about decimated families, about the long silences before the fights. With this album the war is told through its non-events and gives it its real dramatic meaning.   In March 2015 and 9 years after the first EP: ‘Sacrifices Odieux’. the album is re-recorded and 6 extra tracks are added. The new songs were composed during the years following the 4-titles. Some tracks were finalized quite quick, some others were re-worked from time to time until now. This release as the 4-titles is an album of contemplation. An heavy, minimal and sweet album.   Jesus is son was invited by the American band Codeine to open there shows in Belgium and in the Netherlands. Jesus is my son has also played with Stephen O’malley, Extra Life, Josef van Wissem, Cian Nugent, Neokarma Jooklo Trio, Carla Bozulich, Amen Dunes, Steve Gunn, …   RELEASES   Sacrifices Odieux revisited (Full album Cassette / 2015 / FF HHH & Cheap Satanism records) 1914-1918 (Full album CD / 2012 / FF HHH) Je suis Dieu (Full album CD-R / 2010 / FF HHH) Sacrifices Odieux (4-Title CD-R / 2006 / FF HHH)
