Industrial rock project Jesus On Extasy (JoE) has issued another single/lyric video, "Somewhat Happy", from its approaching album, Between Despair And Disbelief, set for release on 12 September via Metropolis Records.
The band's founder and vocalist, Dorian Deveraux, comments: "The apocalyptic post breakup song you didn't know you needed". Describing the song as a paean to "how to move on after a traumatic relationship that left your world in shambles, when you're starting to get clarity and see your ex-partner for who they really are", the song can be seen as lyrically related to "Soul Crusher", its heavy-hitting predecessor released in July.
Jesus On Extasy will be on tour in Europe with Die Krupps in late August and September, followed by another one with KMFDM in early 2026. Fans can expect an unrelenting live set packed with new material and reimagined classics, proving that their resurgence isn't just a return - it's here to stay. With a harder edge and a fire that refuses to burn out, Jesus On Extasy intends to leave an everlasting mark on the alternative rock landscape (see the dates below and find more info HERE). Link
