According to the website: "Two traditional sequenced albums, Jesu in 2004, and Conqueror in 2007 plus an album length song, Infinity, in July 2009 have been intertwined with a numbe rof EPs. In 2008 Jesu issued one EP, Why Are We Not Perfect? and contributed to two more split EPs with other bands. Opiate Sun is the only Jesu release in 2009 aside from 'Infinity.'"
"After conquering grindcore (Napalm Death), industrial metal (Godflesh), and dystopian dub (Techno Animal), musical omnivore Justin K. Broadrick found melody and formed Jesu. On this EP, the band continues its brilliant voyage to rock’s outer limits, setting Broadrick’s elegiac vocals against a wall of fuzzed-out guitar" ("Playlist," Wired, 11/09, p. 61).
