According to Webster's dictionary "ascension" is the moving to a higher or more powerful position. As a title for Jesu's newest album, its first traditional album since 2007, it's a perfect description. Jesu is Justin Broadrick and he has been on this path for many years now. Ascension may be another way station on this journey or it may be a peak but it certainly is part of a body of work that is rising with much power and majesty.
