"Silver": Justin Broadrick (Godflesh, Jesu), Nothing, Prurient Rehearsal Performance

In November 2017, Justin Broadrick (Godflesh, Jesu) teamed with Nothing and Dominick Fernow (Prurient) for a one-off live collaboration as part of the 20th anniversary celebration for Fernow's record label Hospital Productions. Revolver was granted exclusive access to the musicians' Brooklyn rehearsal space to film their first-ever practice. Watch the musicians' striking interpretation of Jesu's "Silver" (from the band's 2006 EP of the same name), which elevates the already heady track to new levels of shoegazing awesomeness.

Bro THIS is a rehearsal? It sounds like the second coming of christ

[@musicmaster555]

Are you saying they sound bad or good? lol

[@MasterIrukaPlays]

@@musicmaster555 very good

[@musicmaster555]

@@MasterIrukaPlays Ah, I get it now and agree. Thank you :)

[@iandt1367]

You mean second coming of Jesu

[@Ruffnek310]

Justin is the perfect Vessel his music is purely raw and uncut i don't expect any less from jesus

[@Marigoldpyre]

For the love of Christ, PLEASE just make a full lp as a collab project. Everything about how these guys play together is dream team shit and I'd fork out everything for an album of this.

[@femkilmer2909]

I have a promo flyer ad from one of the Hospital Production shows in late 2018 (IIRC, it was a Halloween show at Vitus w/Akitsa headlining) to promote Hospital Fest 2018 and under the "upcoming releases" it DID include a Jesu/Nothing/Prurient collab LP but since then...nothing. IDK what happened to it, but Broadrick & Fernow are definitely productive & busy w/their main projects so who knows...maybe one day.

[@ivonnegarcia4002]

pretty in love with this version. I hope the audio of this entire session is released.... on vinyl. A girl can dream

I would never have made it through my 20’s without Jesu. Would never understand the aim without hospital in the basement and that black hole of music I entered into. And I would never have hope for the future without a band like Nothing. Thank you all for existing.

This is by far the best version of Silver I've heard... Beautiful collab! Love Prurient, Nothing and especially Jesu.

This is incredible. I can’t believe I haven’t heard this until now. Silver might just be the best EP of all time.

At this point I have to see them possibly collaborate with Boris now. I feel like it could work

Hell yeah; Boris can collaborate with anyone, and make it sound gold (silver?)

When my time comes I want to drown in a soundscape like this as I transition from this life and start my journey to heaven. Slow motion rise muffeled and deafing at the same time. It's like being a mile under the ocean and hearing what 100,000 angels feelings sound like as the secrets of the universe are reveled to your soul all at once in the longest most still instant. It wraps you and envelops you in gods love as you journey towards him.

It's the soundtract telling the story of the pandemic reminiscing on its second year, the heavyness and the aural space textures just gives someone the solace to appreciate the majesty of their tune. Truly, amazing musicianship. Or it may just be me.

Justin I hope someday you play Michigan again. We were super bummed when your manager pulled the plug on the Michigan show. This being the second time I had tickets for a Godflesh show that wasn't happening. Sad as myself and all my friends were. We realised (after some confusion ) that it was not your fault. So Godflesh or Jesu or even solo you have many fans here. We would very much like to see you. Been a fan since street cleaner. Really love your music and so do many of my friends. You are always welcome here.

@@onloveandsublimation4912 yeah you can definitely hear him in places, but he's not prominent. Palermo mentions in the documentary that Fernow had never played with a live band before, so that explains a lot about his performance here.
