Industrial rock act Jesus on Extasy will release their new full-length “Between Despair and Disbelief” on 12 September 2025 via Metropolis Records. The record follows the singles “Somewhat Happy” and “Soul Crusher”, which preview the album’s heavier direction. “It looks like the world is going to hell. We might as well deliver the soundtrack for that,” says frontman Dorian Deveraux.
The album will be out on digital platforms and as a vinyl LP.
Jesus on Extasy will support Die Krupps on European dates in late August and September 2025, including London (The Dome) on 21 September. The band is also announced for selected dates on KMFDM’s Europe 2026 tour (February–March).
About Jesus on Extasy
Formed in Essen, Germany in 2005 by Dorian Deveraux and Chai Deveraux, Jesus on Extasy emerged with the demo EP “Assassinate Us” before signing to Drakkar Entertainment following a Bochum Total festival appearance in 2006.
The debut album “Holy Beauty” (2007) and follow-up “Beloved Enemy” (2008) established the band’s electronic/industrial rock profile. In 2010, “No Gods” arrived (EU via Drakkar; North America via Artoffact Records), while “The Clock” (2011) was released through Farscape Records in Germany and via Artoffact in North America.
After a hiatus announced in 2014, Jesus on Extasy resumed activity in 2020, issuing new material in 2023–2025 and signing with Metropolis Records for the forthcoming album. The current core lineup centers on Dorian Deveraux and Chai Deveraux.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
