The latest single, “Days Gone By”, reflects a darker and more intense sound for the band. Dorian Deveraux, who leads the band following the departure of his brother Chai Deveraux in early 2024, describes the track as deeply personal, touching on themes of isolation, depression, and the struggles of the past few years.
Dorian says that the break was essential for his growth as an artist, allowing him to realign his vision for JoE. “This new era will be harder, more uncompromising, and more authentic,” Deveraux explains, reflecting the shift in the band’s sound.
Formed in the early 2000s, Jesus On Extasy gained recognition for blending industrial rock with electronic elements, offering tracks like “Assassinate Me” and “Drowning”. However, after years of success, the band went on hiatus, with members pursuing individual projects. The return of JoE in 2020 came at a difficult time due to the COVID-19 pandemic, delaying plans for live shows and studio work.
