Jesu Postpone Start of North American Tour
Obviously, U.S. Immigration has no respect for extreme metal legends

Though Jesu's Conqueror was released via Hydra Head today, the band will not appear on the first part of their previously reported tour with Isis due to work visa issues. Justin K. Broadrick and co. have just secured the visas and will make their U.S. debut on March 5 in Orlando.

Jesu bassist Diarmuid Dalton will not play with the band on any dates, but Broadrick discography nerds will recognize the name of his replacement: Dave Cochrane. Cochrane has worked with Broadrick previously in Ice, Head of David, Sweet Tooth, God, and Grey Machine (their newest collaboration). Intronaut drummer Danny Walker will replace Ted Parsons at the kit. Parsons is unable to make the tour due to family commitments.
