Jesu mastermind Justin K. Broadrick has released a Final album. Don't panic; Jesu isn't over! We're talking about Broadrick's semi-confusingly-named solo project, Final.

Avalanche has put out the new Final record, Fade Away, as its first download-only release, and it is available now from the label's online store.

Fade Away consists of four tracks for a total running time of about 47 minutes. The music "explores minimal pulselike drones, intended for late night listening," according to the official description on Jesu's MySpace and Avalanche's website.

Avalanche is also working on vinyl editions of Jesu's Pale Sketches and Heart Ache, as well as Final's Afar, which should ship in early July. And, as usual, Mr. Broadrick's doing a million other things. A relatively recent checklist can be found here.
