More Info
The true Godfathers of almost any modern heavy music out these days, these guys were/are criminally overlooked and undercredited for their influence and vision. As reviewer Chuck Eddy so aptly put it, this music 'sounds like it was made 1,000 years in the past or 1,00 years in the future' but it's hard to tell which.
Apocalyptic savagery at its best, this album set a standard that has yet to be matched by any other band. Self -produced and precise as a surgeon's scalpel in its delivery, this album contains enduring classics that sound as fresh and original today as over 40 years ago. Bands such as Big Black and Sepultura borrowed a few riffs off here for their own aural pounding, and Ministry has been very forthcoming about its influence on their sound. But only Killing Joke can walk the thin line between primal intensity and soaring beauty found on tracks such as "Requiem" and "The Wait."
