Lets give this band some honour, I personly love Killing Joke with ther dark and almost goth like sound, I have four of their albums (want more), thier s/t debute, NIght Time, Pandemonium, and Hosannas from the Bassments of Hell. this band was not metal in the beginning thier metal started with Extremetis, Dirt and Various Repressed Emotions (I don't have this album but the next Pandemonium have clare Industrial metal, alternative metal soung with gothic undertones mostly becouse of the synth layers) this are some of the lesser known bands they have influenced  not many knows this but they are probably after the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Roxy Music and Kraftwerk the most influencial band on the planet.

I absolutely love Killing Joke. I haven�t followed them the last couple of albums but especially /wiki/Extremities,_Dirt_%26_Various_Repressed_Emotions - Extremities, Dirt & Various Repressed Emotions gets a high score from me. Unlike other people I know I also enjoy their more commercial eighties efforts like Night Time, Brighter than a Thousand Suns and Outside the Gate. I know most fans hate the latter, but I find it quite enjoyable. I was introduced to Killing Joke through Pandemonium and also purchased Democracy when that came out. Great albums both of them. I can�t wait until I get a chance to start reviewing their discography. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

Weren't they planning to release a new album this year ?
Their concert in Paris was postponed to september.
As far as their gothic era is concerned, their best album is their self-titled, followed closely by the tribal 'fire dances'.
Regarding their metal era, their self-titled is also their best (it features a certian Dave grohl on drums), followed closely by 'extremities, dirt and various repressed emotions'.

They will release their new album 'feast of fools' on 6 september, and I should be able to see them in Paris on 27 september. A friend of mine will see them at Hellfest this weekend, he will tell me about the orientation of the new album (which will feature the original line-up).

Have you listened to Pandemonium Hugues? But otherwise yes they might belong more in proto-metal, seing as they have been greatly influential upon the industrial metal genre than in the actual industrial metal sub. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

Nope, I must say I haven't.... I'm mostly familiar with the early to mid80's stuff
When I think of KJ, http://rateyourmusic.com/genre/Post%2dPunk/ - Post-Punk , http://rateyourmusic.com/genre/Industrial+Rock/ - Industrial Rock , http://rateyourmusic.com/genre/New+Wave/ - New Wave , http://rateyourmusic.com/genre/Gothic+Rock/ - Gothic Rock come to mind, but not metal music
guess I'll have to rent Pandemonium ------------- my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicted musicians to crazy ones.... |

Take a listen to Pandemonium or maybe Extremeties. Both have lots of metal elements. The latter is a favorite of mine. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |
