My friends band Killing Joke are about 2 drop their 1st album since their last studio effort in 1996.
Dave Grohl is drumming at his power-house best on it, (they also tracked versions with Chris Vrenna ex-NIN, and John Dolmayan from System of A Down) sounds raw and full of fury as ever.
Killing Joke have influenced many bands: Metallica, Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, Skinny Puppy, Soundgarden, Helmet, Mad Capsule Markets - even the beloved Nirvana (Nirvana's management were scared 2 release 'Come As You Are' as Kurt admitted he'd ripped off Killing Joke's track: 'Eighties')
Jaz played me 'Loose Cannon' back in 1998, and it sounds just as intense as I remembered
Unfortunately I think the video is the worst one they've ever done, a bit of a wasted opportunity I thought. So dont know what happened there - download it from their site: www.killingjoke.com and tell me what U think...Interested in feedback from the ROCK fans amongst u orgers.
