>'Killing Joke's eponymous debut should have been a serious contender for
>the recent Most influential Albums poll. Not only did it have a massive
>impact on bands as diverse as Godflesh and Akercocke, it set the tone for
>the industrial aesthetic of Chicago's Invisible Records, and thanks to
>oddball frontman Jaz Coleman, they could embrace the apocalypse with more
>conviction than anyone on the face of the planet.

>For those about to discover the band through Dave Grohl's recent
>involvement, this collection of early rarities, live and unreleased tracks
>is a fascinating guide to their minimalist, dub-inflected post-punk roots.
>Then resembling a more subterranean PiL, their driving pulse was marked out
>by Raven's cranium cracking bass and Geordie's scouring pad riffs. Twenty
>years on, it's lost none of its harrowing power.

>Also, one of the Kerrang! crew includes 'Democracy' on their 'currently
