Subject: [kj] [KJ] OT: NAPALM DEATH - Killing Joke fans...
Importance: High



First time I saw 'em, was on that highly entertaining BBC documentary called 'Heavy Metal', 
which also includes Jimmy Page for all you Zeppelin haters HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Anyway, when I saw them on that docu in '89, I couldn't help but see them as a novelty 
- I think many did when they heard 'You Suffer'. I never realised they were so staunchly political. 
I've mentioned them on here before & there are a few fans of the earlier material. I always liked 
Diatribes, but had not really gotten into the band. 

So I went to see them again this summer, a good excuse to get my mate out. Not my c0ck, 
I mean to get my friend out the house. No, that's not another euphemism for getting my 
c0ck out in public, but if it makes you tingle, then that's OK. 

Well, this time it just totally fucking clicked. Pure fucking gold!!!!!!!! Since then I haven't 
listened to much else. I love how they came back with Enemy in 2000 & haven't stopped it 
since. But then I like the 90's material too - the variation of this band astounds. If you get 
a chance to watch 'Punishment in Capitals', it's sure to make your love-glands do things. 

And the fact they're (originally) local to me (Birmingham UK, home of METAL!!! \m/ ), highly 
political, are a mixture of death, hardcore, punk, alternative, have great influences such as 
Killing Joke - they really stand out. They sound very English!. They don't like to conform/ 
compromise, the original line-ups (the guys who recorded side one of Scum) became Scorn, 
Godflesh (talking of early Swans!) - all bands that give me the horn. Anyone heard Scorn's Vae 
Solis? Post-ND Cumfest. 

So, anyway - give 'em a go - many of you may like to dip into them via 2003's "The Code is Red... 
Long Live the Code": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJS76JZbP1s
