[kj] Killing Joke influenced band: Alchemist - 2 tracks to stream

[Alexander Smith]

"What's Alex in NYC's verdict of these tracks?"

I haven't heard them yet, but honestly? I kinda have no real interest  
in hearing any further bands "influenced" by Killing Joke. I mean, I  
loved Belfegore and the odd Play Dead track (not to mention Prong and  
Ministry), but when I'm looking for that sound,  I'm frankly more  
interested in hearing the definite article, not pretenders to the  
throne.

It's for this same reason I don't have a lot of time for October  
File. Get your own style/sound/aesthetic, boys.

Alex in NYC
