[B. Oliver Sheppard]

Good place to start w/ Amebix: Arise! + 2 LP from Alternative Tentacles, 
1985.

Their KJ influence is a little less evident on this LP, but the title 
song,"Arise," is pretty much a more metal "Wardance," I think. In any 
event, they are still fans of KJ. I emailed Rob, the singer of Amebix a 
few days ago, joked the re-formed Amebix should try to get a few gigs 
opening for the original reunited lineup of KJ, he said he'd love to, 
and that KJ are still basically his favorite band.
