Out now is Killing Joke's "Requiem" DVD+CD double pack which features the entire live set they gave at the Belgian festival De Lokerse Feesten in the Summer of 2003. Formed in late 1978, during the eighties Killing Joke continued to release albums, all of which failed to regain...

I signed on yesterday, and I had to mouse-wade through the ads to see where the hell to enter my password. Today, on the mainpage www.myspace.com, Steve Carrell and Anne Hathaway stand on either side of the front page- like lions in front of mystical gates- looking quite intimidating and accusatory.And what's with the top that says "New to myspace?

Paul Raven, bass player for Killing Joke (as well as Ministry, Prong and numerous other bands) was found dead from an apparent heart attack today.www.undercover.com.auSad news, so I want to give the guy some respect. During a period of the 80's when a lot of English bands that I had once loved (The Damned, I'm looking at you) seemed to be getting progressively wimpier and fey, Killing Joke was...

Bought this when it came out on cd on the Noise Label out of Germany. One of my all time top ten cds. RIP Raven! From the start, "Money Is Not Our god!" to the human theme of "Struggle", this is a powerhouse of a cd, especially when Jaz is singing "I feel Hate! Don't be afraid to Hate!" and meaning, the frustration of society of money and greed and the worst of human emotion, which is playing o...

"...WARDANCE!"Not quite your usual audience interaction at a concert, but then again, Jaz Coleman isn't your usual frontman.I've spent some time this evening listening to Killing Joke's latest live album, XXV Gathering, and I'm stunned by what I've found. If you missed "my initial post about Killing Joke":http://mog.com/Dale/blog_post/37878, please check it out. These guys have been around for ...

Whenever anyone tells me 80's stuff was all wimpy and unintelligent, I throw on Killing Joke's 1985 LP "Night Time". Oh sure, KJ made punkier, heavier records, but to me this album was a perfect mix of dense, aggressive sounds and well written songs. Most people know this record because of the song "Eighties", which is a classic, but the LP title track is great too, as well as this tune, "Love ...

Somewhere deep inside me is an eloquent post to celebrate this historic Inauguration Day, but it's just not coming out. So, in lieu of that, here's some big thumping tunage from Killing Joke, and a hope that our fractured nation may start healing now.Come inside boy - they call this fun!(Music to please the adolescent)Taking the easy way out againPart of the process - same old storyFollow the l...
