Tae-tanic black metal should be a genre.

Listening to the full Killing Joke releases in order at the minute (highly recommended, but not the point here) and reading the stories about each album as I'm listening along, no great exploration, just hitting the wiki sources at the bottom of the pages.


Anyway...

Isn't it great to be reading the oul lore around classic albums and it really does help keep both the albums themselves and also our own memories of the times more vivid.

Was watching Alice In Chains Unplugged over the last few days and in hindsight I'm realising once again how good the scene was from 1990-1994. Grunge gets its fair bit of getting shat on nowadays but fuck me 1990-1994 was exciting as fuck at the time.

What a band. I was looking through my CD's recently and there's a big section taken up by Killing Joke albums. They're in third place. First place goes to Motörhead, followed closely by The Fall.

Here's a link to The Death and Resurrection Show in case you haven't seen it:

Great watch.

There's a tune on Emperor's IX Equilibrium that has to use the For Whom The Bell Tolls bell for sure.

The bell at the start of Black Sabbath was also used by someone and I can't recall. Unless one is using a sound library, such sounds can be a nightmare to capture so pinching would save time.

Here's a question, found this metal hammer cutting in the sleeve of an old second hand record, the other side of is the corner of what would have been a No prayer for the dying poster. Anyone recognize what band these 2 are from? They look familiar but can't work it out 🤔

Might be one of the later lineups of Loudness?

[Trev]

Annihilator? Looks like Jeff Waters on the left
