Yes, one more post as part of the 'Pop Classics' but we know Killing Joke differently and their heavy and slow (at least early in their career) quasi-metal sound let many fans dancing to a tune of doom and gloom. They shine with driving songs that beam you into another dimension and initially sound very Punk. The band were formed 1979 in London by Jaz (vocals/keyboards), Geordie (guitats), Youth (bass), Paul (drums) and their style emerged from the PostPunk scene, but were characterized by their harder approach and have been cited as a key influence on industrial rock & with Love Like Blood they landed a real catchy tune and became attractive in the dull society. And since I'm a bad writer, here's a solid review: "It's been a devil of a time convincing some of this band's once-ardent fans that Killing Joke are back on track in a big way with Night Time, but the excellent selections for singles off the LP have been a help. "Kings and Queens" sounds like an air raid, with Geordie's gigantic guitar reverberation thundering in your ears and Jaz Coleman's full-throated hollering taking off like a firework on July 4; in fact, the whole thing feels a little like the sound you hear at the airport as you watch a jet take off, and the chorus feels like you're being led into the planet's final battle. It's great to have them back." (Jack Rabid) - In two hours it's versus RB Leipzig, three points are needed.
