Just a Brick in The Wall

Cue it up. Turn up your speakers. What do you hear?

Pink Floyd may have have SANG about being another brick in the wall, but Killing Joke make you FEEL it. That YOU are just a brick. Perhaps surrounded by other bricks? Hard to say. You feel alone. Cold. The only weight you feel is that of indifference as you go about your brickly existence.

Yikes! Well don’t get all depressed on me. It’s Christmas! Sing some Rudolph, grab yourself a nog and cue it up again. Now, what do you hear?

It’s metallic. I see a massive factory hammoring out rivet after rivet after rivet. BUT, the workers are all in rhythm. In a trance. It’s like they’re dancing as their hammering those rivets into the steel with sparks. And fire from the weld. And the hammers. Lots of hammers! Is this one of the first industrial metal albums?

They invented it, dude! Sheesh. Get a clue. BUT, it’s not your fault, really. Killing Joke never quite fit in, did they? Lost somewhere in the vast chasm between post-punk & metal. Humans are quite as fluid as they should be. We’re only too quick to categorize. Judge. Assign. Killing joke are Killing Joke. And they are, without a doubt, arguably the most underappreciated metal band of all time.

Long Live The Joke!

Ps. This is just as good as their self-titled debut. IN FACT, Their first FOUR albums are ALL industrial metal landmarks. Etch in your name now before it’s too late! [First added to this chart: 04/24/2020]

BLACKENED ALCHEMY (1982)

The leap from the distorted, bludgeoned Motorhead riffs on Welcome To Hell to the truly blackened, frosty atmospherics of Black Metal is nothing short of stunning in hindsight. The Motorhead influences have been mostly shed to create something completely new. Everything blends & bleeds together to create a thunderous cloud. The songs are better too. "Buried Alive" is told from a convincing, harrowing, & surprisingly emotive first-person point of view of that would make Johnny Cash proud. And that's like the fourth best song on the album! Diverse, bold, and original ( & even fun at times : see "Teachers Pet") Black Metal was a huge leap forward for both Venom and extreme metal. [First added to this chart: 03/20/2020]

Very nice. I ranked The Dreaming and Big science a little higher, but at least you got them. I keep hearing so much about orange juice but I'm not sure I've ever heard them. Or I just don't remember. I definitely have to check that one out.
