I first heard of the band Killing Joke in the 1980's, then again later when I was in the USAF. Mtv promoted their album Pandemonium whic has been a fav in its entirety since then. I like the industrial metal sound, the vocalist's melodic asphalt thing, and mostly the lyrics. Apparently there are several rumors about them being weaponized by nepotism, BUT so was Megadeath, and I don't care. Lately I lean towards Christian music. Thank you, Rob Halford.
Anyway, there's an ATS member with the name "I Am the Virus", and it reminded me of this lyrically contemplative rock band's song from seven years ago.



Here's a new one...Full Spectrum Dominance also with lyrics.



And this one is a fan-made video with a Killing Joke jingle titled, Light Bringer. The lyrics are in that pinned post.



Lift weights. Hit harder.

Great band, excellent live.
Jaz is literally mad as a box of frogs....but very intelligent and some really thought provoking lyrics.

My favourite Killing Joke track:

Saw them some time in the 80s but don't recall where or with which other band because I don't think I would have gone specifically for them. I do recall that it was a good gig.

Youth did some good remixes for Spiral Tribe and Dreadzone, amongst others.
I had assumed it was someone else named Youth but was surprised to learn that it was indeed the bass player from KJ.

Youth became a producer of quite an illustrious list of artists.

Jaz is also an accomplished and well respected composer of contemporary classical music....and some other weird #.
