I always thought of Killing Joke more as pre-industrial than metal.

Great to see Killing Joke isstill out there, they never got the credit they deserve. THe first time I heard "Lynchpin" by Fear Factory, I thought KJ had a new single out.

I never thought of Killing Joke as being a stop in the history of metal, but I suppose it's fair comment. At any rate, in my book Killing Joke is a stop in the history of post-punk first and foremost, and perhaps for most, or at least many, other people--head off from KJ toward Big Black, go farther down/off the post-punk road toward the likes of Marilyn Manson, with stops in between for various Chicago and especially New York noise-you-can-dance-to bands from the early 1980s, and then you're really on target. Anyway, looking forward to hearing "Killing Joke" (the 2nd one) one of these days--the first three records have been favorites in my collection for (gasp) two decades now. Nice to hear the new disk is on par with the earlier things; looks like people who don't know the earlier things should check out this compilation disk.
