About £100 altogether. The chance you take sometimes. it does'nt dtract from what I personally feel about them though. I still think that they are an awesome band.

Has anyone else heard their new EP? It's called In Excelsis and it's pretty decent, but not as heavy as Hosannas From the Basement of Hell, still thought it's a great sneak peek at what their new album will sound like.

To be fair they have always criss crossed genres a bit and are not always heavy. I really like that though. Big Dub influence going on. What's the line up on the recording now that Raven has left us?

Just because they are an older band doesn't mean that they don't deserve a few more posts regarding their new album. Original line up (first time since 1982) sounding absolutely phenomenal. Metallica, Megadeth, Nine Inch Nails, Ministry,Napalm Death, Tool, Opeth, Faith No More, Godflesh and Foo Fighters (whether they are liked or not) all cite them as a massive influence on their music. From the new album. Not bad for a bunch of 50 year olds who have worked with everyone from David Gilmour, Paul McCartney, London Symphony Orchestra, to a whole host of musicians involved in the Pigface project; Trent Reznor, Danny Carery, Flea, Genesis P-Orridge, Dean Ween etc etc

I have to admit after giving it a few more listens I think it actually surpasses Hosannas From the Basement of Hell (2006) in terms of quality. I don't think there were any songs off it that I didn't like, and it was nice to hear that Jaz Coleman can still hit those notes, despite his age. It's also awesome to see a 30+ year old band that can still put out quality albums that far surpass everything they've ever inspired. If this album doesn't create some new Killing Joke fans then I doubt anything ever will.

Jackhammer: That song made me happier than almost all music that I've heard that was made in 2010. Fucking great

It took me a little while to get into Absolute Dissent, as is usually the case for me with KJ albums for whatever reason, but I'm really digging it. And even though I tend like KJ the best when they are at their loudest, I think my favorite tracks so far on this album are the two most low-key: "European Super State" and "Ghost of Ladbroke Grove".
