Love everything I've heard by them Just don't have time to get more into them

Jaz's late vocals are just so fucking CRUSHING. Okay, the old stuff is great too, but the late stuff is unbelievably heavy and badass for a band with such long career

I haven't even really listened to any of their more recent stuff. I probably should.

To be honest, I really liked one of the latest records, the eponymous one they did with Dave Grohl

say what you will about him, but I like him as a musician And he did good job on that album

Killing Joke is a real anomaly. They keep slaying, they are like nobody else, they use some instrumentation that on paper is like "whut?" but is incredible to the ears, they're old oddballs with fashion tastes and personal interests that are atypical for heavy edgy music, yet all of it adds up to a hell of a package. They really know how to work their gear and the recording process, and despite his ridiculous name, Jaz is one of the best vocalists of all time. Not Crap, zero waffle factor.

Correct, you should, Their latest is really good also, Killing Joke [the second one ] is rather good as well

Full disclosure: the only Killing Joke I listen to is their Canadian live record, which is fantastic.

Some of you might now know, but Jaz Coleman is also a classically trained violinist and composer. I mean, he's actually really good at that too and his output as a composer is probably even bigger than his output as a part of Killing Joke. Seriously, just check his wikipedia page to have an idea...

He notably made an album of Egyptian violin music in 1990 with Anne Dudley called Songs From The Victorious City that's just wonderful.
