Certainly one of the major influences of all industrial rock
and metal alike, Killing Joke has had a long and successful career. They were
one of the major influences in my favorite band of all time, Fear Factory,
which is what lead me to listen to this particular album. Some might call this
pseudo-metal, as there are certainly more elements of industrial rock on
display here, but it's a hard hitting album nonetheless. There are some tracks
that are more love them or leave them, but others songs like
"Asteroid" or "Implant" dial up a nice punch of metal
inspiring head banging. Although this release was well into Killing Joke's
career, I can easily see the affect they had on bands such as Fear Factory,
Nine Inch Nails and even Ministry.
Highlights: "Total Invasion",
"Asteroid", "Implant"
