The goth/industrial/hard rock outfit has aquired near legendary status after years of hard work and have a legion of famous fans, as well as shared band members with metal band Prong and The Orb. Their debut release is often cited as a major influence and having a pioneering sound. While the cold mechanical feel and influence of 1979’s ‘Killing Joke’ can be heard on hundreds of albums, very few – perhaps none – sounded like it prior to its release.
