[kj] OT: First speed metal track of all time

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

Oh and I think I have mentioned that by the strictest, technical 
definition, the title track of Hosannas from the Basements of Hell is a 
"d-beat" song.

I don't know whether that's to drummer Ben's credit, or Jaz's, or what. 
Ben seemed/seems like the kind of kid who'd be clued in to what's going 
on in crust-type modern diy punk circles, and Hosannas was recorded 
during the modern d-beat resurgence in Europe (like I said, 
Wolfbrigade's 2003 "D-Beat Odyssey" release, Avskum, Riistetyt, etc.) 
and when I heard Hosannas for the first time I was like, holy shit, 
Killing Joke have made a d-beat song. Which is when I signed on to this 
list and became everyone's favorite person here.
