Jaz is, indeed, like a "suffering God..."

And exactly how does one carry no Kashmir in Manchester?

An album in original cast so. After the death of bassist Paul Raven originators of punk KILLING JOKE to legend Jaz Coleman have taken on a lot. And one times beforehand: is managed with "Absolute Dissent" again a great album of the band. Jaz sings like a suffering God times almost casual positive, then again throaty blatantly as we love him, and that since decades.
Always been KILLING JOKE with accompanied beat, repeating passages played endlessly, but behind the wall of sound of small Earth human life played out, routine, but with ups and downs richly equipped. KILLING JOKE were always politically on the side of the oppressed; they are even today. And that is rare nowadays in the music business and gives nice advantages.
The opener "absolute dissent" a heavy Groover is unparalleled, superb! Typical themselves KILLING JOKE with verve trance. Jaz sings just indescribably committed, because the song is real times, alive, it was lived, loved, suffered. "The Great Cull" waiting with class chorus and fine tension in spite of everything einebnenden rhythm. "Fresh Fever From The Skies" might dancefloorkompatibel pale Düsterlinge, which will turn out in the course of the evening as not so dark, "In Excelsis" rebelliousness, reminiscent of the song structure and melody management early punk times, protest, from henceforth with robes and dogma to real life.
"European super State" plays with eighties pop, the Groove is dance fit for yet an optimal car song. And dark he sounds also, this catchy tune without parallel. First musical "this world hell" choppy the mutated then but excluded escape to a flowing monster which reaches all corners and recesses. Well that is KILLING JOKE not close post metal excursions. You could say it also different, of course. The band is always pioneer for such been music.
And again a great rhythm: marches "Endgame", the singing of Jaz here strongly reminiscent of Phil Lynott of THIN LIZZY. Our veteran sings "Engames…" fervently, gradually we must note that KILLING JOKE remain a class band. Although, we knew beforehand? This "class" applies to the British similar to like on fantastic colleagues the NEW MODEL ARMY. "The Raven King" shows again the gentle side of the band: This floating Ethereal melody line manages the combo with flying colors. A journey through time in the year 1982 compliant? Here it is. And our buddy Jaz has still a brilliant voice. How to do that only a life so hard? Perhaps precisely; It is him as jazz (with double Zett!) -Ladies at the advanced age whose vocals are refined by scars.
Wummernd bass, casual the singing almost optimistic, hopefully, psychedelic chorus, thats "Honour The Fire", a deja-vu: what were still times, philosophical speeches to the rolling, wrapped in fine cashmere, surrounded by supporting Mittelscheitel disciples, punks of the Bohemian. Gloom then in "Depthcharge", a little disturbing, these performances. Because it carries no Kashmir in Manchester and critical eyes amateur philosopher.
Quickly wearing glasses and workers close friendship, therefore down the stairs from the suburb Club our confidence: with "here comes the singularity" follows a dancefloorkompatibler hit for the late summer or early autumn, reconciliation in the noise. On the one hand the band remains true, on the other hand she integrated a bit modern vibes; Jaz and co. playing with different genres: so the reggae which indicated in the final "Ghosts Of Ladbroke Grove", but alienated. The song is instinctively easily; It songs full of rhythm and tension are KILLING JOKE to compose the monotony always stylistic device being, wanted, not weakness. And that the texts very imaginative and full political allusions and therefore are much better than 99% of the bands discussed here, actually extra mention must find. Punks not dead!
