As much as we bitch, this will ultimately result in someone, somewhere actually buying a Killing Joke album.
"The Symphonic Nirvana" Set For Release September 2nd On 429 Records

















SANTA MONICA, Calif., April 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- 429 Records is gearing up for the release September 2nd
of The Symphonic Nirvana, the next in Jaz Coleman's symphonic works and
the Killing Joke legend's first in over 15 years. Following the
successes of Symphonic Music of the Rolling Stones, Us and Them:
Symphonic Pink Floyd, and Kashmir: Symphonic Led Zeppelin which all
reached #1 on Billboard's Classical Crossover Chart, the Nirvana project
is particularly close to Coleman's heart given the influence Killing
Joke had on Nirvana and their mutual appreciation (Dave Grohl played
drums on a 2003 Killing Joke release). The recording of the album will
take place in Russia at the legendary Mosfilm Studios and features the
Russian State Symphony Cinema Orchestra. An excerpt of "Lithium" was
debuted recently at the Dubai World Cup in front of 80,000 people by a
100 piece orchestra conducted by Jaz. 429 Records will release The
Symphonic Nirvana in advance of the premiere of the work's performance
at the Royal Albert Hall in London on October 17th (tickets are on sale April 25th).
Says
Jaz: "I am currently completing an epic symphonic arrangement of
Nirvana's music which is soon to be recorded with the Moscow State
Orchestra to mark the life and death of Kurt Cobain. After receiving a
Christmas card from Kurt in 1990 and recording with Dave Grohl in 2003,
scoring the work can be likened to a musical dialogue with a familiar
disincarnate spirit. It is not a religious work per se--the music of
Nirvana is superimposed over concepts such as the multiverse and quantum
immortality. It is a great honor to have this opportunity and
considering all the synchronicity and coincidences, I feel born for this
one."
Included in the project will be (more to come):
Smells Like Teen Spirit Lithium Heart Shaped Box Dumb Come As You Are Scentless ApprenticeFor more information visit: www.429records.com
