Search - Killing Joke :: Hosannas from the Basement of Hell (IMPORT)

A Formidable Masterpiece

"I'm actually surprised that this album has received mostly good reviews here, as I didn't think so many would enjoy it as much as I do. Completely cleansed in extreme aural exorcism, KJ has blessed us with an undated (unlike their 2003 release) blast of pure tribal rock ecstatic angst. They have been attempting to achieve a shamanistic state through music for the last 30 years, and I would like to announce that they finally have!

Personally, I seek the types of recordings that make you wonder why you continue to do the daily commute to the office rather saying f@#% it all, and running away to some remote island to survive as a savage. If this album doesn't invoke such feelings within you, then you probably aren't even alive enough to be eaten by cannibals. You'll be one of the lucky ones who just dissolves away watching the evening news when the coming apocalypse hits. As for those of us who let this album take us where KJ intended, we'll be ruling the world!



Lift up your spirits!

"this album is brilliant. these guys never seem to get old. the energy and darkness never wane - their sound always evolving. any KJ fan will not be disappointed."
