Band,
Electronic and Rock
Following the troubled recording of Killing Joke's Extremities, Dirt And Various Repressed Emotions, Martin Atkins invited the other members, Geordie Walker and Paul Raven - excluding vocalist Jaz Coleman -, two former KJ members, 'Big' Paul Ferguson and John Bechdel, and Chris Connelly, with whom he'd worked as part of Ministry/Pigface, to join him and record an album for his Invisible label as Murder Inc. While much was made of the fact that the band featured two of the most renowned drummers of the post-punk scene playing together in one band, their output failed to set the world alight. The group gradually fell apart and Geordie began working with Youth and Coleman once more and recorded Pandemonium and Democracy with the reformed Killing Joke, before the band fell apart again. The Murder Inc. idea was partially revived in Atkin's The Damage Manual project, again featuring Connelly and Walker, a project that survived Walker's return, once again, to Killing Joke to record Killing Joke.
