KILLING JOKE "Hosannas From The Basements Of Hell" (HD) Official Video

After the devastating news from the weekend I'm bingeing on Killing Joke with tears in my eyes. Rest in peace big man.

[@rokarz76]

Why am I just now discovering this band in 2022? This band kept a constant 20 years ahead of all other bands musically, and lyrically. Great fucking band!!!!

Fucking strap in man🤙

enjoy the new/ (old) frontiers!!!! .... get this full album - hosannas FOR SURE .... + their first KJ self titled & ... their 2nd KJ self titled + many more .. & don't forget their #1 hit - Love like Blood .... & Seeing Red - as an homage to their departed bassist (Al Jourgenson of Ministry used song this in gushing praise of him)

[@yaueue]

Yes It is, I discovered this band in 1987.

[@midnighttrain7844]

yeah they are always ahead of the time even in the 80s and 2000s lol so advanced

[@Eathshod]

I've seen hundreds of concerts in my over 30 years of rock-show going. Killing Joke remains one of the all-time best. Without seeing them live, you really can't understand just how much raw power they channel and release. Amazing.

[@Mattalica-ss9pj]

When we went to see them on their "Greatest Hits" tour (that's not what it was really called, but I don't know what to call it), my wife - who was a fan of the music, but didn't know anything about the band - turned to me after a couple of songs and said "Damn, the singer looks insane!" To which I replied: "Well... let's just say you're not really wrong."

[@unixfreak]

replying to you 9 years later (if your'e still there lol), but oh damn i agree. Managed to see them play at the Fleece in Bristol (iirc 2014), and it was a relatively small venue with maybe 300 capacity(?) but the only time i've seen them, yet it was like... i was under the influence of magic mushrooms, despite being sober whilst seeing them play live lol. They are totally on another level when it comes to communicating ideas through music.

[@MrMisanthrope84]

Always end up comng back to Killing Joke and falling in love all over again. What's mental is that their songs have been proven to be very prescient especially in recent years which gives their entire back catalogue a new lease of life. Probably dismissed as conspiracy theorists like many were in the 80s, 90s and 00s but proven right in the end. They're one of the most under-rated bands of all time.

[@romanbrandle319]

The Jaz Coleman prophecies have come true , Killing Joke fans knew that . And originality is often under-rated , not everyone can understand their genius .

I wish I was stoned when I say "this is probably the best (and certainly MOST influential) band that I have EVER heard in 52 years of loving the heavy". But I am not. And they are just as good. They emit so many creative channels that they have spawned almost everything we consider new and original. Killing Joke is NO joke. But they do kill, every time. By FAR the most under-rated group of amazing musicians to stick it out for over 40 years. LISTEN TO MORE KILLING JOKE!

I only learned about this band from watching them with Tool. They were very dynamic and super fucking heavy. Hearing their music from the 80s juxtaposed with this is really fascinating. Both have elements I can really appreciate, especially the heavier stuff. Happy to be a new fan and explore them further.

[@CrabTastingMan]

The more I see the vid I laugh at how.... CUTE, Jaz is in comparison with the entire video. I like how he's not dressed in spiked leather like you'd expect in these atmospheres, but like some stockyard workman. He's the only guy with all the exaggerated actions, the walking, the histrionic begging to the skies during chopping organs while singing "I'm not a murder yet!" looks like a penitent naive boy. In light of all this his face paint makes him reminiscent of a clown toned down just right.

[@blackmore4]

He's a loveable west country eccentric. "Cute" is a good description. Also, my mum knows his aunty. Which, for me, kind of adds to his cosiness! Haha.

A lot of commenters are really interested in KG's music, their imagery, their energy. I ask that maybe if you really want to understand, then read these cover to cover: Three Books of Occult Philosophy, Agrippa. Magick without Tears, Regardie. Book Four, Crowley. In the video, the magician's alter has the traditional chalice, sword, book, disk, and wand (bone) or Hermetic Magick. This is not some random stage dressing to "look cool."

[@dodibenabba1378]

....there is no magick without tears.....

[@jonsilence]

The need for occult trappings & accoutrements ---whether you're Jaz Coleman, Robert Fripp, a member of TOOL, or an anonymous whoever--is based upon individual belief and understanding. If you think you need the trappings & accoutrements, proceed. But there is a place of understanding where the ONLY thing you need is your awareness and your individual will.

Cut to L.A., later that decade: As a street-urchin, 1st-time mother w/issues out the wazoo, I begrudgingly sell said tee to Dave's Records in Glendale. Ripped my heart out to later spy some kid wearing it around town, all cut up and stitched onto the back of his jacket. I'd see KJ again in S.F. & D.C., but I still miss that tee.

[@KrwiomoczBogurodzicy]

[@arthursimsa9005]

It's difficult to beat Ulver in this regard. They went from black metal to some sort of extremely avant-garde electronica.

[@AnthonyRosas]

You could arguably state that time has caught up to their heavy guitar synth sound. They were way ahead of their time.

[@Kubaz1000]

They are definitely champions in category: uncredited influence on other acclaimed bands. Said Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, some songs of Fear Factory, sound of nu-metal...bah! Even their controversial "Brighter than the thousand suns" made it's mark on synth-pop/ electronic bands of newer generations.

[@isabellaroman1681]

Holy crap, Mr. Coleman...you're insane! Brilliant as always...but totally insane! I'm not a fan of the majority of their newer music, for me the old stuff is where it's at, but I like this song. Definitely industrial metal I'd say. I like Rob Zombie and Marilyn so...this is pretty good. Enough said.They're still a powerhouse of a band after all these years, and isn't that what really matters? I think yes.

[@alexstone6330]

Hmm, okay, to each their own, but, personally, I think they've gotten better and better over the years. Mr. Coleman and the rest of the band feel as though they have too, according to interviews. Don't get me wrong, I *love* their old stuff, "The Wait", "Requiem", "Complications", "The Fall of Because", etc...but their later stuff is unreal...I guess it comes down to personal preference, but "Big Buzz", "Hosannas", "Euphoria", "Pole Shift", "Fema Camp", "In Cythera", "On All Hallows Eve", "Penny Drops", stands up to anything they've ever done in the past. I agree with you that they're not only still a powerhouse band, but to be going so strong - and in my opinion, getting stronger after so many years, is pretty amazing.

[@soundgardener4940]

Incredibly influential on the whole Seattle / Northwestern / Indie / Grunge scene esp. SOUNDGARDEN and NIRVANA. One of these days I'll collate all the quotes & sources I have on the above; it's rather astonishing. Kurt Cobain (KC:33) and Chris Cornell (CC:33) were both HUGE Killing Joke nuts (as was I...) Unfortunately, the longer I listen, the more obvious the red & black satanic imagery stands out, (& irks...), as do some of the dodgy lyrics (Wilful Days, Exorcism...). Even in The Raven King: _"Let flags of red and black unfurl..."_ - YEAH, NAH, BRO ;) Shame, really; Jaz said he's embarassed by some of the things he said when he was young, and has turned his back on his Rosicrutian history / membership (?)...we'll have to wait and see I guess. Wanking on about Morgellons (Auckland, 2015) doesn't say five eighth's of fuck all, other than he's either a bullshit artist or needs to brush up on the effects of STATIC ELECTRICITY...FFS (numpty). KJ's close ties to Paul McCartney, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin (amongst others) would seem to belie the 'grassroots dole-bludging punk' narrative, too. Youth got into fine 666 & devil's horns flipping form when interviewed with McCarthy for The Fireman (doens't sound like a reference to SATAN at all...) Then there's: Jaz's knighthood in France Big Paul's Rothschild clients Jaz's stogie-chewing big-noting bullshit about being treated like royalty from the moment he hits Heathrow Youth: Grand Druid Jaz: Rosicrutian Geordie: Gemetria Big Paul: obviously some occult background (the apocryphal KJ-band member summoning fire ritual) PS: Whaddaya think Youff's SUN VISOR signifies...and correct me if I'm wrong, but Martin "Youth" G-Lover - er...dodgy?

[@WilliamTyndale1]

Of a surety, age is no ally to the moshing skull. You see a stiffening of the old neck in the geriatric thrash set, whereas, in younger days, the skull swung wildly upon the pivots like a hammer pounding nails. Old brain marinating in the cranial juice gets to sloshing about like a pile of old shoe leather in a rusty bucket straining at the stem barely tethering it to the plates, and the next thing you know you're waking up under the foggy lights muttering algebraic equations in an unknown tongue. Heck, look no further than the Ozman. One minute you're eating the heads off live vermin, the next you're bouncing giddily in place like an old grandmama hoping your wig stays glued on lest the gerbil falls off its wheel and escapes through your earhole. Jaz might be riding the Hades highway in bidnis class, but I always apprecheeated the fact that he was honest about it. No sugar-coating here. Just wide-eyed, rebellious angst to the bitter end stuck between philosophical reverie and a nihilistic streak he could neither omit nor fully commit to. A man whose brutal sonic scapes reflected an unrelenting admission none of the realists could or can shake that frog will indeed boil, yet holding out to hope in the last fleeting notes (not here but by the end of the album), like the most optimistic Bobby Blueskies, that a bright new dawn will shine on the fortunate daughters and sons of a distant eon he wishes desperately to in some small way facilitate. Such a dichotomy of the soul so aptly expressed in the lyrics, "Anger that poisons my heart eating your liver and heart like voodoo just play until you bleed lost in the noise i am free i'm not a murderer yet i'm not a murderer yet" Is this not a poignant expression of the refrain of hell throughout eternity? The man from Galilee said if you hate on someone in your heart you ARE essentially a murderer. But we want to medicate the poison without plucking out and cutting off the root. Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven, but as much as we think losing ourselves in this noise makes us free, we are surely the slaves of the cruelest of tyrants. The conundrum the vain intellect stumbles on is that the only path to true freedom there is in this life is voluntary slavery to a perfect master, and there is only ONE Perfect Master. God who forgives sinners because of what Jesus Christ did dying for our sins at Calvary to pay the sin debt we could in no way pay, freely offers salvation to even the lowliest of wretches such as I. And the truly mind-boggling thing is that when we submit our lives to our Creator and only possible Savior, He takes us in, not as slaves but as daughters and sons. I can attest to this for over four years now. This is the meaning of life. This is NOT a promise of a rose garden (in certain ways your life may indeed become harder and the spiritual battles more intense--- but it's worth it, it is definitely worth it), but it IS the release from the burden of bitterness rage and torment many of us were/are under in this fallen world. Don't put it off. Eternity awaits. The choice is between all that is Love, Light and Life and their derivatives: eternal hatred, darkness and death. God sets a choice before each of us, choice and consequence, blessing and cursing, life and death, and tells us to choose life because He loves each and every one of us.
