Missing Witches

MW Killing Joke - We Must Dream Of Promised Lands

Episode Summary

Join me today, in tombs, in sweaty smoky clubs, LSD soaked recording studios, in a circle of magic that declares, ‘let success be your proof’. That place in the cosmos where Jaz Coleman’s vocals, and keyboards, Kevin “Geordie” Walker’s guitar, Martin “Youth” Glover’s bass and Paul Ferguson’s drums come together in sonic witchcraft that cast a spell on everyone who came after: from Nirvana and Soundgarden, to Metallica and Skinny Puppy, Ministry and Tool, to Nine Inch Nails all claiming Killing Joke as inspiration. Robert Smith of The Cure once described Killing Joke’s early records as “terrifying and beautiful.” Something that he channeled for his own music - and something we as Witches can relate to ourselves. The terrifying beauty that is Witch, that is truth. A beauty that can only be found beneath the shadows. Join me today to discover the profane and ritual history of Killing Joke. www.missingwitches.com/ep-280-mw-killing-joke-we-must-dream-of-promised-lands
