It follows Czech journalist Jana Trzilova's investigation into the turbulent musical history of the band that influenced Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails, Metallica, Soundgarden, Korn, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, Faith No More, The Cult and many more. Jana follows the trail of Killing Joke and charismatic frontman Jaz Coleman from Czechoslavakia to Iona and on to Glastonbury Tor, Egypt, Iceland, the Nazca Lines in Peru and New Zealand. Discovering a web of mysticism, numerology, white heat experiments, a recording session in the heart of the Great Pyramid, occult rituals and prophecy she discovers more than she ever imagined.






Killing Joke last October put on one of the best shows I've ever been to. It was the whole original lineup, they played everything from "Turn To Red" to "Love Like Blood" to "Asteroid" to "Money's Not Our God" and even a new song. I think they were on stage for close to two hours.
I'll definitely be picking this up. Every story I've heard and interview I've read with Jaz makes him seem like a completely fascinating nut.
