Thirty years after the release of their self titled debut and its equally good follow-up What's This For, despite being cited as an influence by everyone from Big Black to (old) Metallica, most would associate post-punk band Killing Joke and the influence they had being most prominently traceable in industrial rock acts. However in the mid to late eighties two excellent bands from vastly disparate genres took Killing Joke's aesthetic to new places, Legendary crust punks Amebix and psychedelic shoegazers Loop were musically worlds apart in the eighties and probably weren't even aware of each others existence but they definitely would've been able to share some records, namely Killing Joke's excellent first two albums.
