Murder Inc. (2)

Following the troubled recording of Killing Joke's 314202, 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 314042 and 169422 with the reformed Killing Joke, before the band fell apart again. The Murder Inc. idea was partially revived in Atkin's 167933 project, again featuring Connelly and Walker, a project that survived Walker's return, once again, to Killing Joke to record 218258.
