Killing Joke - Fire Dances (1983)

In 1982, Killing Joke almost split up because their lead singer, Jaz Coleman started reading stuff related to occultism and Aleister Crowley. I don't know what's up with rock stars and Crowley's philosophy, but the two always find a way to get together.

Anyways, Jaz Coleman got convinced that the apocalypse was coming really fast and he disappeared to Iceland, where - he thought - he would be safe, because it is written in the Bible: "And then the Judgement Day shall come - and no creature shall receive My mercy. Pain shall be spread all around the earth. Except in Iceland, of course, who I like so much."

Waiting for the apocalypse is quite boring, though. So the rest of the band decided to fly to Iceland too and record a tribal post-punk album drenched in communist lyrics and great guitarwork. And It's darn good.
