Biography

Following yet another temporary breakup in the early '90s, the members of the eternally volatile Killing Joke re-formed (minus vocalist Jaz Coleman) under the Murder Inc. banner. Including Revolting Cocks vocalist Chris Connelly, guitarist Geordie Walker, bassist Paul Raven, and drummers Paul Ferguson and Martin Atkins (ex-PiL), the band conspired to record 1992's eponymous LP for independent Invisible Records. Despite mixed response from critics and fans over the group's avant-garde alt-rock, a short bout of touring encouraged the band to carry on long enough to record the following year's Corpuscle EP. But Murder Inc. disintegrated as soon as a financially enticing recording contract for a newly re-formed Killing Joke hit the negotiating table, and 1999's Locate Subvert Terminate: The Complete Murder Inc. collection would serve as last will and testament to the band's brief existence. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide

Murder, Inc. was a short-lived industrial metal supergroup formed in 1991, featuring members of Killing Joke and vocalist Chris Connelly. Murder, Inc. consisted of Connelly; Killing Joke members Geordie Walker, Paul Raven, and Martin Atkins; former Killing Joke drummer "Big Paul" Ferguson; and Killing Joke live keyboardist John Bechdel. Unsurprisingly, Murder, Inc.'s musical style is quite similar to contemporaneous Killing Joke.

The group produced an eponymous album and an accompanying remix EP, Corpuscle, before disbanding. A compilation album, Locate Subvert Terminate, contains both of these releases, as well as several live recordings.

The band supported The Sisters of Mercy at a sold out Birmingham NEC on the 27th June 1992 where they suffered various technical problems.

Connelly, Atkins, and Walker later founded another industrial supergroup, The Damage Manual.
