- Murder, Inc. (band)
-
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 NEC on the 27 June 1992, where they suffered various technical problems.
Connelly, Atkins, and Walker later founded another industrial supergroup, The Damage Manual.
