Jehovahkill

Jehovahkill is the eighth album by Julian Cope, released in 1992. After the critical success of Peggy Suicide, Cope's idea for Jehovakill was to incorporate a krautrock attitude into his music. He began recording the album with musicians Rooster Cosby and Donald Ross Skinner, while co-producing it with the latter. The sessions yielded what Cope considered to be his most sonically experimental material to date. Originally titling the record Julian H. Cope, he sent an eleven track version to Island Records, who initially rejected its release, but gave Cope extra recording sessions for the album. During the extra sessions, in which six extra songs were recorded, the album became harder and was retitled Jehovahkill. Inspired by prehistoric monuments, the album features ancient, pre-Christian heathen and pagan themes, while commenting on "the destructiveness of mainstream religion." The theme spread to the packaging, with the cover depicting the Callanish Stones, a site with a cruciform layout that predates Christ by at least 2,000 years. Musically, the album combines krautrock with a dark folk sound.
