Coming to life during what would become known as the 'post-punk' era, Killing Joke were never willing to conform to the artistic restrictions of any particular scene or genre. Instead, they took a vast and bewildering array of influences and experience, and combined them to create something entirely unique and utterly timely that still stands up today.
12 albums later, the loss of a member (bassist Paul Raven in 2007) and a legion of bands that have cited Killing Joke as a major influence (Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana, and Ministry to name a few), Killing Joke is back with their first album of new material featuring the original line-up in 28 years.
