Killing Joke's new single

2023-03-10 by Raul Stanciu STAFF | 22 Comments
Ahead of their sold out concert at Royal Albert Hall this weekend, Killing Joke released a brand new single, called "Full Spectrum Dominance". No other information was revealed regarding a new album, except for Jaz Coleman mentioning last year they are working on new material. More recently, the band reissued Hosannas From the Basements of Hell and made MMXII available on streaming sites.

Coleman also noted that "we are living in the most dangerous period in human history in which extinction from nuclear war could happen in the next twelve months. If we make it, then Killing Joke at the Albert hall in 2023 will give great meaning and comfort to all of us."

Listen to "Full Spectrum Dominance" below:

It's true... now more than ever, life is EXTREMELY Killing Joke-y.

I don't think I am ready, but geez I def know who they are. Not sure of a comparison but I umm I might be over selling something I didn't hear but I remember this bartender telling me about the dwarves, and I was all I am not sure if I am ready. Also I meant to pass out some hours ago and PC things happened.

I guess I just felt like Killing Joke was one of those bad ass bands you wouldn't tell everyone about. I'm tired and wanted to sleep earlier. But you usually don't go up to someone in public and say hey have you heard the latest *insert lesser known metal band here*

Never heard this band before now. I think i always assumed it was a thrash band for some reason. Any recommendations on where to start listening or should i just start from the beginning? Any advice would be much appreciated!

"killing joke" for the fierce post-punk
"night time" for the post-punk that actually makes it into the charts
"brighter than a thousand suns" for the goth

90s stuff for the industrial rock, couldn't name an album in particular

"90s stuff for the industrial rock, couldn't name an album in particular"

'Pandemonium' from 1994, IIRC, is great..

@MoM: I got into them through 2003's second s/t album. I consider myself lucky in that sense, as I still maintain that it's a fantastic record to be introduced with (and a fantastic record in general).

me too, though I haven't listened to their last two albums because I guess was getting the impression that I wouldn't love them as much

and yeah I'm cool with this song, but it does seem pretty par-for-the-course for them at this point...
the world better fucking end soon or boy is Jaz's face gonna be red

This band RULES above all others. Always amazing live. Over 60 years old and they barely take breath between songs for 90 minutes. Flawless every time. (They were a little bored opening for Tool) See them in a club show if you get the chance. Any musicians reading this may have the same experience seeing them, like ' Damn! We need to get our act together.' They are relentless and powerful live, like a freight train...except with synth harmonies.

Killing Joke - The Death And Rescurrection Show (Need For Speed Underground 2 Soundtrack)

Anyone else remembers the band from that game?
