ORIGINAL LINE-UP OF KILLING JOKE PLAY 3 CLASSIC ALBUMS BACK TO BACK ON WORLD
TOUR AND RELEASE NEW ALBUM 

Finally, after numerous line-up changes through the years, all original
Killing Joke members reunite for new album and world tour.

Drummer, Paul Ferguson, rejoins the line up for the first time since 1987
enabling a whole new generation of fans to see Killing Joke’s legendary
original formation. Diehard fans have been waiting for this moment for two
decades!

Bassist, Martin ‘Youth’ Glover also steps back into the live arena after a
near 15yr hiatus, having not played live with Killing Joke since 1994’s
Pandemonium tour.

The tour will see Killing Joke take up a two night residency in most venues
offering a different set on each evening. On the first night, they will play
their first two albums in their entirety, 1980’s self-titled album followed
by the album ‘What’s This…For!’. Their second performance in each city will
treat fans to 1994’s Pandemonium and the Island Records singles of ’79 to
’80.

Once described by Ferguson as ‘the sound of the earth vomiting’, Killing
Joke is anthemic and grandiose in it’s evocation of nightmare visions.
Taking a sarcastic jab at authority and perceived reality to a sonically
charged mixture of post punk and metal, Killing Joke’s heavy guitars and
pounding tribal drums conjure a primitive atmosphere of doom, gloom and
resistance.

Notorious for their use of inflammatory imagery, a backlash against a world
they perceived as ever more materialistic, unjust and conservative, Killing
Joke, railed against the establishment and created a unique sound from their
very conception.

Ironically, in the current musical climate with it’s obsession with
rehashing eighties sounds, the 80s saw Killing Joke really pushing music
forward, incorporating danceable elements with aggressive, grinding guitars
and thumping drums. With elements of
proto-techno rock, their post apocalyptic vision has inspired bands as
diverse and influential as Nirvana, Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, Foo Fighters,
Soundgarden and Godflesh. Killing Joke have always been and continue to be
more than just a band.

Godfathers of post-punk, Killing Joke return with their eagerly anticipated
new album to coincide with their world tour. Album release date TBC.

"At last a ray of sunlight to illuminate these dark days. It is indeed my
deepest pleasure to announce the dates of the 29th anniversary of the
gathering. As usual we are never content sitting on the laurels of past
Glories, a new Killing Joke recording is scheduled this summer!. Both
Geordie and myself are thrilled as we hope you are with the line up, such
anticipation comes as no surprise considering we have not played together
since the Brighton Top Rank in 1982. We always knew this day would come
after all it was inevitable. We hope all gatherers will join us in warmly
welcoming back to active service our brothers Big Paul and Youth. The
mysterious chemistry of the original line up is back, let there be gladness
in your hearts." - Jaz
