> 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.
