It might be Killing Joke’s, but it’s not at all far removed from what you might expect by that description. It’s closer to The Cure than anything else, as though it were THE album they were meant to make but didn’t because they spent the mid ‘80s being quite, well, mid. I did play a few songs from this album to my friend yesternight and she thought it was them, and I’m sure I would’ve needed a few minutes to realise myself if I hadn’t known what I was listening to in advance. Basically, if you enjoy The Cure then you know what to do. Atkins continued with Walker, Raven and the band's live keyboard player, John Bechdel, as the short-lived Murder, Inc., recruiting Scottish vocalist Chris Connelly and reuniting with Ferguson as second drummer. In March 2022 the band released a new EP, Lord Of Chaos, their first new material for seven years. [58] Style and influences [ edit ]

ISBN 978-1912587407.The resulting album, Outside the Gate, released the following June, is Killing Joke's most controversial work to date due to its complex synth instrumentation and stylistic departure. [28] It entered the UK Albums Chart at number 92 and stayed for just one week. [29] No gigs were played in support of the album and it was not released in the USA. Virgin dropped the band two months later, by which time Coleman and Walker had become embroiled in a lengthy legal battle to extricate themselves from their contract with E.G. Revised line-up (1989–1991) [ edit ] After the death of Raven, the original line-up of Coleman, Youth, Walker and Ferguson reunited.

Of course, Killing Joke aren't really industrial music, but they knew this long before the tag hungry media of then (and now) tried to label them as such, and yes, of course we know the Killing Joke story to be one that unraveled that way eventually, but in the early 80's, the band had yet to take this course. Main man Jaz Coleman knew where to take his cues from, and in 1985 he used the new wave of Devo and combined it with the harsh unforgiving landscape around him, utilizing the industrial sounds of the bands previously mentioned.
