Color Of Vinyl Subject To Change Without Notice / Call To Confirm Colored Copies Are Still Available

With a reputation forged in fire, brimstone and magic, plus a collective view of the world that seems increasingly prophetic, Killing Joke have long been one of rock's most iconic and influential names, with a string of revered recordings to their name. Their story dates back to 1978 and the post-punk scene of West London, where classically-trained musician and vocalist Jaz Coleman, drummer Big Paul Ferguson, bassist Youth and guitarist Geordie set about establishing a new and idiosyncratic manifesto for reinventing the rock ‘n' roll wheel. Famously described as "the sound of the earth vomiting," Killing Joke continue to be a punishing antidote to mainstream music and corporate life. Killing Joke – their classic 1980 debut album featuring such key tracks as ‘"Requiem," "Wardance" and "The Wait" (covered by Metallica in 1987) - is reissued here on remastered colored vinyl LP courtesy of Spinefarm Records. The gatefold artwork has been lovingly recreated by original designer Mike Coles, the sole addition being a striking silver pantone on the sleeve.
