In anticipation of their new album, Killing Joke play 11 shows in the UK, starting in Exeter, including London’s Roundhouse on March 8th and finishing in Oxford. The main support has been confirmed as Los Angeles quintet The Icarus Line.

 

According to Youth, their forthcoming album is both a reflection of the times plus a long look in the mirror…

“Cold austerity versus wild abandon seems to be an overall dynamic,” he explains, “with themes ranging from the times we are living in through to intense personal admissions, and lots of magic and alchemy and fierce politik…”

Youth goes onto to reveal other very exciting plans for Killing Joke this year…“Some are still secret and will be announced officially on the website. One I am closely involved with and getting closer to finishing is the Killing Joke In Dub album that will be available next year. It really is bone-crunchingly heavy!”

 

Along with performing songs from the forthcoming album, Killing Joke promise that “The set lists on these dates will form the most comprehensive career-spanning shows to date”.
