  4. 🇬🇧 Killing Joke "Ha! Killing Joke Live" – 1982

    A ferocious live EP capturing the band at peak intensity at the legendary The Venue in London. The recording is deliberately unpolished, preserving the chaotic energy of the moment with Jaz Coleman’s vocals cutting through the dense rhythm section with manic urgency...

  5. 🇬🇧 Killing Joke "What’s THIS For…!" – 1981

    A fierce and hypnotic second album that deepens the band’s distinctive blend of tribal rhythms, abrasive guitar textures, and apocalyptic atmosphere.
    Jaz Coleman’s intense vocal delivery adds urgency and ideological weight. A defining document of the early 80s underground...

  7. KILLING JOKE Release ‘Extremities!’ – A Compilation Of Rarities And The Steve Albini Sessions

    A journey into the raw and visceral origins: from the demo sessions mixed by Steve Albini to the night of the very first secret show on December 20th, 1988. In the heart of Chicago, Geordie and Martin Atkins turned frustration and distance into pure creative energy, recording the now-legendary “Black Cassette” demos at Albini’s house. Distorted, menacing bass lines, unruly oscillators, and Albini running endlessly up and down the stairs between the basement drum room and the pantry control room defined a sound that was brutally direct and uncompromising. The first interactions with the Yamaha drum machine foreshadowed elements that would later shape parts of the album. Those sessions sparked essential ideas, while the future studio — purchased from Steve and moved to Wabash Ave — would soon become the core of Invisible Records and Killing Joke’s operations.

    On the other side, a truly rare document: excerpts from Martin Atkins’s very first show with the band, at Burberries in Birmingham on December 20th, 1988. In a small, mirror-lined club filled with tension, adrenaline, and inevitable collisions with the walls, Extremities, The Fanatic, Intravenous, and The Beautiful Dead were performed publicly for the first time. It was the night when everything ignited: the blast beat still in its embryonic stage, the controlled fury Geordie demanded — “can you go a bit more Moonie on it?” — and above all Jaz’s theatrical yet strikingly genuine laughter. Not just joy, but a declaration: a giant “f*ck off” to the doubters and a prelude of what was about to come. A raw, essential, indispensable testimony: the birth of an era.

    This is a really cool one with a great chorus and which is not actually from Obsolete, Demanufacture nor Digimortal.

    It's a Killing Joke cover.

  12. 🇬🇧 Killing Joke "Turn to Red 2020" – 2020

    For lack of a better. A sharp return to their earliest manifesto. This re-recorded and reinterpreted version of the 1979 debut EP channels the same raw tension and militant pulse, but with the weight and precision of decades behind it...
