The new album, ‘MMXII’ is released on April 2nd 2012. You can PRE-ORDER THE RECORD HERE.

‘MMXII’ is an end-of-time album that somehow finds moments of optimism in the downward swirl of the planet. Finding hope in the apocalypse. This album just could be the Killing Joke masterpiece.

When the original line-up of Jaz Coleman, Geordie, Youth and Big Paul reconvened in 2008 after working together intermittently, that strange voodoo once again filled the room. Individually, they have a power, but together they have something sulphurous and strong that few bands can match. Killing Joke are not an average band with an average agenda; they lock the door and let the ritual commence, and ‘MMXII’ is the result.

GET THE RECORD…
