Killing Joke Follow The Leaders T-Shirt Merch

Killing Joke is a British post-punk band formed in London in 1979. Renowned for their intense, experimental sound, they have been influential on numerous genres, including metal, industrial, and alternative rock. Their music is characterized by driving rhythms, dark and often apocalyptic lyrics, and the distinctive vocals of frontman Jaz Coleman.

The band’s name is a reference to Albert Camus’ novel “The Stranger,” in which the protagonist commits a senseless murder. This theme of absurdity and nihilism runs through much of their work. Killing Joke’s early albums, such as “Killing Joke” (1980) and “The Potentials” (1981), established them as pioneers of the post-punk scene. Their music was raw and uncompromising, with songs that often explored themes of social and political unrest.

In the 1980s, Killing Joke experimented with different styles, incorporating elements of industrial and metal into their sound. Their album “Brighter Than a Thousand Suns” (1985) is considered a landmark in industrial music. The band’s music became more aggressive and intense, with songs that explored themes of power, control, and the dangers of technology.

Killing Joke continued to evolve throughout their career, releasing a series of critically acclaimed albums. “Pandemonium” (1990) is another standout release, featuring a mix of heavy metal and industrial influences. The band’s music has always been characterized by its intensity and uncompromising nature.

In recent years, Killing Joke has experienced a resurgence in popularity. They have toured extensively and released new music, including the album “Purgatory” (2022). Their music continues to resonate with fans who appreciate their unique blend of punk, metal, and industrial influences.
