Killing Joke Announce “Lord of Chaos” EP Ahead of Spring UK Tour

For the first time since 2015’s Pylon, Killing Joke are gearing up to release new music. The long-running post-punk band have announced a four-track EP called Lord of Chaos, due out on the 25th of March, which features new mixes of “Big Buzz” and “Delete” (from Pylon), as well as two new songs: the title track “Lord of Chaos” and “Total”.

In the interim, Killing Joke’s members have been keeping busy: Youth collaborated on a dub remix project with anarcho-punk legends Crass; last March, Jaz Coleman and Geordie Walker unearthed 1993 recordings made with New Order’s Peter Hook, and released K÷93 (CADIZ Music). In October 2020 the band celebrated the 40th anniversary of their debut.

This new release will be followed by a UK spring tour featuring the classic Killing Joke line-up of  Jaz Coleman, Paul Ferguson, Geordie Walker, and Martin “Youth” Glover, as well as festival appearances this summer.  Killing Joke’s website has more ticket details for eager fans.
