About
Killing Joke, Four decades of post-punk, industrial metal, and alternative sounds from London.
Killing Joke's catalog includes 17 vinyl releases across genres like alternative, dub, metal, and post-punk. The band’s sound evolved from goth-tinged post-punk origins to industrial and metal-inflected styles, reflected in albums released on labels such as Music On Vinyl, Spinefarm, and Cooking Vinyl.
Key records include their 1994 album Pandemonium, a milestone in industrial metal, available in original UK pressings on Butterfly Records and priced between €35 and €78. Their recent works, like Pylon (2015) and In Dub Rewind Vol II (2023), showcase continued experimentation with dub and electronic elements.
