KILLING JOKE 'PANDEMONIUM' 2LP - CLEAR BLUE

Killing Joke’s ninth album and first after a four-year hiatus is an amalgamation of everything the band had done well up until that point. From propulsive dancefloor bangers like “Exorcism,” industrial-metal stompers like “Millenium” and more hypnotic cuts like “Communion,” Pandemonium lands somewhere between the freaky art-punk of Suicide and the nightmarish soundscapes of Nine Inch Nails. The perfect soundtrack for wild night in, our vinyl copy comes on a “Blue/Clear” wax that pairs nicely with the record’s icy cover art.
