Killing Joke: “Full Spectrum Dominance” (2023)

I will say that Killing Joke is one of the few enduring artists / bands out there who only get stronger and tougher with each album (see Ministry, Curse Mackey, and Unsane). There’s absolutely no slowing down on their part. Your Messiah Jaz Coleman and Company came to remind you that they never lost it. Fans got an exciting surprise when Killing Joke’s latest orphan single “Full Spectrum Dominance” dropped ahead of them performing their debut album and What’s This For...! at London’s Royal Albert Hall earlier this month. They never deserted their social and world politics behind and this is no different, helping them stay relevant all this time. They never deserted their talented chops, either, as the UK collective rides smoothly to victory once again. Jaz’ vocals stay dead-focused straight-ahead and fly far with Geordie’s strings howling along for the ride and Youth’s bass always putting pressure on their target. Big Paul Ferguson never misfires and lends “Full Spectrum Dominance” its speed, aggression, and tension. Consider this a continuation of last year’s Lords Of Chaos e.p. and hopefully all roads lead to a new album.

One in The Fireman is a familiar name. Martin Glover is the person we have actually noticed in these parts before – he appeared under his nickname Youth –, since he's he's many things, including being a co-founder of Killing Joke. The latter are one of the most important bands in the idiom of post-punk, we could call them an important milestone in the genre. However, their early pieces with Glover – he did return to them much later on – present a group that looks at their elements and try to make sense of them. Of course, this could mean they were amateurs, yet they were the pioneers – some do conflate the two terms –, which meant they were willing to try being stranger than the style would've allowed later on.
