New studio album from Jaz Coleman & Co (who are also celebrating 30th anniversary of their activity this year). Initially, it was supposed to be called “Feast Of Fools”, but that title was later discarded in favor of the current one. 2XCD deluxe edition of the album features a bonus disc called “Absolute Respect” with covers of KJ songs from the likes of Helmet, Metallica and Econoline Crush.

With a reputation forged in fire, brimstone and magic, KILLING JOKE has long been one of rock’s most iconic and influential outfits. Now, 30 years since first bonding in blood, the original lineup of Jaz Coleman (vocals), Geordie (guitar), Youth (bass) and Paul Ferguson (drums) is set to release its 13th studio album — the first fruits of a new worldwide deal with Spinefarm Records.
Due on November 16, “Absolute Dissent” found the aforementioned musicians sharing studio space for the first time in 27 years. The 12-track offering was engineered and mixed by Clive Goddard, and produced by the band. It will be released on various formats including CD, two-colored vinyl and a two-CD deluxe edition entitled “Absolute Respect” featuring a bonus disc with KILLING JOKE songs covered by METALLICA, AMEN, HELMET, ECONOLINE CRUSH, DEAD BY APRIL, THE MAD CAPSULE MARKETS, NOUVELLE VAGUE, FEAR FACTORY, FOO FIGHTERS and KOTITEOLLISUUS. – Blabbermouth
