Seminal postpunk band formed in Notting Hill in 1979 by Jaz Coleman, Geordie Walker, Youth and Paul Ferguson. Their dark experimental style provided both an alternative to the contemporary punk scene and the less aggressive sound of many other postpunk bands.
Massively influential on a range of different styles of music, they pioneered the industrial metal style with their album "Pandemonium" released in 1990.
Killing Joke's unique sound and fearless exploration of musical boundaries have solidified their place as one of the most important bands in alternative music history. With their thought-provoking lyrics and intense live performances, they continue to captivate audiences worldwide.

Spinefarm is a Finnish record label that was founded in 1990 by Riku Pääkkönen. Originally starting as a mailorder and distribution company for rock and metal releases, Spinefarm quickly expanded to release albums from Finnish metal bands. In 2002, Spinefarm became part of Universal Music when Universal Music Oy became the majority shareholder of Spin-Farm Oy, the record company that runs Spinefarm. In 2005, Universal bought the entire company and merged it with Universal Music Oy on December 31st, 2014.

Although founder Riku Pääkkönen left the company in 2011, he continued working on [l532289], a sub-label of Spinefarm. With two regional offices outside of Finland - Spinefarm UK in London and Spinefarm US in New York - they cover other territories through Caroline/Universal Music or local distribution partners.

Known for their expertise in distribution, Spinefarm has been credited under their name for various releases. With their rich history and strong ties to the metal music scene, Spinefarm remains an influential force within the industry.

The Lord of Chaos EP sees the original Killing Joke line-up delivering their first new material in seven years – a return to an earlier, punkier style, shot through with raw angst and documenting the turbulent times in which we now exist. As well as two brand new recordings, produced by the band and mixed by Tom Dalgety (Ghost, Pixies, etc.), the EP also features re-workings of two songs from the confrontational UK band’s last studio album, Pylon (2015); the songs in question are ‘Big Buzz’ and ‘Delete’, the former re-mixed by Dalgety and Nick Evans, and the latter getting the full Dub treatment from KJ’s Youth. The EP’s iconic Lord of Chaos artwork is provided by Mike Coles, responsible for some of the band’s most celebrated imagery.
