KILLING JOKE: Killing Joke Vinyl LP
The legendary 1980 self-titled debut LP! This album is an absolute cornerstone of the post-punk and industrial movements, capturing the band's intense, self-produced sound that blended aggression with specific political and social anger.
Featuring powerful, genre-defining tracks like "Requiem," "Wardance," and "The Wait" (vicious enough for a Metallica cover!), this record is an uncompromising sonic statement that remains vital and influential today.
