Killing Joke have announced that their ‘In Excelsis’ EP, featuring brand new material, will be released on 21 June 2010 via Spinefarm Records UK, with an eagerly awaited full-length studio album, ‘XIII: Feast Of Fools’, following soon after on 6 September
…
Entitled the ‘In Excelsis’ EP, the first of their latest releases will be exclusively available as a double coloured vinyl 10” from online UK retailer What Records; a CD version of the EP – complete with bonus dub remix – will also be included with the package, and there will be a separate digital format, too. If you’re partial to purchasing via iTunes, the latter will come complete with a short protest film titled ‘Urban Primitive’, filmed by KJ bassist Youth back in 2004, which shows the award-winning producer as he creates a spontaneous work of art somewhere on the banks of the river Thames. The soundbed to the film is a Justin Broadrick (Godflesh) remix of one of the band’s new tracks.
…
The full list of tracks spread across the formats is as follows: ‘In Excelsis’ | ‘Endgame’ | ‘Kali Yuga’ | ‘Ghost Of Ladbroke Grove’ | ‘Ghost Of Ladbroke Grove’ (Dub Remix by Clive Goddard) (bonus CD track)
…
All of these tracks are taken from the sessions for the forthcoming Killing Joke album ‘XIII: Feast Of Fools’, but it has yet to be decided whether they will feature in the final tracklisting.‘XIII: Feast Of Fools’ has been produced by the band and Youth and engineered/mixed by Clive Goddard at studios in London, Prague and Spain; Clive Goddard has worked with Youth on a number of high-profile projects. ‘XIII: Feast Of Fools’ marks the 30th Anniversary for Killing Joke, and is the first time the original line-up has worked together in 28 years.
…
And if that wasn’t enough, two UK shows are already lined up for October 2010: 15 October, Picture House, Edinburgh and 16 October, Hammersmith Apollo, London
