     Killing Joke Tour 
      Category: Music
      Honour the fire
      It is with great pain that the band have had to postpone the European and American tour until later in the year.
      We are 3 months overdue in delivering this album! I think it could very well be the greatest album we have ever made.
      The reasons why we are so over due are many...not least because we have so many contender tracks  and that they deserve the attention to detail that we are now giving them.We have survived equipment being hijacked ,tapes being withheld, nervous breakdowns, family bereavements, blood lettings  and a host of other challenges of biblical proportions and were still at the rock face as determined as ever to give it our best and every drop we have.
      reluctantly our managers and record company have persuaded us that it would be criminal to rush release a masterpiece and its really about getting it right. As i write we are still adding various overdubs and distilling down the mix to its definitive conclusion.She has been an ambitious album to manifest and we are now at the final ascent and i have to say its one of the greatest albums i have had the privilege to be involved with ...EVER!
      It is stunning!  I have been living and breathing it for over 4 months and i'm still jawdroppingly amazed at  its power and beauty ...its far out. Despite the frustration and inconvenience of having to wait for this and having to re-arrange the next few months  schedule to accommodate these changes ,I am  sure it will be worth it.Massive apologies to those who have rearrange their schedules and lives around this turn of events.
      I guarentee double orgasms all round when you hear  the sound of Big Paul's drum kit reducing your senses to a pulp.
      Today we were supposed to master it ,yesterday we had to postpone as we are still recording and mixing!!! 
      We have gone through so much to get here we have to see this through to the end.
      thanks for all the continued support and inspiration.

      I include a message from Paul on the bands behalf 
      Dear Friends and Family,


      It's with great reluctance I have to inform you all of our postponing the upcoming tour dates and  rescheduling of the album release.


      I am incredibly grateful to the The Gathering and fans for all their support and it pains me very much that things have unfolded as they have.


      We are all super excited about the recent recording and I personally am very proud to have had taken part and had so much input in this endeavour.


      We have all given our utmost to make this an album to be proud of and capture the best that is Killing Joke.


      Unforeseen circumstances have made meeting deadlines impossible and have let to this extremely hard decision.


      Of course all tickets will be honoured for the rescheduled shows in September and we look forward eagerly playing the new material to you.


      With Respect.


      Big Paul. KJ.
