[LONESTYLE at aol.com]

Personally we all know about their history... but what's up with the full  
tour is what I want to know, Are they coming to the USA in November? Next 
year?  What? I don't think I have ever held onto concert tickets for over  one 
year!

NEW STUDIO ALBUM ‘XIII: FEAST OF FOOLS’ RESCHEDULED  FOR SEPTEMBER 6th 
2010 VIA SPINEFARM RECORDS UK; ACCOMPANYING UK SHOWS  RESCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER…

WITH A reputation forged in fire,  brimstone and magic, Killing Joke have 
long been one of rock’s most iconic  & influential outfits.
Now, 30 years since first bonding in blood, the  original line-up of Jaz 
Coleman (vocals), Geordie (guitar), Youth (bass) and  Paul Ferguson (drums) 
are about to complete work on their 13th studio album,  the first fruits 
of a new worldwide deal with the Spinefarm Records label,  and word from 
inside the camp is that ‘XIII: Feast Of Fools’ is shaping up to  be something 
very special indeed…
“We have survived equipment being  hi-jacked, tapes being withheld, nervous 
breakdowns, family bereavements,  
blood lettings, and a host of other challenges of Biblical proportions,”  
comments Youth. “But we are now at the final ascent, and I have to say it’s  
one of the greatest albums I have ever had the privilege to be involved  
with…
EVER! I have been living and breathing it for over four months now,  and I’
m still jaw-droppingly amazed at its power & beauty. 
“It is with  great pain that we had to make the decision to postpone the 
European &  American tour until later in the year, but the wait will be worth 
it. I  guarantee double orgasms all round when you hear the sound of Big
Paul’s  drum kit reducing your senses to a pulp!”
Produced by the band, mixed by  engineer Clive Goddard, and now set for 
release on September 6th 2010, this  latest set of recordings – put together in 
London, Spain & Prague – has  seen the aforementioned musicians sharing 
studio space for the first time  in 28 years, having already road-tested 
their relationship with sold-out shows  around the world, kicking off in Tokyo 
last Autumn.

AS A RESULT of the  new album moving back to September, the band have also 
rescheduled their two  UK shows. The new dates are as follows:
October 2010
15  UK Picture House, Edinburgh 
16 UK Hammersmith Apollo, London 

OVER  THE years, the four musicians have chosen to develop their talents in 
a  variety of ways: triple Grammy winner Jaz Coleman, for instance, has  
established an international reputation working with some of the world’s  
greatest 
symphony orchestras, whilst Martin ‘Youth’ Glover has become one  of the UK
’s most celebrated producers, supervising albums from the Verve &  Primal 
Scream amongst others, as well as achieving major success as one half  
of highly-regarded duo, The Orb

Covered by Metallica, Foo Fighters  and more, Killing Joke’s apocalyptic 
vision continues to draw praise from such  high-profile supporters as Jimmy 
Page and Billy Corgan, and the band’s  considerable musical legacy can be 
heard 
in the works of Nirvana,  Ministry, Nine Inch Nails and the like – artists 
whose rise to fame never saw  them cutting ties with the 
underground/alternative scene.
Once described by  Paul Ferguson as ‘the sound of the earth vomiting’, 
Killing Joke are now  poised to take their music of resistance to a whole new 
level, both in the  studio and on the road.
As ever, the journey won’t be easily forgotten…  whether those involved 
wish to do so or not!
