 The German Zillo Musikmagazin features an interview with Jaz Coleman in their October issue. As for some years now, the magazine comes with a cd, and "ESS" has been selected. Not a big surprise as this is a gothic magazine.

Excerpt
KillingJoke – Human volcanoes

Killing Joke have been in existencefor over 30 years and never hushful even for a bit: for their new studio album"Absolute Dissent", the English post-punkers go back to the starteven with their original line-up. Yet, the singer Jaz Coleman’s current thoughtis oriented rather to a world revolution, as this becomes clear in the excitingtalk with Zillo. 

Jeremy "Jaz" Coleman’s persona is the one of a hurricane; his blastinglaughter shakes the walls. And his whisky and cigar smoke-sounding voice mouldssentences of steel. The singer is passionate about the matter and advocates hispolitical concerns with the same fury the new album does; the title of which ,“AbsoluteDissent”,  is absolutely programmatic. 
  

(...) 

"We are on fire ", Jaz  tellswith perceptible pride. "We could go to the studio every frigging day andrecord new songs right away. With the return of Paul Ferguson we are complete,and the chemistry among us simply works. I love 'Absolute Dissent' from startto end, which is something that I can’t say of all our albums, by any means. "The singers stresses that Killing Joke, as opposed to many other bands,  still create relevant music even after 31years. "It has been an incredible journey of a 17-year-oldamateur to the professional musician in his 50’s”, laughs the front man withhis sharply, scratching guttural voice "We were a bunch of losers without a qualification. KillingJoke is our university. We taught everything to ourselves."
