The legendary Killing Joke will celebrate their fortieth anniversary this year. As with most other things they’ve approached, the anniversary isn’t being dealt with in a half-hearted manner.
There are a run of live dates, but perhaps just as exciting is the planned release of a career spanning box set, ‘Laugh At Your Peril’, available in both LP and CD formats and containing a world’s worth of bonus tracks.
The word “cinematic” often gets bandied around when it comes to industrial and electronic music. It was rarely more relevant, though, than as a suitable adjective for Swiss band H E X, who’ve mixed a heavy, post rock style with an epic, almost industrial sound on their new single ‘Collider’.
Do you like music with an eighties slant? Do you like synths? If the answer to either of those questions is yes, there’s a chance you’ll love this new single from Vandal Moon.
At the beginning of March 2018, Oslo trio Spielbergs released the first new music from their upcoming EP ‘Distant Star’. The track and new video blended melody and power in a hugely appealing and retro way, drawing the listener back to the 90s with a world of shimmering guitars.
The Fierce And The Dead will release their anticipated third album ‘The Euphoric’ via Bad Elephant Music on May 18th.
The build up to the album release has already been exciting. The band have had their first sold out London headliner, pre-orders for a 2CD deluxe version of the album have almost sold out and the video for the album’s first single – the heavy and immense ‘Truck’ – went viral.
