42 Years of 'Revelations' by Killing Joke!

16th of July 2024, 00:00

This month, 42 years ago, Killing Joke released their third studio album Revelations (July 1982). It was recorded in Cologne, Germany and produced by Conny Plank, making it their first album not to be self-produced. This is also seemed to be their last album with the original line-up, featuring Youth on Bass, until Youth rejoined Killing Joke for their 2010 album Absolute Dissent.

At the time of its release the album got very mixed reviews, while some music critics rated it with 'only' 3 out of 5 stars, others gave it a full 5 out of 5 star rating.

Revelations reached number 12 in the UK Albums Chart.

Two singles were released from the album: 'Empire Song' and 'Chop-Chop'.
Funny fact, 'Empire Song' was performed on Top Of The Pops without singer Jas Coleman, who apparently had fled to Iceland in order to survive a potential nuclear world war
