The 2003 'Killing Joke' album has been re-released. Their very first album from 1980 was also just called 'Killing Joke'. The 2003 release was the band's 11th studio album.
The 2003 album had Dave Ghrol on drums. Killing Joke were considering legal action against Nirvana , on the basis that 'Come As You Are ' from 1991 was rather too close to their track 'Eighties' . Dave Ghrol allegedly did not request any fee for playing on the 2003 album.
The 2003 album came out at the time of the invasion of Iraq, and was a blistering attack on George Bush and the US foreign policy at the time. There are some great tracks -
'Death and Resurrection Show', 'The House That Pain Built', and 'Dark Forces' .
