Today we're discussing the debut album by English post-punk band Killing Joke. Formed by Jaz Coleman, Paul Ferguson, Geordie Walker, and Youth, Killing Joke this early on were not only leagues above their peers in terms of technical skill, but in absolute chaos. Integral to the band's formation is their use of magic, and we're diving into all of it. This is the first episode in our Killing Joke discography series.
