Killing Joke - 'Absolute Dissent' (2010)

British post-punk legends Killing Joke return with their 14th studio album, fittingly entitled Absolute Dissent. Written and recorded over the course of two years in London, Spain and Prague, the album is the first since 1982 to incorporate the full original lineup of the band.
Overall, this is a greatly rewarding listen, and is the most complete record the band have released for a long time. The sound of the band has been distilled down to a tight and polished form of post-punk/industrial crossover that is as potent as anything currently being released. Coleman once again shows his versatility in terms of both songwriting and vocals, and he is ably backed by his cohorts throughout the record. Approaching controversial subjects such as population control, chemtrails, microchipping of the world's population and bioterrorism, Coleman's lyrics are fascinating as always, and he remains one of the few truly enigmatic and captivating frontmen in the world of modern music. More than anything else, Absolute Dissent highlights exactly why Killing Joke remain so culturally relevant after over 30 years – far from being content to rest on their laurels, they continue to explore territory far beyond almost any other band today.
Presented here as the double-CD deluxe edition which includes a bonus disc entitled Absolute Respect of cover versions of Killing Joke songs by Metallica, Amen, Helmet, Econoline Crush, Dead by April, Nine Inch Nails, The Mad Capsule Markets, Nouvelle Vague, Fear Factory, Foo Fighters and Kotiteollisuus.
