Covered by Metallica, ripped off by Nirvana, remixed by Nine Inch Nails and handpicked as tour mates by TOOL, Killing Joke really might be your favorite band's favorite band. Today (March 10th), the industrial-metal and post-punk pioneers added another entry to their heralded catalog: the stand-alone single "Full Spectrum Dominance," released to mark this upcoming Sunday's sold-out headline show at London's iconic Royal Albert Hall. It's a hard-charging, urgent listen driven by a churning riff and frontman Jaz Coleman's sonorous croon. Listen above via the song's lyric video.
"Full Spectrum Dominance" was mixed by Tom Dalgety — known for his work with Ghost, Rammstein and the Pixies — and comes with a "Pure Trance Youth Dub Remix" courtesy of Killing Joke bassist Youth. You can stream that below.
The band's Royal Albert Hall gig is the first of a short run of dates that will see Killing Joke performing their first two albums, 1980's self titled debut and its follow-up, What's This for…!, in their entirety. Announcing the tour in June last year, Coleman said, "We are living in the most dangerous period in human history in which extinction from nuclear war could happen in the next 12 months. If we make it, then Killing Joke at the Albert hall in 2023 will give great meaning and comfort to all of us."
