{"product_id":"killing-joke-pylon","title":"Killing Joke - Pylon","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith a reputation forged in fire, brimstone and magic, plus a collective view of the world that seems increasingly prophetic, Killing Joke have long been one of rock's most iconic and influential names, with a string of revered recordings to their name. Their story (and it's an extraordinary one) dates back to 1978 and the post-punk scene of West London, where classically-trained musician and vocalist Jaz Coleman, drummer Big Paul Ferguson, bassist Youth and guitarist Geordie set about establishing a new and idiosyncratic manifesto for reinventing the rock 'n' roll wheel. Since 2009, when this original line-up re-entered the studio, Spinefarm Records has been the home for the band, releasing the 'Absolute Dissent' album in 2010, the 'MMXII' album in 2012 and the 'Singles Collection' in 2013; and now, in 2015, with the world descending ever further into chaos, comes 16th and latest studio outing, 'Pylon'.  As with all KJ releases, 'Pylon' isn't designed to accompany a quiet night at home; these 10 tracks (produced by the band and Tom Dalgety, whose recent credits include the hugely successful Royal Blood album) are very much music as ritual - raw, uncompromising and precisely-targeted lyrically. While other bands of a certain vintage may struggle to maintain their edge, Killing Joke are delivering the best and most relevant material of their career, with Geordie's eclectic guitar tones - delivered at arresting volume through a hollow-bodied Gibson ES-295 - continuing to define the black beating heart of the group.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"South Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":64322870051193,"sku":null,"price":16.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1463\/6153\/files\/killing-joke-pylon-south-records-ltd_b7ecec98-de9c-4f7f-ab1b-c2420f9d7554.jpg?v=1787903704","url":"https:\/\/vinyl-relic.com\/products\/killing-joke-pylon","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
