In celebration of their astounding 35th anniversary, KILLING JOKE unveils their latest video single, in the form of 'Corporate Elect'. The tune comes by way of the band’s MMXII full-length, released last year via Spinefarm Records, and serves as a taster of the band’s three-CD anthology — The Singles Collection 1979-2012.
Conceived, filmed and directed by Mikee Goodman, the video is only the fourth official clip sanctioned by the band in the past few years, following 'In Excelsis', the animated 'European Super State' and the 'In Cythera' clips in which the band have barely appeared.
Notes Goodman, former frontman of UK outfit SIKTH, one half of PRIMAL ROCK REBELLION (along with IRON MAIDEN guitarist, Adrian Smith), and now recording with new project, OUTPATIENTS: "This video has been my biggest creative challenge yet. I had never previously met Jaz Coleman, but was blown away by the powerful and passionate performance he delivered. I did not sleep properly for five weeks. Now I have, I have looked at it again with fresh eyes. And smiled. I was honored to be asked to make a music video for Killing Joke, and so pleased to hear they liked it."
Watch the new clip below:
Killing Joke's new set, The Singles Collection 1979 -2012, out this week on Spinefarm/Universal, captures their ever-evolving story with a series of dark, apocalyptic songs, they have successfully combined disco and funk and a shamanic wisdom with the dark side of the punk fall-out. Their influence has been enormous, with an unlikely roll-call of musicians taking their cues from the KJ catalogue – from NIRVANA to most modern American metal to many DJs and dance music mavericks… few, however, coming close to the band’s innate power.
The Singles Collection 1979 – 2012 is released on download, Limited Edition 3 CD, and Super Deluxe Edition. The album is streaming in it's entirety below:
