Killing Joke are celebrating their 35th Anniversary in style with the release of a new video for ‘Corporate Elect’.
The track is taken from their latest studio album, ‘MMXII’, released last year. The video, conceived, filmed & directed by Mikee Goodman, is only the fourth official clip sanctioned by KJ in the past few years, following in the wake of ‘In Excelsis’, the animated ‘European Super State’ & ‘In Cythera’, clips in which the band have barely appeared.
Says Goodman:
“This video has been my biggest creative challenge yet. I had never previously met Jaz Coleman, but I was blown away by the powerful and passionate performance he delivered. I didn’t sleep properly for five weeks. Now I have, I have looked at it again with fresh eyes. And smiled. I was honoured to be asked to make a music video for Killing Joke, and so pleased to hear they liked it…”
Killing Joke are currently working on a new studio album, having signed a fresh deal with Spinefarm Records. It will be released early in 2014.
