Brighter Than a Thousand Suns

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Killing Joke dramatically polished their aggressive post-punk sound on this release, fully embracing lush synthesizers and atmospheric new wave production. Jaz Coleman's booming vocals guide a collection of deeply melancholic, politically conscious tracks that explore cold war paranoia and romantic despair. The album is a dark, highly melodic, and ethereal pivot that polarized early fans while expanding their sonic architecture.
