Album Notes & Community Reviews

Smoothing their jagged, aggressive post-punk edges, Killing Joke embraced incredibly catchy, synthesizer-laced hooks and massive, arena-ready choruses on 'Night Time'. The album features the iconic, driving anthem 'Love Like Blood', perfectly blending Jaz Coleman's passionate, occult-tinged vocals with an intensely rhythmic, danceable new wave groove. It is a dark, highly energetic, and commercially triumphant gothic rock record.
