Killing Joke
Lord of Chaos EP
(Spinefarm)
THE artwork and video for the new Killing Joke release is based around a childlike cowboy figure, his face a cross between the Milky Bar Kid, theatre puppet and world leader. Complete with Stetson hat, missile in hand plus bullet belt, staring straight at the viewer, smiling.
Surrounded by classical images, suggesting the four horsemen of the apocalypse, fires in hell and a celebration of renaissance painting. All blended elements filtered through a heightened technicolour prism.
