Night Time
1985
EG
The inspired restart of Killing Joke in the years just prior to Night Time helped that album land perfectly in 1985, the aggressive kick which had driven the band’s work now integrated carefully into a slightly less forbidding, but no less intense, atmosphere that resulted in some notable chart hits. “Love Like Blood” was the standout there, the closest the group had yet come to a big warm hearted anthem, but it was the closing stomp “Eighties” which best captured their sense of protest edge as well as notably being a source of Nirvana’s own hit “Come As You Are.”
