Description
Released in March 1985, Killing Joke’s 'Night Time' captured the band at a pivotal moment, refining their raw post-punk aggression into a sound that balanced intensity with a newfound melodic edge. The result was an album that broke into international recognition, almost cracking the UK Top Ten, while retaining the driving force that had defined their earlier years. The band infused their industrial-tinged rhythms and apocalyptic atmosphere with soaring choruses, creating a record that felt both urgent and accessible. This duality gave 'Night Time' a freshness that set it apart, cementing its reputation as one of the group’s most impactful releases.
Anchored by the anthemic "Eighties," the album’s highlights also include the pulsing "Love Like Blood," a track that became a gothic rock touchstone, and the intense "Kings and Queens," balancing dystopian themes with unforgettable hooks. The controversy surrounding "Eighties" only added to the album’s mythology, with claims Nirvana had lifted its central riff for "Come As You Are." Regardless of debate, 'Night Time' stands as a defining statement of Killing Joke’s ability to merge dark atmospheres, relentless power, and undeniable anthemics into a work that bridged underground menace with broader appeal.
