Until meeting at the funeral of Paul Raven, former bassist for Killing Joke as well as Ministry and Prong, Jaz Coleman and Paul Ferguson (drums) had not spoken for nearly 20 years.

Now the latest incarnation of the band - Coleman, Ferguson, Geordie Walker and Youth - will play the Wulfrun on Wednesday, March 14, 2012. Tickets priced £19.50 are available from Midland Box Office on 0870 320 7000 or online at www.wolvescivic.co.uk

The 80s saw Killing Joke incorporating danceable elements with aggressive, grinding guitars and thumping drums.

With elements of proto-techno rock, their post apocalyptic vision has inspired bands as diverse and influential as Nirvana, Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, Foo Fighters, Soundgarden and Godflesh.

Covered by Metallica, Foo Fighters and more, Killing Joke's place in rock history was confirmed in 2005 when they won Kerrang magazine's prestigious lifetime achievement award.

Killing Joke return with their eagerly anticipated new album to coincide with their world tour.
