KILLING JOKE are to release their new album on April 2. It’s called MMXXII and will be on the Spinefarm label.

The album deals with the end of times, as we face predictions that 2012 will signal the end of the world. Says frontman Jaz Coleman:

“It’s in many different calendars – the great unveiling, the sky and the earth coming together. It’s a significant date. In the autumn, there is a major planetary alignment, and on that day I’m doing this rock festival, ‘A Party At The End of The Earth’, which is going to be in New Zealand.

Everything is speeding up. It’s not just our minds shrinking. We are heading towards the Eschaton and no-one really knows what’s going to happen.”

The full track listing is:

01. Pole Shift
02. Fema Camp
03. Rapture
04. Colony Collapse
05. Corporate Elect
06. In Cythera
07. Primobile
08. Glitch
09.T rance
10. On All Hallow’s Eve
 

There’s also a double coloured gatefold vinyl version of the album.
