Extremities, Dirt & Various Repressed Emotions released

For reasons that remain unclear, the German sessions were shelved and bass player Taif left the band. He was replaced by former member Paul Raven and the revised line-up began recording again, this time in London. The result was Killing Joke’s eighth album, Extremities, Dirt & Various Repressed Emotions , released on the German Noise International label in 1990. It marked a return to a heavier sound. ” Money Is Not Our God ” was the lead single. The band toured Europe and North America until unexpectedly disbanding again in mid-1991. Coleman emigrated to New Zealand to live on a remote Pacific island, and Killing Joke entered a hiatus.
