KILLING JOKE frontman Jaz Coleman is featured in a new video interview with Rock Radio’s Tom Russell, conducted at this year's Sonisphere UK. In the video interview below, courtesy of RockAAA.com, Coleman talks about the bands new album and how it has been put together in synch with world events which he says will come to a head in 2012.

When asked if he seriously though the world would come to an end he offered the following:

“The 2012 album sounds a lot darker and heavier. We are so close to a huge event. A cataclysmic event on our planet that mankind is going to be in shock over. People feel something is afoot. I just try to capture these premonitions on a Killing Joke album. It’s (the new album) got more tension than the last album. It’s certainly darker. I don’t think the world will actually end, but the lives we’ve been accustomed to will come to an end. I think we are going to a cataclysmic period. Last year food prices went up 80%..."

As previously reported, What Records issued Killing Joke's six track EP, European Super State, on May 9th. It features the original Killing Joke line-up, reunited for the first time in almost 30 years, and was produced by Youth, one of the world’s most sought-after studio gurus.

The EP features bonus tracks that don’t appear on the bands latest full length album, Absolute Dissent, including remixes by Justin Broadrick (GODFLESH) and Youth. Other tracks have only previously been available digitally, and their inclusion here is a direct response to fan demand.

The tracklist is as follows:

'European Super State' (radio edit)

'Kali Yuga'

'Ghosts Of Ladbroke Grove' (dub)

'European Super State' (Youth remix)

'European Super State' (Dubstep mix)

'European Super State' (Justin Broadrick remix)
