Originally slated for a May 2nd release, What Records will now issue KILLING JOKE's new 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)
