Killing Joke – I Am The Virus is a ferocious anthem that showcases the band’s trademark mix of industrial, post-punk and metal influences. Released in 2015 as part of their album Pylon, the track captures Killing Joke’s unrelenting energy and apocalyptic worldview, a hallmark of their career spanning decades.
Driven by Geordie Walker’s razor-sharp guitar riffs and Paul Ferguson’s thunderous drumming, the song barrels forward with an unstoppable force. Jaz Coleman’s guttural, impassioned vocals deliver scathing lyrics that critique societal decay, corruption and the destructive nature of humanity.
The chorus, with its chant-like intensity, makes the track an explosive rallying cry for rebellion. What makes I Am The Virus particularly compelling is its ability to remain both timeless and urgent. While deeply rooted in the sound Killing Joke helped pioneer, it resonates strongly with modern crises, blending anger and conviction into a blistering sonic attack.
For fans of aggressive, thought-provoking music, this track is a highlight in Killing Joke’s catalog and a testament to their enduring relevance and power. It’s a cathartic listen for anyone craving raw energy and unapologetic honesty.
