Today’s video of the day is Killing Joke – "Unspeakable / Exit" released in 1981.

“Unspeakable / Exit” by Killing Joke captures the band at a vital moment. This fan-made video features their 1981 appearance on Belgium’s Generation 80. Though the band mimed the performance on TV, the creator synced it with stereo audio for a stronger impact. The final segment slows down dramatically, adding weight to “Exit” and enhancing the mood. Both tracks come from What’s THIS For…!, Killing Joke’s second album. Released in 1981, the album marked a shift toward heavier rhythms and deeper production. Jaz Coleman’s urgent vocals blend with Geordie Walker’s sharp guitar and Paul Ferguson’s tribal drumming. The band pushed their sound further than on their debut, adding more intensity and political focus.

What’s THIS For…! followed their self-titled debut in 1980. That first album introduced Killing Joke’s dark mix of punk, dub, and industrial. However, the second album sharpened that sound. “Unspeakable” and “Exit” highlight their growing confidence and experimental edge. These tracks show the band evolving, laying the groundwork for their future direction. Over the years, Killing Joke released over a dozen studio albums. Each project explored new textures—from coldwave electronics to metal-infused industrial rock. Yet What’s THIS For…! remains a fan favorite. It bridges the raw urgency of their early years with the sophistication of later work.

This video captures that unique energy. The synced stereo sound restores the full power of the tracks. Meanwhile, the vintage footage provides a raw, analog feel. The slow-motion ending leaves a lasting impression, emphasizing the tension and atmosphere that define Killing Joke’s early work. For longtime fans and new listeners alike, this clip is a glimpse into a pivotal time. It honors the band’s legacy while giving these songs a fresh visual twist.
