Absolute Dissent is the thirteenth studio album by English rock band Killing Joke. It was released on 27 September 2010 by record labels Spinefarm and Universal. It represents the first studio album and the second recording—it was preceded by the In Excelsis EP on July 2010—in twenty-eight years from the band's original line-up of Jaz Coleman (vocals), Kevin "Geordie" Walker (guitar), Martin "Youth" Glover (bass guitar) and Paul Ferguson (drums). Absolute Dissent was engineered and mixed by Clive Goddard, and produced by the band.
The album was released on various formats including CD, double coloured vinyl and a two-disc deluxe edition featuring a bonus disc entitled Absolute Respect containing cover versions of Killing Joke songs by Metallica, Amen, Helmet, Econoline Crush, Dead by April, Nine Inch Nails, The Mad Capsule Markets, Nouvelle Vague, Fear Factory, Foo Fighters and Kotiteollisuus.
After meeting up on October 2007 at Paul Raven's funeral and the intimations of mortality that Raven's passing gave to them, the original line-up of Killing Joke formed by Jaz Coleman, Geordie Walker, Youth, and Paul Ferguson decided to work together again as a unit and to record together for the first time since 1982.
