Extremities, Dirt & Various Repressed Emotions is the ninth album of English post-punk group Killing Joke. This album features Martin Atkins (formerly of Public Image Ltd. and Brian Brain) on drums. The album also saw a return to a rawer, guitar-based sound from the keyboards of their previous album Outside the Gate, and it was perhaps the closest they had come to making a metal album. The riff from "Intravenous" would be reprised on 2006's "Majestic."
