Fire Dances is the fourth studio album by English post-punk band Killing Joke, released on 15 July 1983 by E.G. via Polydor Records.[1] It was the band's first album to feature new bass player Paul Raven, recorded at Basing Street Studios in London between February and March 1983.[2] According to Paul Ferguson the band's drug use contributed to the original mix of the album being "tinny".[3]
Fire Dances was released in July 1983 by E.G. Records. It entered number 29 in the UK Albums Chart, on 23 July 1983.[4]
The album was remastered and reissued in 2008, with eight bonus tracks: the non-album single "Me or You?", an alternate version of "Dominator" (B-side to "Let's All Go (to the Fire Dances)"), an unreleased early version of "The Gathering" and four tracks from a John Peel session from 1983.
