Killing Joke are an English rock band formed in Cheltenham, England, in 1979 by Jaz Coleman (vocals, keyboards), Paul Ferguson (drums), Geordie Walker (guitar) and Youth (bass). After the release of Revelations in 1982, bassist Youth was replaced by Paul Raven. Following Raven’s sudden death in 2007, all four founding members returned to the band’s lineup the following year. Coleman and Walker were the only constant members of the band until Walker’s death in 2023.

“Sanity” is Killing Joke’s second single from their sixth studio album, Brighter Than a Thousand Suns. It was released on 30 October 1986. The single peaked at No. 70 in the UK Singles chart. All of the releases were mixed by Julian Mendelsohn and Zeus B. Held, and produced by Chris Kimsey.
