The band performed at the Sweden Rock Festival in June 2012, on the same bill as Motörhead and Blue Öyster Cult. It was dedicated to the late Hubert Sumlin, who had been the lead guitarist on Howlin' Wolf's recording of the song "Killing Floor". The band undertook concert dates across Europe, and in May 2012 their fourth album, Rock 'n' Roll Gone Mad, was released. In 2002, the original 1968 line-up reconvened and, after a gap of almost 35 years, issued another Killing Floor album, Zero Tolerance (2004), on Appaloosa Records. Repertoire Records and See for Miles Records reissued both of the Killing Floor albums. Clarke subsequently issued nineteen solo albums and continues to tour with his band. Mick Clarke formed SALT, a pub rock outfit, before instigating the Mick Clarke Band. By this time Lou Martin had already joined Rory Gallagher's band, where he was joined by de'Ath.

McDonald joined the former Free singer, Paul Rodgers, in a short-lived outfit called Peace, before McDonald moved back to his native Wales and played in locally based bands. Thorndycraft left the music industry, whilst Smith moved on to play in other bands. However, by mid-1972, the group had decided to disband. A single from Out of Uranus, "Call For the Politicians", received airplay on BBC Radio 1, and also sold well in Germany. AllMusic commented that "Out of Uranus is rawer and more irreverent than most second-line British blues-rock of the late '60s and early '70s, as indicated by the title itself". Although Edward retained record producer duties, Larry Page oversaw the recording sessions as executive producer. In 1970, the band's second album, Out of Uranus was released on Penny Farthing Records. The latter had previously been with Andromeda, and later went on to join Fuzzy Duck. In 19, further line-up changes took place which included the former Juicy Lucy vocalist Ray Owen, drummer Rod de'Ath, and bassist Mick Hawksworth, joining the band. In March 1970, the band played at the Easter Festival in Hamburg, Germany. Following the release of Killing Floor and a couple of BBC Radio 1 sessions, Lou Martin left the band, and they continued for a while as a four piece. The band also took the opportunity to back Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup. In 1969, the band expanded their loyal fan base when undertaking two UK nationwide concert tours with the American bluesman, Freddie King. They also played at the Marquee Club in London, supporting Yes and The Nice. The band were again indebted to Edward, who arranged for them to appear at the California Ballroom in Dunstable, where they supported Ten Years After, Jethro Tull, Chicken Shack, and The Herd. In the United States, the album was released on the Sire label.
KILLING FLOOR WIKI UPDATE
AllMusic described the set as a " less reverent, and altogether heavier update of The Yardbirds rave-up sound". The majority of the tracks were re-workings of older Chicago blues material, although the only true cover version therein was of Willie Dixon's "You Need Love". Edwards was listed as the record's producer, although he had no previous experience in that field. Edward led them to signing a recording contract with Spark Records and, in 1969, their self-titled debut album was recorded in less than two weeks at the Pye Recording Studios. After undertaking their maiden gig, former Wonderful Radio London DJ and agent, John Edward, offered to manage the fledgling outfit. From this, they recruited Lou Martin (piano), Stuart McDonald (bass guitar) and Bazz Smith (drums). Originally performing in a blues band known as The Loop, Killing Floor founder members Mick Clarke (lead guitar) and Bill Thorndycraft (vocals/harmonica) formed the band in 1968 in London, England, after placing an advertisement in Melody Maker. The band name came from the title of Howlin' Wolf's 1964 track, " Killing Floor".
They have issued another two albums since their reformation in 2002. They released two albums and four singles before initially disbanding in 1972.
