Pannello

I Killing Joke sono un gruppo musicale di Londra, attivo a partire dal 1979. I membri fondatori Jaz Coleman (voce, tastiere) e Geordie Walker (chitarra, basso, batteria) sono rimasti i componenti principali del gruppo nonostante i costanti cambiamenti di formazione.

La band è conosciuta per uno stile musicale che unisce l'heavy metal e il post-punk a ritmi sintetici, danzabili e tribali. La voce del cantante Coleman è talvolta in stile parlato, in growl o dal timbro emozionale e melodico. Il chitarrista Walker non esegue mai assoli, anche se egli stesso dichiara tra le proprie influenze Edward Van Halen e Jimmy Page.

I Killing Joke hanno influenzato molte band in tempi successivi come Nirvana, Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, Napalm Death, Big Black, Tool, Prong, Metallica, Primus, Jane's Addiction, Soundgarden, Foo Fighters, Faith No More, Deasonika, Korn e Helmet.
