Killing Joke are a Post-Punk band from London, England. Formed in 1978, the band were instrumental in the development of Industrial Metal and various aspects of Alternative Rock. Their sound throughout the years has ranged from "quasi-Metal" Post-Punk, to Gothic Synth-Pop, to Industrial Alternative Metal. Their lineup has always been based primarily around singer Jaz Coleman and guitarist Geordie Walker, with the current (reunited founding) lineup including bassist Martin "Youth" Glover and drummer Paul Ferguson. Former members have included drummer Martin Atkins,note Public Image Ltd., Ministry, Pigface and late bassist Paul Raven,note Ministry, Prong whose sudden death caused the original lineup to reform in tribute.While the band has only had minor commercial success, they have been cited as an influence by Ministry (perhaps their most obvious fans), Nirvana (Dave Grohl plays drums on their 2003 self-titled album!), Metallica (covered "The Wait"), Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, Slipknot, Faith No More, Rammstein, and Korn among many, many others.Jaz is also an accomplished classical composer and sang in Mulan and Youth is a prolific producer and remixer, working with Guns N' Roses, Primal Scream, U2, Depeche Mode, Paul McCartney,note under the group name The Fireman, among many others.Not to be confused with the Joker comic. | |

Alternative Metal: From the 90s-onward, when the Industrial aspects aren't as prominent. | |

Oppressive States of America: Their 2003 self titled album contains several songs in this vein. Ironically, the drummer on that album is American. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: Their first EP, Almost Red, has a pronounced Dub influence. Their following albums would be closer to Heavy Metal. | |

Industrial Metal: Very influential in its development. After the Synth-Pop era started to sour, they began taking back influence from the likes of Ministry. | |

Long-Runner Line-up | |
| Killing Joke (Music) / int_e115dd80 | comment |
Long-Runner Line-up: Type 5. Kept its founding lineup of Jaz Coleman, Kevin "Geordie" Walker, Martin "Youth" Glover, and Paul Ferguson until Youth's departure in 1982. Ferguson left in 1987, and the band as a whole was inactive from 1996 to 2002. Since 2008, the lineup consists of all four original members plus Reza Uhdin on keyboards, a position added in 1984. | |

Harsh Vocals: Jaz's voice became much rougher in the 90s, until this trope was in full blast by the 2003 self-titled. It's been reined in for the albums since. | |
