Killing Joke is a seminal post-punk band formed in Notting Hill in 1979 by Jaz Coleman, Geordie Walker, and Paul Ferguson. Their dark experimental style offered an alternative to the contemporary punk scene and contrasted with the less aggressive sound of many other post-punk bands. Killing Joke has been massively influential across a range of music styles and is credited with pioneering the industrial metal genre with their 1990 release. Geordie Walker sadly passed away in Prague on November 26, 2023, two days after suffering a massive stroke.
