The best of the legendary Killing JokeKilling Joke, a band shrouded in fire and magic, has been one of the most respected and influential bands on the rock scene for over a quarter of a century with legendary frontman Jaz Coleman.Over the course of three decades, the members of Killing Joke have become multifaceted artists, evolving in many directions. Three-time Grammy winner Jaz Coleman is known for his collaborations with the world's finest symphony orchestras as well as local folk ensembles such as our very own Chesomor. Drummer Martin "Youth" Glover has developed into a highly respected music producer, overseeing albums by The Verve, Primal Scream and co-writing The Orb's biggest hit "Little Fluffy Clouds".Killing Joke's songs have been adopted with gusto by Metallica and Foo Fighters, while other fans of the band's apocalyptic visions include Jimmy Page and Billy Corgan. The influence of Killing Joke can easily be found in the work of many younger bands, such as Nirvana, Ministry, Nine Inch Nails and other bands that, despite their popularity, have retained ties to the harder underground scene.
