Essentially, Killing Joke'smusic consistsof thick-sounding guitars, often down tuned a whole step, and often with plenty of distortion and chorus; drumsand distorted electric basspounding beats that are heavy, tribal, funky, and danceable, usually all at once; keyboards andsynthesizers with sounds typical of New Wavemusic; and Coleman either singing in an aural voice, singing in a talk-sing style, orshouting in a malevolent-sounding growl.source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_Joke « hide
