The transmission properties of a one-dimensional defective photonic crystal have been investigated using the transfer matrix method. A layer of graphene-based hyperbolic metamaterial whose optical axis is tilted with respect to the interface is taken as a defect. It is shown that two kinds of the defect modes can be found in the band gaps of the structure for TM-polarized waves. One kind is created at the frequency range in which the principle elements of the effective permittivity tensor of the defect layer have the same signs. The frequency of this kind of defect mode is independent from the orientation of the optical axis of the defect layer. The other one is created at the hyperbolic dispersion frequency range. Such a defect mode appears due to the anisotropic behavior of the defect layer and its frequency strongly depends on the orientation of the optical axis. Unlike the conventional defect modes, the magnetic field of this defect mode is localized around the defect layer.
