Dear readers, welcome to this blog. I hope you got this post's title reference. I decided to create this space in order to fulfil a desire I've always had. That is gathering together the most bizarre and schizophrenic music around, the one I have always loved, my favourite kind of music, which some labelled 'circus metal'.
"What the fuck is circus metal?" I imagine some of you are wondering about that; well, you can find a pretty good definition of it on the upper right corner of this page. To me Circus metal is the answer I give when people ask me what kind of music I dig, although I fail each time I try to explain it. Since circus metal is such a mixture of styles, it is almost impossible to imagine how it sounds before hearing it, let alone describe it.
In this blog, with the help of some friends, I would try to gather together all the bands and artists that are related somehow to circus metal: the genre's precursors, the ones who developed it and the ones who have been inspired by it.
You have just entered into a very scary, yet very entertaining, circus, are you ready to flip out?
We really hope so.

Circus Metal
"Also described as arthouse metal or avant-garde metal, the circus metal genre often incorporates circus or carnival music into the heavy metal sound. Bands like Mr.Bungle, Crotchduster, Dog Fashion Disco, Secret Chiefs 3, vicious Hairy Mary, Headkase and Darth Vegas were also known to mix in elements of ska, punk, jazz, bossa nova, salsa, Egyption, Arabian, surf rock, industrial and techno with their already quirky 'circus death metal' sound."
