Clown Alley - circus of chaos




Clown Alley - circus of chaos, USA 1986
I kept listening to this for the past 22 years because it is GREAT THRASH METAL bordering on FANTASTIC STRANGECORE! I didn't know Southern Lord just reissued this classic. Picture a dark and sorry blend of early stop&go thrash à la Septic Death with Metallica riffs and early Melvins hammering. TOTAL FUCKING ZZZZZZZZZZZZERRR!!!! A total shame no other album was released, blame it on the Melvins.
The band is a cult not only for its great music: bassist Lori Black (Lorax) and guitarist Mark Deutrom both played bass (at different times) in The Melvins. Mark Deutrom is also the founder of their orginal label, Alchemy (also known as the starting point for The Melvins and Neurosis, and many other cult releases by Sacrilege BC, Poison Idea, Paranoïa etc.).

The archive was ripped from the original vinyl rip, not the remastered CD reissue by Southern Lord. The CD has more demo tracks + interview.
titles on Southern Lord website - buy ther CD reissue !
another download with the 1985 demo on a killer blog
