circus metal

Also described as art house metal or avant garde metal, the circus metal genre often incorporates circus or carnival music into the heavy metal sound. Bands like Mr. Bungle, Dog Fashion Disco, Secret Chiefs 3, Vicious Hairy Mary, Headkase and Darth Vegas were known also to mix in elements of ska, punk, jazz, bossa nova, salsa, Egyption, Arabian, surf rock, industrial and techno with their already quirky 'circus music meets death metal' sound. The genre is frowned upon by serious metalheads, who accuse the genre of satirizing heavy metal. Supporters agree, noting the ponderous excesses of the form are ripe for satirizing: See Spinal Tap
