An Entity of Type: album, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Metal Circus is an EP by American punk rock band Hüsker Dü, released in 1983. As one of their early records, it was largely rooted in the band's initial hardcore punk style. However, signs of a new, poppier influence emerge on Metal Circus, particularly in the songs sung by Grant Hart ("It's Not Funny Anymore" and "Diane"). It also features some of Bob Mould's most passionate singing and shows further development in his guitar playing. Harmonic, chorus-type effects applied to Mould's guitar are more prominent. The change from the furious hardcore moments of Land Speed Record and Everything Falls Apart towards increasing melodicism hints at the groundbreaking new approach that was to be seen on the band's next release, Zen Arcade.

The change from the furious hardcore moments of Land Speed Record and Everything Falls Apart towards increasing melodicism hints at the groundbreaking new approach that was to be seen on the band's next release, Zen Arcade. The horrific murder depicted in the anguished "Diane" is based upon the murder of West St. Paul waitress Diane Edwards by Joseph Ture in 1980. The song was covered by Coffin Break in 1989, Irish band Therapy? in 1995, Superdrag in 1998 and Gravenhurst in 2004 . While only 21 seconds shorter than their debut studio album Everything Falls Apart, and generally viewed as an EP, Metal Circus was almost released as a 30-minute album with 11 songs. The outtakes were "Standing by the Sea" (later used on Zen Arcade), "Today's the Day", "You Think I'm Scared", and "Won't Change" (which later appeared on the compilation A Diamond Hidden in the Mouth of a Corpse). In 2017, The Numero Group released a compilation of early Hüsker Dü material. A bonus edition of the compilation, called Savage Young Dü, was packaged with a 7" entitled Extra Circus containing outtakes from the EP's sessions. In a 1984 Trouser Press review, John Leland said the band "flirts with heavy metal, but also reveal strains of folk and psychedelia. The metal ventures (noisy lead guitars) expand Hüsker Dü's sound without getting sludgy or bombastic. On the slower tunes,...the guitars drone like a supercharged Dream Syndicate. On the fast tunes they smoke." (en)
  • Metal Circus è un EP del gruppo hardcore punk Hüsker Dü registrato tra dicembre 1982 e gennaio 1983 presso lo studio di registrazione Total Access Recording di Redondo Beach e pubblicato nell'ottobre del 1983. È il primo disco del gruppo con l'etichetta SST Records. Il disco rappresenta una tappa fondamentale nel passaggio dal frenetico hardcore punk degli esordi ad un suono più inventiva e dove emergono le doti di scrittura di Bob Mould e Grant Hart. (it)
