Horrorcore/grindcore/experimental/jazz/electronic, unknown country, EP released in 2021.
Clown Core is an experimental group that combines elements of heavy electronic music, math and breakbeat drums, and smooth jazz. The two members of the band wear clown masks and jumpsuits, reminiscent of the early days of Slipknot. That said, Clown Core is much different than Corey Taylor’s long-time metal band.
It is hard to describe the sounds these two musicians put together. Their style blends intricate drum patterns with heavy synths and a jazzy saxophone. Their songs are often very short and have choppy changes ups you would normally hear in grindcore bands.
While the identities of these two clowns have never been officially confirmed, the internet has a pretty good idea of who makes up the band. It is widely believed that the group consists of Louis Cole on drums and Sam Gendel on saxophone.
Louis Cole is known for being one-half of the avant-garde pop/electronic duo Knower. Sam Gendel is an avant-garde jazz musician. Both artists have a reputation for being extremely talented and experimental. While Clown Core is much more dissonant and heavy, the similarities between Clown Core and these two artists cannot be denied.
