Disclaimer: I am not a metalhead. I know nothing of Party Cannon’s works. Only that someone uttered, “Fucking Party Cannon” upon seeing this flyer.

I wish their music was like plonky circus music, but with the evil devil screaming metal lyrics laid on top and the band itself came out dressed like bright, colorful clowns.

Also: Does one of those say "Alter Beast?" Like the video game?

For the first bit, you'd want Clownc0re.

Second bit, yes, top right of the right-most side.

The video game was "Altered Beast".

That's if you're refering to this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altered_Beast

It is. The text looks pretty similar. Just add more spikes behind it and remove the "ed." I wonder if it was their inspiration?

Their original name was 'Gary Busey Amber Alert'. So, maybe?

I've been searching articles and I can't find anything about why they chose that name.

EDIT: See, I knew if I made a post about it, I would immediately find the answer.

"Their name is an obvious reference to Altered Beast (1988). Michael Alvarez would later go on to use "Rise From Your Grave" as a song title in Flub."

Flub - 'Rise From Your Grave'

Pro tip, Acid Bath's "When The Kite String Pops" is also not that.

Though they do have a song about Dr Seuss.
