First lets get something out of the way that bothers me about this band, and that’s the name; this is a very subjective point off course, I fucking hate clowns, like most people that have seen “It” the name and the white make up disturbs me in a non funny way! Ok so how’s the music of Mad Klown… good, very good; I can even dare and compared them to a young Aborted, but with a lot more sense in what a melody is and how to make it work with this brutal death with thrash like guitar solos, just check out “Your blood will paint these walls” a great song with clever riffs that make them stand out of the crowed Latin brutal death scene.

I’m really tired of repeating this but the production is awful, and the sound thou it manages to portray faithfully what the band was trying to do lacks on intensity and clarity when you need it the most… but despite all that “Garden Of Pleassure…” comes out on top mixing death rhythms, thrash solos, and a very obscure almost grindcore like vocal work. They do like most Latin metal bands fall into the common cliché sound that pursues brutality, transforming just for a few instants the record into something that you might have already heard in thousands of other bands from your local town.

The true “beauty” in Mad Klown, is the ability to reconstruct every song and every tune into something authentic, even thou many fragments are repetitive, these guys handle the timings and the tempos to the best of their advantage, putting forward a simple yet interesting formula of playing.
“Garden Of Pleassure... Garden Of Flesh…” for some reason has been forgotten in the Costarrican scene, as well as the band, something that should be worked on, been this band and this album a great example of authentic death metal.
