Broken Clown

Broken Clown was a metal band from Portland, Maine that played a lot of shows together from 1997-2002. We released one EP in 2000 and started recording our first full length album that same year, but never finished it. Below you can listen to a lot of the music we recorded in our time together. Some of these tracks are really rough, but it's the best we could do. We hope you like it.
