Circus of Pain was the music project founded by Michael Antener, G.No, and Ane Hebeisen of the bands Meathead and Swamp Terrorists.
In 1994 Sub/Mission Records released their debut remix EP, titled The Swamp Meat Intoxication.
[2][3][4] It was made with the collaborative efforts of the bands Pankow and Templebeat and was commended for its "ugly vocals, heavy guitars, big break-beats and perverse lyrics".
[5][6][7] In 1996 the band's debut was reissued by Fifth Colvmn Records[8] and the Paolo Favati remix of "Remove My Skin" was released on the various artist compilations Sweet Sub/Mission Vol.
[9][10] Circus of Pain recorded the song "Rotula" and in 1996 released it to The Answering Machine Solution on Staalplaat.
