5.0 out of 5 stars
liked human harvest?, September 3, 2005
then youll probably like this one too. not as good as human harvest, but hey, not many albums are. good drumming, crazy vocals, solid riffs. another worthy release from the circle.

woah ho ho, October 5, 2006
Zero comfort margin and human harvest are a must have if you are a fan of the death/grind genre. Although this record isn't recorded particularly clearly turn it up and it still gives an amazing affect. Overwhelmingly fast drumming, chuggy and speedy string work and extremely powerful, inhuman vocals are what makes circle of dead children masters of obscene metal. As many deathmetal/grindcore/horrorcore bands circle of dead children have an evil lute to their music, the fact that this cd comes with "TERROR ALERT: may contain backward and/or subliminal messages" written down the side of the case you can tell that circle of dead children have really pushed the boat out on this evil aura. The album art work containing many pictures of dissection notes and sketches also take a look at the picture of the little devil on page three of the booklet, look familiar? The vocals on this album are what make it for me; vocalist Joe Horvath uses a brilliant array of death growls, shrieks, screams, squeals and some sounds that I have never heard made by any man nor beast. I say buy this album and crank it up.

You can hold onto your Faith but I'll try to hold back my laughter, February 23, 2006
Circle Of Dead Children is a band I stumbled upon completely by mistake. The name of the band and the cover art piqued my interest so I decided to get Zero Comfort Margine. I expected some pretty insane music judging from the reviews but no review will ever prepare you for for how completely chaotic this band really is.
Yes this is metal, so of course the heavy riffs, double bass drums, and crazy bass will be there. But for me it's the vocals that sets CoDC apart from the others. You may think you've heard a death metal vocalist have range, but I can almost guarantee that none can touch Joe Horvath. No words can really describe his style, but let it be known that he's the best I've ever heard.
The fact that there's a 'Terror Alert' on the CD that says this CD "may contain backward and/or subliminal messages" kind of lets you in on what to expect, that and the song titles. There are some rather funny sound clips during a few of the songs that make a statement or two as well, I like the one where the guys talks about complete freedom the best. The lyrics are especially brutal, something you really just need to read for yourself. Lets just say it's quite clear this band is mad about a lot of things. Basically, Circle Of Dead Children is the band that your mom would never want you to listen to.
My favorite songs are No Tears Fall Through Hollow Eye Sockets, Host(age), Bohemian Grave, Strip Naked For The Killer, and For Black Eyes Only a.k.a. Depopulate: Tears Of Illuminati. Despite the fact that this is such a short CD, I loved every minute of it. If you're new to this brand of metal, definitely look elsewhere first, I thought I was into some heavy stuff but this CD blew me away. Suffice to say, this won't be the last Circle Of Dead Children CD I buy.
