Bludgeon

Bludgeon is a unique metal outfit from Chicago that isn't afraid to sow chaos. The first band signed to Magic Circle Music, Bludgeon takes extreme metal head-on and gives no quarter. Bludgeon has earned several distinctions over its young career. When Joey DeMaio, Manowar's bassist and founder of Magic Circle Music, discovered the band, he agreed to produce their first album, Crucify The Priest - an honor never before granted to any band other than his own - and signed them to his label. DeMaio then introduced the band to Brian Slagel, CEO of Metal Blade Records, who saw the band's immense potential and agreed to distribute their debut album worldwide.
