Jesters Of Destiny
Jesters Of Destiny were a quirky, offbeat, psychedelic-tinged band,
borne at a time where there really wasn't a defined audience for
such non-mainstream material.
Though some of their songs were too poppy/upbeat to be considered
metal,
Fun At The Funeral does contain some real gems, including
"End Of Time" (also found on a Metal Massacre compilation),
"God Told Me To", and especially "Diggin' That Grave".
With lineup changes seemingly an everyday occurence, the band
eventually produce the covers EP
In A Nostalgic Mood (this also
before covers and tributes were the rage as they are now), and
apparently a third release was recorded in some capacity but never
released.
When signed to the Dimension label (a subdivision of Metal Blade),
they were referred to as "alternative metal" -- an apt description
back then, again long before it became a more common term.
released.
Fun At The Funeral has recently been re-released in Europe by
Ektro Records, containing additional unreleased tracks.
