Lawnmower Deth is a crossover thrash band from Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, formed in 1987, whose entire output is built around absurdist humor, nonsensical lyrics, and an unapologetic parody of death metal tropes. Their Earache Records debut Ooh Crikey It's... Lawnmower Deth (1990) and its follow-ups Return of the Fabulous Metal Bozo Clowns (1992) and Billy (1993) cultivated a cult following before the band dissolved from declining sales. A reunion beginning around 2008 eventually yielded Blunt Cutters (2022), their first new album in nearly three decades.
