Headkase are an Australian avant-garde metal band from Brisbane, Queensland, formed in 2001. Headkase consists of six members, and are known for theatrical and energetic stage shows, circus-themed masks and facepaint. Often compared to acts like Mr. Bungle, the band combine many musical styles such as metal, jazz, techno, salsa, swing, and circus music.

After forming in early 2001, Headkase self-released a demo/EP titled The Beginning and eventually went on to open for such touring acts as Hed PE, Killing Joke, Skinlab, Jerk, Blood Duster, Devolved and Testeagles. Their full-length studio album The Worm County Circus was released in early 2009. The album was well received outside of Australia, with US magazine "Infernal Masquerade" describing it as "one of the most interesting albums of this year".
