Circle of Dead Children is a deathgrind band formed on October 31, 1998 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The title of the band was inspired by a member's vision in which there was a circle of flags from various countries around the world, each with a mutilated child of that nationality. After their self-titled demo, Circle of Dead Children signed on with Willowtip Records to release their first full-length album, Starving The Vultures, which comprised the demo tracks as well as several new ones. Since then, Circle of Dead Children has been signed to Robodog Records, Necropolis Records, Deathvomit Records, Martyr Music Group, and Displeased Records. They are currently signed with Willowtip once again, having passed on deals from larger labels. Since its debut, "The Circle" as they call themselves, has undergone numerous lineup changes to such that only two original members, Joe Horvath and Jason Andrews, still remain. Despite this, Circle of Dead Children has remained active, releasing their latest album, Zero Comfort Margin, in 2005.

The band has generally followed the traditional grindcore and deathgrind format, in the sense that the songs are very short in length: A notable example would be the six second long track "White Trash Headache." Because of this, Circle of Dead Children tend to have relatively short albums despite having as many as nineteen tracks on one disc. However, individual songs vary greatly in length, as some may occasionally surpass four minutes or more in length.
