D.B.C. Dead Brain Cells LP RED , PRE-ORDER [VINYL 12"]

The 1987 Canadian Thrash Metal classic, raw, relentless, remastered and re-issued!

Raw and intense Crossover infused Thrash Metal from 1987 that any 80’s Thrasher must know.

1987 was a big year for Canadian Thrash. Bands like Voivod, Razor, Piledriver and Sacrifice had already done the groundwork over the previous few years but 1987 would be
there year that saw the local scene taking the next step in its evolution with a new generation of bands making their initial forays into the world of recorded music.

Amongst them were outfits like Slaughter, Infernal Majesty and four-piece Montreal Thrashers D.B.C. (otherwise known as Dead Brain Cells).
D.B.C. had only formed in February of the previous year but had wasted no time in delivering their self-titled debut album in partnership with well-respected New York metal label Combat Records who had already made quite a name for themselves in the underground scene.

Combat brought in experienced campaigners Steve Sinclair & Randy Burns to handle the production & engineering duties; each possessing some imposing resumes. 

Sinclair & Burns’ production job is actually very good & presents DBC in a very positive light. “Dead Brain Cells” certainly sounds of its time however there’s a great energy to this
music that gives the band every chance of impressing the listener.
D.B.C.’s musical direction is made up of several components.

Firstly, you have a very sophisticated & mature modern Thrash Metal sound that’s been built on a love of aggressive American Thrash like Slayer & Nuclear Assault. D.B.C. are fucking tight outfit and I regularly find myself being surprised at just how accomplished the composition & arrangements are considering that this was only the band’s first studio outing. 

This is some top notch Thrash right here which sees “Dead Brain Cells” sitting very comfortably under the undiscovered gem banner.
