First music video off BRAIN DRILL'S upcoming album, Quantum Catastrophe, now live on Bloody Disgusting!
Head over to premier horror movie site Bloody Disgusting to check out technical death metalers BRAIN DRILL's brand new music video for the track Beyond Bludgeoned off the band's upcoming sophomore release Quantum Catastrophe. The video for Beyond Bludgeoned was filmed back in February out in the San Joaquin Delta/Rio Vista, CA area and was directed by Nikko DeLuna and shot by Justin Potter.
BRAIN DRILL will once again take fans on a mind-melting voyage through the boundaries of exactly how incredible technical death metal can be. Quantum Catastrophe continues to push the band to their physical limits while somehow still exhibiting their trademark and infectious hook-laden riffs. Fan should expect an exponentially more technical and brutal release than they got with the band's Metal Blade debut Apocalyptic Feasting. The song structures are way more over the top than before and the riffs catchier than before, which was a natural progression for the band as BRAIN DRILL's goal is to push the limits of what they can do musically and technically. With Quantum Catastrophe, BRAIN DRILL truly does push themselves to the limits.
Quantum Catastrophe was recorded at Castle Ultimate Studios in Oakland, CA with Zach Ohren, who handled engineering mastering and produced the album along with the band. Bassist Ivan Munguia got to show off his guitar skills on the tracks "Mercy to None" and "Awaiting Imminent Destruction" which he wrote and recorded.
Vocalist Steve Rathjen explains the concept behind Quantum Catastrophe; "Universal decimation (black holes, galactic cosmic radiation), pandemic disease and zombie re-awakenings - mankind is entering an age of mass speculation as foreseen by numerous ancient cultures. Space to all humanity still primarily remains a mystery even in our days of immense technological advancements. We know this void is filled with infinite extremities which could occur at any instant; easily decimating all habitations. We also know our planet has fulfilled these mass extinctions time and again centuries in the past. The question which remains, are we due for another apocalyptic transition?"
Guitarist Dylan Ruskin adds some insight into the musical process; "The album was definitely a huge accomplishment in the chronicling of the drill. The musical dynamics and skill level of everyone in the band have improved much more than the previous album. The songs are more technical and musically diverse but are also well balanced and catchy."
Quantum Catastrophe again features cover art by Par Olofsson. The over the top cover art perfectly complements the nearly unbelievable musicianship present on the record.
To date BRAIN DRILL has shared the stage with bands such as: Cannibal Corpse, Dying Fetus, The Black Dahlia Murder, Necrophagist, Job for a Cowboy, Unmerciful, All Shall Perish, Decrepit Birth, and many other extreme metal bands. In addition BRAIN DRILL has also managed to land the #1 spot on the MySpace grindcore band charts and #7 on the MySpace death metal charts.

BRAIN DRILL launches new album cover on MySpace and posts new track of 'Quantum Catastrophe'!
In preparation for their recently completed, second full-length album Quantum Catastrophe, Santa Cruz, CA technical death metalers BRAIN DRILL have completely redesigned their MySpace page to feature the cover art created by Par Olofsson (www.parolofsson.se). In addition to the complete overhaul of the band's page, BRAIN DRILL have also posted the new track Monumental Failure.
Bassist Ivan Munguia comments; "Monumental Failure has a couple of the most mosh inducing riffs on the new album Quantum Catastrophe, but it also showcases the direction we are heading in terms of songwriting. Monumental Failure was one of the first songs written for the Quantum Catastrophe so in a way, we're easing listeners into some of the more complex songs that we wrote."
In other news; BRAIN DRILL recently shot footage for their first music video for the upcoming album Quantum Catastrophe for the track Beyond Bludgeoned. The video was shot in the middle of nowhere near Birds Landing close to the San Joaquin Delta/Rio Vista, CA and was directed by Nikko DeLuna and shot by Justin Potter.
Bassist Ivan Munguia comments; "This guy that Nikko knows had a hookup that let us onto this utility company owned land. There was a dilapidated old house and some pretty cool scenery so we figured it was a good spot to shoot. We picked Beyond Bludgeoned as the first video because we feel it's one of the strongest songs on the album and showcased everyone's contributions to the album."
Quantum Catastrophe will be available in Europe May 7th / 10th. More information including track listing, will be announced in the months leading up to the release of Quantum Catastrophe!

BRAIN DRILL is currently hard at work rehearsing with Ivan and Joe to get them up to speed on the band’s current material and plan to hit the road as soon as they can. BRAIN DRILL is also currently hard at work on new tracks for the follow up to their devastating debut 'Apocalyptic Feasting'.
BRAIN DRILL finds new drummer – currently auditioning bassists
[27/08/08] Northern CA technical Death Metal outfit BRAIN DRILL has just announced Joe Bondra of Pennsylvania as their new drummer. Video footage of Joe covering Brain Drill songs along with songs the band recorded with him when he came to the bay area just this past weekend has been posted at BRAIN DRILL's MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com
"I always thought that BRAIN DRILL was one of the most brutal bands in the Death Metal scene, and now I am extremely excited to be part of that band and I am even more amped to be able to start playing shows and work on our new material" comments Joe Bondra
BRAIN DRILL is now looking to recruit a new bass player. If you are interested send the band a video or mp3 showcasing your skills as a bass player. An audio file is fine but the band prefers video if possible. You can post your tryout on YouTube or MySpace TV and then send the link to the band by emailing it to bookingbraindrill@gmail.com or via their MySpace page. BRAIN DRILL would prefer it if you are from the bay area or somewhere in California, but it is fine if you are in another part of the country as long as you are willing to relocate or travel frequently. BRAIN DRILL are NOT going to fly you out to California so please make sure you will be able to travel if you are serious about joining the band. Persons trying out for the open position in the band definitely need to have a valid driver's license, no drug or women problems, be able to drive 8-10 hours at a time, and someone who will be able to tour once the band gets back out onto the road.
