Ah, when you think of the San Fernando Valley in California you think of a glass of wine in one hand and smash mouth metal band in the other, don’t you? Well, BRAINDEAD is smashing the wine bottles and grinding an axe bringing the Valley to a whole new level with their brand of music. You’ve got to love these boys for playing what they love and that’s metal. With a little taste of MEGADETH and SLAYER they tilt the can holding the horns up. Remember this is a demo, but with fairly good quality sound wise.

“Do Your Worst” has some heavy down chords by Adam Axe and vocally Joey Dalo is possessed by the demons within. He can sing and this is not that growling sound you hear by many as Joey has some range.

“Vengeance Incarnate” takes it up a notch with some great rolling guitar licks and the midsection of Josh Angel on drums and Rez Peterson on bass, which just adds to the excitement. Check out “Last Obsession”, do I hear some comparison to MEGADETH’s “Peace Sells”, if so that hit my taste buds because I love MEGADETH. Check out Adam Axe on this one; you give this guy a little room and he can go off. These guys show they are the melting pot of great thrashers like ANTHRAX, MEGADETH, and SLAYER and they are just oozing to get out. All five tracks rock and I give props to these boys for bringing a new era to thrash, not many newbie thrashers left out there in this genre. If you like it fast and hard BRAINDEAD is the answer.

Keep sending in those demos, we will be glad to listen!
