Brain Drill is:Marco Pitruzzella - DrumsDylan Ruskin - GuitarSteve Rathjen - VocalsJeff Hughell - BassBrain drill started in the summer of 2005 by dylan ruskin on guitars as a sideproject. After parting from his main band BURN AT THE STAKE, he began looking for drummers that could actually play death metal and not just claim they could. Enter Marco pitruzella. Former drummer of: VITAL REMAINS, VILE, VORNAGAR, ATROCIOUS HYSTERIA, NUMA, and a few other extreme metal bands. After meeting marco it was easily recognized that he was a perfect fit and instantly was joined into the band. After a few months of jamming Steve Rathjen was then later put onto vocals. BRAIN DRILL entered the studio on march 1st 2006 to release their first 6 song demo. All 6 of the drum tracks were done the day before recording by marco pitruzella on his v drum kit. The next day the guitars and bass were added by dylan and produced by Zack ohren at CASTLE ULTIMATE STUDIOS. On May 9th Steve entered castle ultimate to lay down the vocal tracks. He had only 4 days to learn the songs and lyrics and laid them all down in under 3 hours. Unfortunately he left the band shortly after the recording due to stylistic differences. After parting with steve the band quickly picked up Andre Cornejo the singer from DEAD SYNDICATE/casket blaster and quickly picked all of the material up. In the winter of 2006 Jeff Hughell (Vile, Mucus Membrane, Osmium) was then added to the band as the new and permanent bassist. With mind blowing style and speed and innovative finger tapping techniques using a 7 string bass, the songs did not take him too long to learn. It was quite obvious he was a perfect fit into the now 4 piece arsenal. Although in the summer of 2007 andre was replaced by steve rathjen due to other pre-occupations in his music. Steve returned and is now more dedicated then ever to more and more increase the heaviness of brain drill's sound. As of now BRAIN DRILL has shared the stage with bands such as : CANNIBAL CORPSE,DYING FETUS, NECROPHAGIST, UNMERCIFUL, JOB FOR A COWBOY, ALL SHALL PERISH, DECREPIT BIRTH, ODIOUS MORTEM, AS I LAY DYING and very many other extreme metal bands. In addition BRAIN DRILL has come in at number 1 in the top 10 myspace grindcore band charts in the world and has also come in at number 11 in the top 20 myspace death metal charts in the world. As well as being recommended in an interview with ALEX WEBSTER of CANNIBAL CORPSE as a “pretty fucking sick” band that has more and more pushed the limits of extreme modern death metal click here for full interview. In the winter of 2008 Marco pitruzela and Jeff hughell both quit the band due to touring complications. After 5 months of searching for a new drummer the band picked up Joe bondra, drummer for such death metal bands as lethean and irakanji among a few others, the first day he played the songs with the band he was easily the new replacement. A few months later in the summer of 2008 ivan munguia was then added on as the new and permanent bassist. Knowing that he had been in bands such as odious mortem and fetus by the pound it was not even difficult for him to quickly pick up the bass tracks. In the summer of 2009 Joe bondra quit the band after only playing 1 show. Shortly after drummer Ron casey of vaginal discharge entered into the band and not only easily memorized the old songs but quickly started learning the new material. On December 10th 2009 brain drill once again entered castle ultimate studios with zack ohren and recorded their 2nd coming album in 6 days. This time with ron casey on drums and Ivan munguia on bass, to later be their 2nd release on metal blade records. The drums were recorded in the studio at castle ultimate this time on an official acoustic kit for a much better quality of sound in 3 days. The guitars were then recorded within the next 2 days. Followed by bass and vocals the final day. Currently brain drill has posted a brand new track from their 2nd coming album and is looking to release their 2nd album on Metal Blade records.http://www.myspace.com/braindrill « hide |
