Brainchoke was formed in January
2000. Former members of Suffering and Inimenter joined forces
with other musicians with an equally extreme taste in music to
form what was described as "England's new force in cool
grind/death metal".
The line up of Simon (drums), Mark (vocals), Kieran, Paul (guitars), and Dave (bass) spent
the first eight months of the bands existence writing
material which evolved into the debut album, "Migraine Music".
"Migraine Music" was released through
the band's own imprint, MBTC Productions, in November 2000 to
a very warm reception from the underground music scene.
Excellent reviews followed and gigs were lined up to support the
release.
Positive feedback from those gigs
prompted the release of "Mental Clarity", a six track EP used
by the band to show off the progressive writing style, increased
depth and song structure and also the fact that they were
speeding up - the EP included re-recorded versions of two songs
from the "Migraine Music" sessions played faster than ever
before!
Brainchoke were voted number ten in
the "Best unsigned band" category of Terrorizer magazine's
2001 readers' poll. To capitalise on this success, they
appeared on the cover-mount CD of the March 2001 issue. Two new
tracks were recorded for the occasion and one from the EP
was re-mastered to combine into a "medley" lasting around four
minutes. A mention in Kerrang! magazine and appearances on various
compilation CD's has helped to increase the band's
profile.
In the autumn of 2003, "Microchipped
and Mindcontrolled" was released as a split CD with U.S.
band Fetus Eaters through the U.K. label, Grindethic Records.
The whole batch of CD's pressed sold out completely within
eight months.
Also in 2003, Brainchoke recorded a
five-track "demo", which was self-released as a stop gap until the
next album. After an unexpectedly long hiatus, 2005 saw both Simon and Kieran leave the band to concentrate their efforts on other things. Within a week, the band recruited Mike, a long time friend, on drums.
The band then set about preparing their most recent, full length release, "Introspective". This was released on 7th July 2008 and is distributed through Grindethic Records/ Code 7. Favourable reviews continue to surface from both the underground scene from which the band sprung and also the mainstream metal media.
In January 2009, after over three years Mike left the band for pastures gayer only to be replaced by original drummer, Simon. In May, Brainchoke had an mp3 included on the Terrorizer magazine covermount Cd.
The band are now writing material for a new E.P which is likely to be the bands first download only release.
