Brainclaw..

The result of this work was an album of music called Infrastrukture. Six more albums followed, (Painselectiv - 1991, Shrieking In Standby - 1992, Sect - 1994, Treason - 1996, Strange Protection - 1997 and the abortive half album, Bodyhorror - 1998) each building on the work of the previous one, slowly refining both recording technique and compositional structures. A few half-hearted attempts to put this music out occured, until MP3.COM actually allowed Brainclaw to get out to the world.

Things with Brainclaw went on hiatus for six years after David was recruited to write and play in the Philadelphia Goth Rock outfit, Carfax Abbey. After the band began moving in a different direction, and some major life changes happened to him, David amiably parted ways with Carfax in early 2002, to rejuvinate the Brainclaw project with a vengeance.

Things really got going in earnest when best friend and now wife Tara Giuffre came on board, and began co-writing songs with David. She provided a level of accountability, quality control and new concepts that truly complimented Davids dark vision of music.

As new songs began arriving on the scene, several internet radio stations began noticing the Brainclaw sound, and began lending their support. The Official Brainclaw Website was tooled up and re-designed several times. The selection of the song Downsect for the Spiderbite Studios compilation called Perverions of Industry would prove to be a far-reaching event, right into the present day. Brainclaw songs began topping electromusic charts on the internet and alternative radio stations in many parts of the world. A massive promotional push began, with CD press kits going out daily. The rest of 2002 was spent writing songs, getting press and club/radio spins and promoting at events.

2003 began with new photoshoots by Philadelphia photographer Kyle Cassidy, further modifications and upgrades to the Official Brainclaw Website and a re-uniting with old bandmates in Carfax Abbey, who approached David and Tara with the idea of fleshing out and recording songs for Carfaxs then-upcoming full-length release, Second Skin.

The latter half of the year saw increased activity in the press, with many solid reviews of Brainclaws Promo EP CD, especially a great review in Industrial Nation magazine. They finished up the Carfax Abbey CD as the year closed, having recorded and produced six new songs, and began preparations for the release of their own full-length CD, called Insekt/Angel. As the year ended, some truly spectacular news came to light: Warner Brothers, turned on to Brainclaw music because of the Spiderbite compilation appearance of a year ago, licensed the song When The Dark Rains Come for use in the DVD release of Matrix Revolutions.

The new year began in a similarly amazing fashion, as Columbia Tristar Pictures licensed When The Dark Rains Come and Insekt/Angel for use on the DVD release of the Spiderman Collectors Edition DVD. The new Brainclaw CD was finally released to an increasingly interested electromusic community, and reviews and support began arriving from the U.K., Japan, Germany, Canada, and many other places around the world, including many places in North America. Then, the Insekt/Angel CD was picked up for distribution by Metropolis Records.

Wanting to bring a live Brainclaw show to the stage, and using the hard experience gained from his years in Carfax Abbey, David and Tara began fleshing out a stage performance set. Good friend James Sewell of Divers Lust came on-board as live hybrid kit drummer. Synthesist Lorie K of Suture Seven also joined the live Brainclaw show. The Insekt/Angel Summer 2004 tour was a great success, with a somewhat lighter schedule for the summer 2005 tour, to allow for the writing of a follow-up album to Insekt/Angel. Warner Brothers also licensed four more songs from Insekt/Angel for the Matrix DVD Box Set. Several bands remixed Brainclaw songs, and Brainclaw remixed many other bands and their own songs as well. Several more BC songs appear in independent films across the country. Lorie K. had a wonderful opportunity in early 2006 to relocate to Germany to pursue other projects, so the search began for a new live synthesist.

Most recently, Brainclaw signed an excellent deal with BLC Productions. The new Brainclaw CD called Dead Monsters was released on BLC in both North America and Europe to rave reviews. New press opportunities continue to present themselves, with interviews and reviews in such publications as UK Kaleidoscope and European Side-Line magazines. Studio Auroviral, Brainclaw's in-house recording facility, has been re-built again, this time around a brand new Mac Pro computer. The sultry and mysterious Miss Kimberly joined up as synthesist for the live shows, and the Brainclaw Website was completely rebuilt around a totally interactive blog format.

Brainclaw recently collaborated with Japanese Cyberpunk Author Kenji Siratori and the song appeared on the Diehard 4 Japanese promotional campaign. Brainclaw has finished a remix for Neikka RPM on Alfa Matrix, as well as appearing on the new Interbreeding compilation with an exclusive remix of The Temporal Tide (Brainclaw Infantivore remix). The new Brainclaw album is under construction at this moment, and new new single "Deceptor" is headed to the label as you read this... big things coming... Stay tuned for further developments...
