Brain 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, THE FACELESS, ATROCIOUS HYSTERIA, NUMA, and a few other extreme
metal bands. After meeting marco it was easily recognized that he was easily in the top 10
fastest drummers in the world and instantly was joined into the band. After a
few months of jamming Steve Rathjen was then later put onto vocals. BRAIN DRILL
enterd 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 in one take by marco
pitruzella. There was no editing and nothing was done over, HE BUSTED IT ALL IN
A MATTER OF UNDER 2 HOURS!!! with no help from any computers or metronomes in
the process. 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,
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 a complete
difference in vocal style. 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

full interview. In the winter of 2008 Marco pitruzela and Jeff hughell both left 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. With a following that grows by the thousands everyday,
Currently BRAIN DRILL is looking for shows to play and people to meet. NOW SIT
BACK AND ENJOY THIS SOUNDTRACK TO THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE.
