Sporting a name that accurately describes their sound, Cali death metal scientists Brain Drill have put together an unstoppable tidal wave of precise destruction on APOCALYPTIC FEASTING. With technical prowess that borders on unprecedented, the musicians in Brain Drill, particularly bassist Jeff Hughell and guitarist Dylan Ruskin, step neatly out of the death metal pack. Songs like the title track and the vertiginous "Sadistic Abductive" seem to defy the laws of physics with their dizzying guitar runs and hair-trigger tempo shifts. It's not all hard science, however, as Brain Drill digs up blood and guts on every song too.
