Style: Something in the lines of metal, no one has been able to describe BrainDead.
BrainDead is fast, slow, heavy and hard.
BrainDead: 1) Stupid.
2) To not have the ability to think clearly or at all.
3A) A description of a group of band members that doesn't have to do with
their music, art, imagery, or beliefs but their own personal behaviors, minds,
and way of thinking in the real world.
3B) A group of band members that act like children.
began back in the summer of 1998 when Edward "Corpse555" Montejo was still just a small time beginner on guitar, just having only a few months experience on guitar. BrainDead was supposed to be a band just to have fun with mixing punk and hard-core metal, which didn't work. Since the beginning BrainDead has had a lot of line up changes all having to do with female vocalists, rhythm guitar players, drummer and bassists.
Today
the line up is Corpse555 and Ralph. The sound of BrainDead just finally went to something that currently mixes Thrash, Death, and Black Metal. But, BrainDead is still no where near a categorized genre. The band has four CD recordings, December 2000 which was something for the band to fuck around with and to give to any drummers just to listen to them play instrumental with a drum machine. Live Nun-sense, which was a live studio recording that was used to give out to their friends and family members. Some were used as demos. Live Mess that is not available to the people but is the live recording of the very first BrainDead show. BrainDead headlined that show on December 29, 2001. If you want to hear it just ask the band. Last but not least, Comic Relief, which is currently available to the public for $2, it was basically just a pointless CD made to have fun with and was the final recording with Carlos "The Punk". An actual official demo will be recorded sometime in 2004.
The
band’s name “BrainDead” does not have anything to do with their music, art, imagery and beliefs. The name “BrainDead”, art, imagery and beliefs have to do with their personal behaviors, minds, and way of thinking in the real world. BrainDead is basically about something that isn’t known, maybe about letting yourself go either for good or bad. BrainDead talks about many topics in their music. Either way, BrainDead just wants to make people happy and keep them entertained. Just use your common sense in the real world when you make your decisions. Remember BrainDead only describes the members, not their music and the music, not the members. Does that mean that the band really means everything they talk about? Of course they...?
