Brain Drill - Apocalyptic Feasting Review

Thursday February 7, 2008
Apocalyptic Feasting features lightning fast and razor sharp riffs played at warp speed. Brain Drill's musical virtuosity and technical skill is amazing. It's not often you talk about a band's bassist, but Jeff Hughell plays a 7 string bass and uses a 10 finger tapping technique that allows him to play incredibly fast.

Musicianship will only take you so far, you must also have the songs to back it up. Otherwise, after a couple of listens you lose interest quickly. Brain Drill has succeeded on that front as well. The songs, while not melodic, have catchy riffs and a decent amount of diversity. Dylan Ruskin's guitar wizardry is compelling and drummer Lord Marco Pitruzzella (Vital Remains) plays at warp speed.
