Dbc dead brain cells full album


Dead Brain Cells are a Canadian thrash metal band from the late 1980s. Called DBC for short, the band started in 1985 in Montreal as a small project named Final Chapter by guitar players Eddie Shahini and Gerry Ouellette, who put an ad in a magazine looking for a drummer. In 1986, former Vomit and the Zits singer Dave Javex Ray-O-Vac (David Leone) and former Unruled and Vomit and the Zits drummer Jeff Saint-Louis, joined with Shahini and Ouellette and guitar player Phil Dakin, who switched to bass. The project grew into a serious band which took the name Dead Brain Cells among three suggestions by Leone, the others being "The Mental Pukes" and "The Retarded Assholes". Lowe had made commitments to his job and could not sing with the band anymore. Dakin decided he would sing and play bass at the same time. The band released two albums and toured twice in the United States. Their first album, Dead Brain Cells, was released in 1987. It was followed by a concept album, Universe, in 1989.
