Shattered Brain Orchestrations

26/10/2024

Due to the inclement nature of Spotify and everything else streaming related, all SBO titles will be soon unstreamable. Numerous SBO albums have been systematically booted with no support from the services/providers, so, see ya.
Any actual fans out there, please stick with my Bandcamp page (see link👆🏼) or / for physical media options.
Oh, and long overdue, but making mighty progress on the next Varkt album.

TL;DR:

29/07/2024

Yep, decided to fill the Varkt gap with something completely different (again). Inspired by Orlandi, Ortolani, Cipriani… you get the idea. Come give a listen.

Check out my chat with Sam where I talk a bit about my projects/influences/stuff. Fingers crossed I didn’t ramble and was coherent!

04/07/2024

Had a great conversation with local music aficionado Sam ! Stay tuned - full chat posted soon.

Also, Varkt’s 3rd album currently in the works (longest I’ve ever stuck with a project), though it’s always possible a random release may interject…

30/04/2023

Coming soon (The 5th of May, 2023):

7 track album

23/10/2022

For those who don’t have, or haven’t the ability to play, the limited Töt Bête Lögn - Noire 3” CD, you’re in luck! It’s now on streaming services (Spotify, YouTube, etc…)

Pick one and listen!

Also - soon all artists will be available to stream/purchase on all kinds of digital platforms.

So, anyway as I was saying…
SBO #4 - Hindsight by : A little mince, a little slam, a lot of fun! Released early 2020. Inhuman drums by a nintendo 3ds. Inspired by , freak, and goregrind bands in general.
This one’s digital only (Bandcamp)

07/09/2022

So many nods, references, and parallels. Awesome.

¡Bonus! History lesson: I suppose my 2019 endeavour that was rose from the long forgotten ashes of !mbroglio - a quirky power violence project “written”/recorded about 15-20 years ago. (Can be located in the SBO catchall section - see bio link) Inspired by the almighty Spazz, the Locust, and Winnipeg’s own short lived Slobberknocker (by the way, I’m looking for a copy of Skeletal Beetle…)

SBO #3 - Eat The Crust by ¡¡blasts!!
Musically inspired by spazz, doom, Charles Bronson (visually obvious…?) and koalslaw, among others, as well as various notable figures in Italian cinema; Fun things included:
A dodecalogical homage to the (un)REAL Terminator 2 (aka ) AND a capitalist casualties “medley”.
Although mainly power violence and tongue-in-cheek hardcore, my personal favourite is the surf song ‘Summertime in Venice…2001!’
Do yourself a favour and have this blarin out the back of your trans-am on the way to the beach.

SBO #2. Clarity by
and then it got slower, and heavier…
I don’t think I ever officially announced this release from early 2019 (oops). Prog-y sludge rock with some doom/black metal nods. Only made a few cd copies.

Compelled to include old school RIYL list: Cough, Thou, Goatsnake, High On Fire

Regarding the aforementioned interview; unless the station maintains an archive of interviews, mine is thankfully lost to the annals of time. The music, however, remains accessible in perpetuity on Bandcamp (link in bio now directly to the French album)! Anyone wanna put this on vinyl?…

22/06/2022

SBO #1.5 - Bleak by Now check out the French vocals version of SBO #1 done shortly after the English version…because why not??? Somehow landed this complete unknown a literal 15 minutes of infamy on a local French radio station…

17/06/2022

Ok, so I don’t post often. Let’s change that - Start of an refresher!
This episode:
SBO #1. Noire by (inaugural release, June 2018) We’ll call it: mid-tempo laid-back dark & crusty cowboy thrash? Gotta pigeon-hole oneself…Combo of metal, punk, grind, industrial, various movies…And who doesn’t need an Unholy Grave cover?
Crank it! (Seriously, I mastered it a little low)

I suppose I have a penchant, perhaps even a bias, for one (or two) member bands, but these guys are bloody awesome. Amazing songwriting, catchy riffs, and thematic material-these are in regular rotation; killer grabs
