What happens when you spend too much time living at home in your parents’ basement staying up far too late watching cheesy alien invasion movies from the 60s? You become a large tub of lard that only leaves the house to attend Star Trek conventions dressed like a fat Tron, that is, unless, you have a drum machine, a guitar and a penchant for poorly tuned chaotic goregrind. The latter is the case for Gigantic Brain, although that still doesn’t mean there aren’t any fat Tron outfits in his closet, however, what is known, is the music he single-handedly creates is some of the most bizarre, infectious slabs of sheer pummeling chaotic insanity. From the moment you press play you feel as though at any moment a large-headed short green man will come for you to inflict some thorough and violent probings on your rectal regions. Don’t be fooled by image, however, Gigantic Brain is no joke. This outfit is drum-machine fueled lo-fi goregrind with an eerie atmosphere straight from the movies, only, instead of the comical cheesiness of low budget sci-fi, Gigantic Brain will literally make your skin crawl and your bowels shift your breakfast burrito 8 inches closer to painting your Calvin Kleins. The music is so ridiculously heavy and catchy that you can’t help but want to destroy all humans. Clocking in at just 59 minutes for 63 tracks, there are a lot of super short songs that are little more than filler material, but contained on this single shiny disc is a lot of really solid music, the best of which is the new material, the stuff from Our Bovine Destroyers and a lot of the 23 previously unreleased tracks, but, oddly enough, you can’t go bored for more than 30 seconds on this disc, for every one bland filler track, there’s 8 tracks tearing your intestines to shreds. Somehow Gigantic Brain was even able to include music from classic 80s video games, make it fit the music and make it sound like pure evil. While comparisons can be made to bands like Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Catasexual Urge Motivation and other noisy grinders, Gigantic Brain is a completely separate entity and amazingly unique in a genre plagued with unoriginality. The Invasion Discography is not to be taken lightly. I, for one, am now a converted believer in the mighty Gigantic Brain. It is now my mission in life to convert as many as I can into believers. Goregrind will never be the same after Gigantic Brain enters your life. Let the violent probing begin!!!
