1987 was a big year for Canadian thrash. Bands like Voivod, Razor, Piledriver and Sacrifice had already done the groundwork over the previous few years but 1987 would be the year that saw the local scene taking the next step in its evolution with a new generation of bands making their initial forays into the world of recorded music.

D.B.C. had only formed in February of the previous year but had wasted no time in delivering their self-titled debut album in partnership with well-respected New York metal label Combat Records who had already made quite a name for themselves in the underground scene. Combat brought in experienced campaigners Steve Sinclair & Randy Burns to handle the production & engineering duties; each possessing some imposing resumes. It almost sounds too good to believe for a young Canadian band that had yet to make a name for themselves but such was the scenario D.B.C. saw themselves in when they made their way into the studio for the first time.

This is some top notch thrash right here which sees Dead Brain Cells and Universe sitting very comfortably under the ‘undiscovered gem’ banner.
