International electromusic webzine Chain D.L.K. has posted a very positive review of the latest Brainclaw CD Dead Monsters.
Reviewer Marc Tater describes Dead Monsters in this manner: “A well worked out Electro/Industrial album with a rather American influence – also for BLC a welcomed development to release music besides the EBM/Dark Electro formula – while BRAINCLAW are able to deal with this styles, too. Thumbs up, good stuff!”
Head over to the Chain D.L.K. website to read the entire review, and make sure you look around a bit at this fantastic and comprehensive electromusic website.
Many thanks to Marc Tater and the crew at Chain D.L.K. for the wonderful review and great press.

We discovered some really fun things on YouTube.com over the weekend. It seems Brainclaw is not immune from the growing craze of homemade AMV, or Anime Music Videos.
Several people have taken the Brainclaw cover of “Mad World” (originally written and performed by Tears For Fears) and created cool AMVs using anime snippets from Elfen Lied and Naruto, among others.
Being big anime fans ourselves, we were psyched to see that the Brainclaw Virus has begun to penetrate the anime culture as well. This is an extremely interesting creative amalgamation that is ripe with possibility and we wholly endorse it! There has been some controversy over copyright issues when AMVs of some ‘big music groups’ get distributed on the web, but we see it as a cool way to gain even more exposure for The ‘Claw.
Feel free to hop on over to YouTube.com and check out the newest Brainclaw AMVs. There has always been talk here in the BC Enclave of producing a Brainclaw video using animation, and these AMVs have rejuvinated our interest in making one happen. We’re currently talking with two different animators regarding creation of animated music videos for songs from the Dead Monsters CD, so stay tuned for more details…
Big thanks go out to the crazy, creative people involved in this new type of guerrilla animation creation.

Here is the first really new Brainclaw offering since the Dead Monsters CD was released. Goth cabaret diva Nicki Jaine has provided a stellar vocal performance in a electro industrial reimagining of Gordon Lightfoot’s classic Seventies ballad, “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.”
Also appearing on the song is the wildly-talented Kyle Cassidy, with a blistering guitar execution that blends perfectly with Brainclaw’s signature electronics.
Nicki Jaine doesn’t only sing on this new track, she also played a rare instrument, the 28 inch Charlie Blacklock Special custom-made musical saw, which is featured in the choruses of the song.
You can hear an .mp3 of this new song right HERE, and you can download the full-quality 44/16 .aiff version HERE. Feel free to download and share to your heart’s content!
Many thanks to Nicki and Kyle for this fantastic collaborative effort.
