Just an interim update on the new Brainclaw album’s progress…

John Ruszin has been doing an insane job of adding guitar tracks to the completed songs on the new Brainclaw release. We’re nearing completion, and the tracks are sounding amazing.

The great thing about John is that he’s a musician’s guitar player. He can play waht needs to be played, and that is especially crucial on this recording. This is going to be a hard electro-industrial release, and his guitar fits the songs perfectly.

John knows exactly how to play, what to play and has a palette of sounds that integrate perfectly with Brainclaw’s electronics.

So please enjoy this surprise sample from the new album, the song “Matte Black Smile.”

We will be gearing up for summer shows with John on board to tour the new release.

Thanks to all of you for your support and patience through the album composition process!

We here at the Brainclaw Enclave are pleased to present a sneak-peek at a song from the upcoming Brainclaw release.

Here, for your listening pleasure, is the new song, “Desperate Measures” which will be featured on the new Brainclaw CD.

Desperate Measures (192kbps mp3 file)

The album writing is coming along well, and this release is taking shape as a much harder-edged, angrier recording than either of the previous releases.

There are about 8 completed songs, with various other tunes in multiple stages of completion at this point. Videos for several of the new songs are under construction as well.

You can expect more Brainclaw live shows as the weather cools, so check out the Performance page for those dates in the Fall.

Keep tuned to this channel for updates on this release and other Brainclaw news.

Thanks again to all of you who have been keeping in touch with us during the writing phase and we look forward to seeing many of you soon!

DJ Led Manville from Madrid, Spain has released a very cool megamix of the Covenant song “One World One Sky” mixed together with the Brainclaw instrumental “Icarus Wings“.

Led has been remixing for many years, and has a massive amount of material in his catalog, including remixes for just about every major electronic artist out there.

The two songs blend really well, and Manville creates a seamless mix that moves back and forth between the two songs. At certain points it almost seems like Eskil Simonsson is singing inside “Icarus Wings!” Very cool.

The megamix appears on his Versus Satanicus CD, available from his site for listening.

You can hear/download the full mix here.

Many thanks to DJ Led for this cool new use of an old Brainclaw favorite.
