[PRESS RELEASE]

Scottish death metal act CEREBRAL BORE have released a new music video for the track "Maniacal Miscreation", the title track from the band's debut album.

The video for "Maniacal Miscreation" was filmed with director PHIL BERRIDGE of CREATIVE JUNKIE MEDIA - who was also responsible for the band's first video, "The Bald Cadaver".

Watch the new official music video for "Maniacal Miscreation" now below:


CEREBRAL BORE frontwoman SIMONE "SOM" PLUIJMERS comments:

"Shooting the video for 'Maniacal Miscreation' was great but very cold; you can see the blood pulling out of our white, freezing faces. Compared to the video for 'The Bald Cadaver', we were done within no time, as we all knew what to do and what to expect.

"For the ones who have seen our new music video, you can already see what it is about. Basically to put it between short lines, it's about a 'tar man' who is the maniacal miscreation. Also, you might have noticed there are again photos in the video as we did in 'The Bald Cadaver' - we try not to have too serious videos, so a laugh is needed on its time! This time we put down a contest on Facebook: 'Get your grandparents in our new music video'. The people you see on the photos are: Susan Boyle (we, again, needed something Scottish in it for a laugh), Putrid Pile (Shaun)'s grandpa, and two others I can't remember the names of.

"It was a good laugh and you might see 'making of' footage of the video soon or on an upcoming DVD somewhere in the future! We hope you all enjoy our video."

CEREBRAL BORE drummer ALLAN MCDIBET adds:

"It was cold, a bitch to shoot. But it was fucking awesome!"

Genre: Brutal Death Metal

Label: Earache Records

Re-released: April 11th, 2011

Reviewer: Karim Tarek

Hailing from Glasgow, Scotland since 2006, Cerebral Bore is a relentless quartet offering heavy dosages of gory Brutal Death Metal. Surprisingly, they feature a female vocalist, Simone "Som" Pluijmers, who is pretty much some kind of supernatural compared to other females who hardly endeavor to perform harsh vocals. The band also has Paul McGuire on guitar, Kyle Rutherford on bass, and Allan "McDibet" MacDonald on drums, a squadron that I find so homogeneous and effort-exerting.

I find Cerebral Bore so influenced by the American-branded gore-related Brutal Death Metal; band examples being: Devourment, Putrefy, Disgorge, Pathology, Gorgasm, and I can go on on this forever, but I guess you just got my point, which is that Cerebral Bore play that kind of gory Brutal Death Metal that is considerably Goregrind-tinged, so let’s just say “…etc.”

On their debut full-length, “Maniacal Miscreation”, Cerebral Bore exerted a lot of effort that should draw your attention from the first listen and pull kudos from you. They also managed not to totally stick to the Slam Death Metal class, but rather introduced a handful of consummate diversification into the music that should keep you amused.

Quite frankly, I’m not much into that kind of Death Metal, simply because I find most of it lacking the appropriate musical value, creativity, and skills exhibition. I definitely prefer the very intricate, very tight, polished-sounding, and high quality/glossy-produced kind of Brutal Death Metal. If you’re a bit uneasy about that description, simply relate to bands like: Nox, Prostitute Disfigurement, Hour Of Penance, Aeon, Vile, Origin, and Kronos for instance. Nevertheless, I still found Cerebral Bore’s “Maniacal Miscreation” more entertaining and enjoyable than most of other gory Brutal Death Metal records. So, I’m talking here about something I like from the thing that I don’t originally like. Secret behind that being that Cerebral Bore use reasonable amounts of pretty much everything, and they’re always keeping a skillful grip on everything; you almost don’t find too much of Goregrind and Slam Death Metal elements, and that’s what I most appreciate about the music on “Maniacal Miscreation”, the restraint from being a 100% Goregrind or Slam Death Metal album, or having excessive abominable Brutal Death Metal tunes.

Vocals are an evident example for what I'm trying to communicate; Simone manages not to stick to a constant tone, but rather changes every once in a while, according to the transitions; you can find plenty of vocal styles here, she suddenly changes from deep, very deep growls, to lower-pitched growls, to high-pitched pig squeals, to down-tempo Deathcore-like growls, to typical pig squeals (what a super woman)… and so on. I mean, if she only used her very deep growls throughout the whole album, I would have got bored quickly, as I normally don’t enjoy such particular kind of vocals, and, conversely; if she used only pig squeals, I would have been bummed as badly.

Coming to focus on the music, I find that Cerebral Bore have good potential for producing heavy and vociferous Death Metal; some guitar riffs are pretty good, some technical guitar notes are amusing, some drum lines are cool, and most importantly, Kyle Rutherford is making himself an evident presence by backing up the music so fittingly, and adding some slick parts that showcase his skills. He deserves thumbs up for that.

After all, still I consider “Maniacal Miscreation” a mediocre output from a diligent band that are trying to get into the big scene by slightly adding some antics of theirs into a stereotypical type of music. It should be very enjoyable for fans of a band like Amputated Genitals, but as for me, this didn’t have its appeal for me nor got me any charmed, but nevertheless, it can still be sorted as “something not typical”.

Highlights: Epileptic Strobe Entrapment.

"It's hard to describe how proud we are to sign with Earache Records. Being at the same starting blocks as bands like Carcass, Morbid Angel, Decapitated and Napalm Death, is something that we have always worked hard since the beginning to achieve, and finally being at this point with the band, to us is just phenomenal.

"Going from having just one EP to having our debut album on a major death metal label used to be something we dreamed about, and it's hard to believe that it's actually happening! So we can't wait to get out on tour in 2011 and promote our debut album under the Earache banner."
