 
Infected Brain are located in Borne, a small
town south of Magdeburg, Germany. We play brutal
Death Metal including everything from slow
groovy parts to high speed blast beats. The
blast and up-tempo parts make up most of our
music, but we always try to keep it interesting
and most important: mosh-able. After all, we
want to have fun playing this stuff, and we want
the people to enjoy themselves while listening
to us. The band members are: Vocals:
Torsten Schmidt Guitar: Enrico Drachau Guitar:
Hannes Bärmann Bass: Wolfram Fenske Drums:
Carsten Fenske.
We have played
live gigs together with: Manos, Vulgar
Degenerate, Gorezone, Requiem, Gomorrha,
Fleshless, Purulent, Bombthreat, Recapture,
Lycantroph, Inmost Dense, Himmelfahtskommando
(HFK), Trailz O.D., Sanitys Dawn, Harmony Dies,
Fearer, Cunt Grinder, Uppercut, Defloration,
Insision and others. We’ve also played at some
festivals, including shows in Czechia and
Slovakia. On of the finest moments in our live
career was reaching the quarterfinals of the
“Local Heroes” competition in 2002.
Our band history starts in 1993. The band was
called Braindead back then, and 2 demo tapes
were recorded. In 1998 guitar player David quit,
and the band dissolved.
About one year later, bass player Enrico
re-founded the band, but this time taking over
the guitar. Drums (Andreas) and vocals (Torsten)
remained unchanged, a new bass player (Erik) was
found, and the band was called INFECTED BRAIN.
In May 2000 they recorded an MCD entitled
“Hate One”, and a few months later second
guitarist Hannes joined the band. This line-up
was quite stable for a while, but in 2004
drummer Andreas quit because of musical
differences. He was immediately replaced by our
current drummer Carsten, but shortly after that
bass player Erik quit, too, and so we are
looking for a new bass player at the moment.
Our new album includes 12 songs and clocks in at
about 40 minutes. It was recorded in our
rehearsal room and mixed by our drummer’s
brother Wolf. Many of the songs were written
about 5 years ago, some even earlier – we just
never managed to put them on a CD before. Now
that this material is finally recorded, we’re
very pleased with the result, but of course our
music has changed a little in the meantime. The
new stuff is definitely faster than what we’ve
done before, but there’ll be some other new
elements as well. Song-writing for the next
album is about finished, and we’ve already
started recording again, so it shouldn’t take
that long this time!
