Cerebral Bore

Cerebral Bore are a brutal death metal band from Glasgow, United Kingdom. The group begins in 2004 under the same name with a different line-up, but the line-up associated with the band’s main activity takes shape in 2006. The band is active from 2004 to 2014 and is associated with brutal death metal and death metal.

Career

The band’s early focus is on writing and performing aggressive death metal, and they record the EP The Dead Flesh Architect in November 2006. They play their first show in the same month. For the next few months they play mainly in Glasgow before moving beyond Scotland in June 2007 with a performance in Belfast. In July 2007 they appear in London with Dead Infection, Beef Conspiracy and Amputated, then travel to Newcastle the following day for Blastonbury Festival in support of Anal Cunt.

In August 2007 the band plays in New York City after one of their songs is played on metal radio there. On that first trip outside Britain they share a bill at the Mean Fiddler in Manhattan with Mortician, Deceased and Criminal Element, and are watched by Pete Steele of Type O Negative. Around this period they face line-up problems when their frontman leaves only weeks before the American tour, and the issue continues until November 2007, when they find a new frontman.

Cerebral Bore continue to tour through the UK, supporting acts including Origin, Gorerotted, Napalm Death, The Black Dahlia Murder and Brutal Truth. In early 2008 they are invited to play Central Illinois Metal Fest in the United States and instead arrange a second American tour. That tour lasts six weeks and takes them from Las Vegas to New York City, with shows alongside California bands Inherit Disease and Condemned, and with support slots for Origin, Suffocation, Mortician, Insidious Decrepancy, Waking the Cadaver and Devourment.

Later activity

After returning home, the band tour Switzerland within two weeks and appear at Mountains of Death Open Air Festival in the Swiss Alps alongside Cephalic Carnage, Despised Icon, Inveracity and Misery Index. They also continue regular shows across the UK and Ireland with bands such as Reth, Infected Disarray and Introrectalgestation. In December 2008 they travel to Portugal for Butchery at Xmastime in Guarda, where they play with Macabre. By 2009 they have shows arranged in Greece, Finland, Russia, France, Germany, Italy and Switzerland, as well as UK tours with Putrid Pile and Viral Load.
