Brain Dead is a Thrash old school metal band from Ivrea, a small town not far from Turin, in Northern Italy.
The band was founded in May 2000 by Felix Liuni (vocals) and Daniele Vitello (lead and rhythm guitar).Haron Zorzi (bass) and Daniel Giovanetto (drums) joined the band to complete the line-up.
Inspired by the bay area thrash metal sound of the 80s (especially by Exodus, Annihilator, Testament and Slayer), Brain Dead tried to stand out from the crowd and create their own sound.
Their first demo "Rage of Thrash", saw the light in September 2001; their second demo "Double Face", came out on March 2003.
In November 2008 the band signed for the Italian label Punishment 18 Records for the release of their debut album "IN THE DEEP OF VORTEX".
In the summer of 2012 Davide Ricca joined the band in order to replace Danilo Bonuso and becoming the second official guitarist.
In april 2013 Haron Zorzi left the band for personal reasons and in may 2013 Alberto Rossetti replaced him.
The band started the recording process of the new album under the guidance of CARLO "FAJO" GIRARDI, the release is expected to be in autumn 2013 with the label PUNISHMENT18 RECORDS … stay fucking thrash!!!
