History
Cerebral Bore formed in 2006 in Glasgow, United Kingdom. In November that year, the band released a demo named The Dead Flesh Architect. The band's first trip outside of the United Kingdom took place in August 2007 and included New York City, United States, after having a song played on metal radio in N.Y. Following a U.K. tour, the band toured in the United States again, supporting Suffocation, Brutal Truth, and Devourment. Throughout 2009, Cerebral Bore toured in continental Europe, Scandinavia and Russia.[2]
In 2010, Cerebral Bore were joined by 18 year old Dutch vocalist Simone "Som" Pluijmers. The debut album Maniacal Miscreation was recorded in mid-2010 and self-released in a limited edition of 500 copies. Touring in Europe and summer festivals continued in 2010.[2] In December 2010, The band signed to Earache Records.[3] The debut album was released in June 2011.[4] Cerebral Bore released music videos for "The Bald Cadaver" and "Maniacal Miscreation".[5]
Following the band's last concert of their headlining U.S. and Mexico tour in mid-2011, while looking for a late-night snack, McGuire and Rutherford were falsely arrested and jailed by New York City police officers searching for a man who murdered four people in a Long Island pharmacy. A week later, they were formally released without charge and flown back to Scotland.[6][7]
Musical style
Allmusic praised the band's debut album that "combines death metal brutality with a surprising dose of melody and technical skill".[4] Blabbermouth stated about Maniacal Miscreation: "It is brutal death metal (BDM) with personality and compositional diversity. (...) Budding BDM acts looking to avoid getting lost in the herd should take careful notes when listening to this one."[1]
