DBC (Dead Brain Cells) is a Montreal, Canada thrash metal band formed in 1986 (initially as Final Chapter) by guitarists Eddie Shahini and Gerry Ouellette, who built their sound around technically driven, politically engaged thrash with an undercurrent of dark humor. Their self-titled debut (1987) was a crossover thrash statement, while the follow-up Universe (1989) marked a significant leap into progressive and science fiction-themed technical thrash. The band toured alongside Slayer, Death, Cannibal Corpse, and fellow Canadian thrash acts Voivod and Razor before dissolving in 1991. Their complete discography, including archival demos, was reissued by Divebomb Records, giving the catalog renewed attention from technical thrash enthusiasts.
