Biography
Cerebral Bore are a death metal band based in Glasgow, Scotland. Although the name was used with different members in 2004, the Cerebral Bore that exists now wasn't born until 2006. From then, the main focus of the band has been to write brutal music and bring it to metal fans all over the planet.
The band recorded the E.P. The Dead Flesh Architect in November 2006, and played their first show the same month.
For the next few months they played only in their home town, and made their first steps out of Scotland in June 2007, playing in Belfast, Northern Ireland. And then made their first impression on the UK scene in July 2007, playing in London alongside Dead Infection, Beef Conspiracy and Amputated, and heading to Newcastle the day after to play at the Blastonbury Festival in support of Anal Cunt as well as dozens more.
Staying true to their early ambitions of taking their music as far and wide as they could, in August 2007 the band were booked to play in New York City, USA after having a song played on mainstream metal radio in NY.
On their first trip outside Britain, they shared the stage with bands like Mortician, Deceased and Criminal Element in the Mean Fiddler in Manhattan New York, where they were watched by Type O Negative frontman, Pete Steele.

As well as playing in support of some of the biggest bands in the genre, including Origin, Suffocation, Mortician, Insidious Decrepancy, Waking The Cadaver and Devourment to name a few.
