NEUROBLAST

SPRING OF '96 WAS THE INCEPTION OF NEUROBLAST IN ATLANTA GEORGIA. THE ORIGINAL LINEUP WAS FORMED FROM HIGHSCHOOL FRIENDS JUSTIN NAYLON DRUMS (WHO HAD PLAYED GUITAR FOR GRUNGE PUPPY, DISEMBOWEL, NARCOLEPSY AND LATER SWITCHED TO DRUMS FOR NEUROBLAST), JEREMY BROOKS GUITAR, ALEX KAISER, GUITAR AND JOE BAUER, BASS. NUMEROUS CHANGES TOOK PLACE AFTER THE ORIGINAL LINEUP AND AFTER TEMPORARILY RELOCATING THE BAND TO SAVANNAH GEORGIA AND LATER THE STICKS IN A STATESBORO TRAILOR PARK THEY PISSED OFF ALL REDNECK NEIGHBORS AND LOCAL POLICE STATIONS AND EVENTUALLY RELOCATED BACK TO ATLANTA AGAIN. WITH THE ADDITIONS OF BARRY SCARBOROUGH; BACKING VOCALS & GUITAR, J.B. (JAMES BALSALMO) BASS AND VIRTUALLY A DIFFERENT VOCALIST EACH SHOW THE NEW LINEUP SPAWNED A BRUTALITY THAT SOON BECAME KNOWN TO ATLANTA DEATH METAL CROWDS. OPENING FOR ACTS SUCH AS CRYPTOPSY, DYING FETUS, DIVINE EMPIRE, VADER, & GORGUTS, NEUROBLAST BLASTED IT'S WAY INTO THE DEATH METAL SCENE. THEY PLAYED NUMEROUS SHOWS SUCH AS MURDER-MIDTOWN AND THE INTERNATIONAL EXTREME MUSIC FESTIVAL. THEY RECORDED THE DEMO "ANAL EROSION THROUGH PROJECTILE DIARREAH" IN SPRING 98. BUT BEFORE IT COULD BE RELEASED THE BAND SPLIT UP. LEAVING 8 TRACKS OF GUITAR AND DRUMS BUT NO VOCALS AND BASS. ONCE AGAIN THIS LEFT NEUROBLAST TO SEEK NEW MEMBERS. THE BAND CONTINUED WRITING AND RECORDING AND SOON LATER RELEASED AN EP "MILLINEM BEYOND COMPREHENSION" IN 99. WITH ORIGINAL BASSIST JOE BAUER WHO THEN REJOINED THE BAND AND THE THIRD NEUROBLAST RECORDING "CYBERGENIC LOBOTOMY" WAS RECORDED IN SPRING 2000. JOE THAN QUIT THE BAND PRIVIOUS TO THE RECORDING OF THE TECHNOLOGOCAL GENOCIDE CD TO PURSUE OTHER GOALS WITH SIGNS OF DYING. . JEREMY BROOKS THEN RELOCATED TO NORTH CAROLINA WITH JUSTIN NAYLON STILL IN ATLANTA AND NEUROBLAST CONTINUED TO WRITE AND RECORD, DESPITE THE DISTANCE AND RELOCATION. THEIR 4TH STUDIO RECORDING WITH MAIN MEMBERS JUSTIN NAYLON ON DRUMS AND JEREMY BROOKS ON GUITAR, BASS AND SYNTH UTILIZING BARRY SCARLOSBORO FOR VOCALS DUTIES. THIS RELEASE IN 2002 ENTITLED "TECHNOLOGICAL GENOCIDE" WAS RECORDED AGAIN AT LEDBELLY SOUND IN ATLANTA AND FEW COPIES WERE DISTRIBUTED TO THE CLOSE FRIENDS AND THE UNDERGROUND. THE LINEUP HESITATED ON PLAYING SHOWS BECAUSE OF OTHER GOALS BUT CONTINUED TO WRITE MORE AND MORE MUSIC AND SOON HAD 6 MORE SONGS FOR YET ANOTHER EP THAT WAS RECORDED AT LED BELLY SOUND AND ENTITLED "ATMOSPHERIC TELEPORTATION." IN 2003. THE PRODUCTION WAS THE STUDIOS FIRST ATTEMPT TO RECORD DIGITALLY AS ALL PREVIOUS RECORDINGS WERE ADAT AND THE STUDIO PROVED UNSUCESSFUL AS THEIR WERE POPS AND SCRATCHES THROUGHOUT THE TRACKS THAT MADE THE SESSION ALLTHOUGH NOT UNBEARABLE BUT ANNOYING AND WAS NOT RELEASED. THEY WROTE 4 MORE SONGS AND PLAYED THEIR FIRST SHOW BACK IN OVER 6 YEARS WITH VOCALIST BARRY SCAROSBORO ON MARCH 29TH 08 IN ATLANTA GEORGIA. AFTER ALMOST 8 YEARS, 40 + SONGS, AND ALMOST 100+ SHOWS UNDER THEIR BELT, NEUROBLAST CONTINUES TO BE A BUZZ IN THE UNDERGROUND SCENE AMONG SOME OF THE BEST BANDS IN THE SCENE TODAY AND IS BACK AND READY TO RELEASE THEIR MOST RECENT RELEASE (CURRENTLY UNTITLED) AND CONTINUE TO PLAY WHAT THEY LOVE MOST FOR THE UNDERGROUND METAL COMMUNITY!
