sHIT for bRAINS: Head melting thrash metal.


sHIT for bRAINS was forged together in January 1993 by Matthias Hechler (guitars, vocals), Sanjai Shah (drums), Michael Rohr (vocals) and Gernot Leinert (bass).

Within only a few months they wrote and produced their first CD lukewarm, containing unique compositions of brutal, down to earth thrash-metal with a good portion of progressive influences. In 1997 they followed up with their second 12-track album Vortex cordis, which was recorded and produced in Andy Classen's (ex-Holy Moses) well-established metal and hardcore Stage One-Studio (Germany). Vortex cordis was highly acclaimed throughout the German metal press and provided the band a record deal with Rawk-Records.

In numerous club-events, concerts and large festivals sHIT for bRAINS raised attention and played along other famous german metal bands like Disbelief, Crematory, Hate Squad und Tankard.

In 1998 came a temporary disbanding as the members were individually engaged and involved in other musically successful, international projects and bands (Richthofen, Century und Crematory). Eventually, sHIT for bRAINS members coined new mutual metal projects (BrotherCain 1999 - 2000, Crack a Smile 2001 - 2006) and an additional guitarist Jan Fendler teamed up, so the band was ready to announce their official reunion in 2006.

With their latest album release Broken Vow sHIT for bRAINS offers a completely independent and entirely self produced and designed piece of intense metal music and (art)work.
