Brain Stem

**Brain Stem** is the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Matt Bishop, a one-man deathgrind powerhouse cranking out chaotic, sci-fi-themed brutality since the project’s inception. Blending hyperspeed riffage, guttural vocals, and dystopian lyricism, Brain Stem’s sound feels like a spaceship collision between old-school grindcore and futuristic annihilation. Recent drops like *Intergalactic Cattle* and the two-part *Symptoms of Annihilation* series showcase Bishop’s knack for weaving intergalactic horror stories into compact, skull-caving tracks, all while handling every instrument himself. Perfect for fans of unrelenting, DIY extremity with a cosmic twist.
