Brutal Brain Damage

Brutal Brain Damage was a Portuguese grindcore/death metal band formed in 2011 and based in Caxarias and later Ourém, Santarém. Known for their aggressive style incorporating themes of death, they released projects like the *Bang Bang Theory* album (2016) and splits/EPs including *Grindhouse* (2015), *Brain Soup*, and *Borderline Syndrome*. Their lineup featured members like guitarist Marco Martins (later of Analepsy) and drummer Tiago Correia, with a sound rooted in relentless blasting sections and raw intensity characteristic of the genre. The band’s discography, including their Bandcamp releases, reflects their grindcore ethos, though they’ve since split up.

They collaborated on splits like *Grindhouse* and maintained a DIY approach through labels like Vomit Your Shirt and Miasma Records. Their social media presence and Bandcamp page highlight their focus on underground distribution, though specific biographical details about members beyond Marco Martins remain scarce in available records.
