Blue Oyster Cult and Manowar alumni insure this music lies somewhere between classic hard rock and classic metal with lots of blazing guitar and without growling or screaming, although the lyrics tackle dark subject matter the energy of the songs conveys
Editorial review
Well, it's about time. The Dictators and Blue ?yster Cult traveled in the same proto-punk circles in early-'70s New York City, sharing a producer, management, and a general trash-is-good aesthetic, but the strict demarcations between jokey metal (BOC) and jokey punk (Handsome Dick and the boys) grew too wide for the bands to truly come together at the time. Of course, now that it's next to impossible to tell the difference between most hardcore and metal bands, it makes perfect sense for Dictators guitarist Ross the Boss to join Albert Bouchard and Deborah Frost's revamped Brain Surgeons, and the new lineup does everybody a world of good. Ross the Boss has lost none of his grunge-pop chops, and his guitar is all over Denial of Death, making the album sound far more raw and immediate than any of the Brain Surgeons' previous work. The new energy has particularly revitalized Frost, whose spitfire vocals have never sounded so good. Much like BOC, the Brain Surgeons have always navigated a tricky line between thoughtful lyrics that verge on pretentious and wry sarcasm that too many listeners mistake for sincerity, but the balance is largely right on these serious but hard-rocking tunes. ~ Stewart Mason, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
If you thought you knew Brain Surgeons NYC or any of its members in any other life, Denial of Death screams: THINK AGAIN. Nothing these people have done with or without one another prepared even themselves for the songs or the shows (and this is a band that must be experienced live to be fully appreciated) they’ve created since the night Deborah Frost, after working on 2005’s To Helen With Love: The Concert DVD and confronting the chemical reaction between herself and another New York native, throttled Albert Bouchard awake insisting, “I have only one thing to say to you: ROSS THE BOSS!” To which Albert replied, “Why didn’t I think of that?”
Actually, he had.
