"Necessity is the mother of invention, if by invention you mean coming up with the title of our first album..." says Brainhammer lead guitarist F.U. Stanton.
"We had 10 great tracks in the can for the album, but the record company didn't think we had anything with ' 'hit single' potential. We were trying out different riffs, lyrics etc. when (Will) Reaper (Jones - guitarist) comes in with a new effects pedal that made everything sound super-demonic. He wants to his DIY pedal board so he can jam with it. He's fixing it in with 2x4s and a nail gun, but he can't stop talking about this bloody pedal, when you hear something that sounds like a staple into a sirloin steak. He mentions something about having a headache, then conks out. Turns out he had the nail gun turned the wrong way and..." F.U. stops for a second, smiles and shakes his head, then continues.
"... if he had been a centimetre to the left, he would've shish-kebabed his brain. We never left his side when he was in the hospital, but still needed one more song and didn't have a album title or cover art. Reaper started going on like, 'all I wanted to do was nail it down...' and that was it. We wrote and recorded the track in a day - and in 'Reap's hospital room - and charmed his 'doc into giving over his skull x-ray. The rest is history."
