First came the blinding flash of light. Then came the mushroom cloud, and then finally came the sound-pressure wave which rippled across the already destroyed landscape like a featherduster on a high shelf. The citys remaining population took little notice of this event, save for the fact that the shockwave detached some of their limbs and disrupted the proceedings of their ongoing competition. Fortunately, the Undead Champions League had a procedure for such an event - competitors knocked off of gym equipment could resume their series of reps with no penalty, while those who experienced partial dismemberment would be repaired and given a 15-minute break to allow time for the proper reintegration of the limb. There was, after all, no worry for any lack of time. Many had passed in the initial attack years ago, but a select few who had been closest to the center of the blast had experienced a profound transformation in the instant that they were stripped of their flesh, as an extreme macrodose of radiation unlocked latent psionic energies in their brains. They were all who remained of what had once been the human race, and in their newfound forms, they continued to find joy as they once had with tests of sportsmanship and skill now unbound by the evils of musculature and the lactic acid it produced. Undead Championship League matches could last for weeks, and as competitor #38 counted his 89,072nd pull-up on the high bar, the skeletal forms of the survivors erupted into a rattling chatter of cheers - a new world record of psionic power & mental fortitude had just been reached! NAIS returns to EATBRAIN with PULL UP, flexing his sound design muscles to present an impressive display of four-neurofunk sequences sure to inspire fervent dancefloor workouts for the fleshy bodies of the EATBRAIN horde.

The mask had lain dormant for some time, a sacred relic hidden away within the temples labyrinthine depths. It lay in waiting for one who could bear its visage once more. For ages, there had been none of the constitution required to assume its otherworldly mantle. Many avaricious initiates to the faith had tried, only to watch in horror as their bodies were enervated by the masks mystical energies, crumbling into dust and death at the foot of the altar, atop which it did rest. The high priests of the temple sought its powers not, for they were of the wisdom to know that even their lifetimes of devotion would not grant them the masks power. Thus it was when the doors to the sanctum burst open to the cacophonous sounds of battle, and thus it was that the grand prelate of the temple grasped the mask in a moment of singular desperation. In an instant, the prelates skull was molded to fit the image of the mask, which suffused its metallic surface upon his face to replace the skin that had defined it since birth. The prelates eyes took on a hue of faded gold, and through his veins ran an amber blood that projected its radiance in rivulets upon his skin. As the first of the temples invaders set foot within the sanctum the prelate began chanting in a language he knew not, and before him the vigour was sapped from the brazen assailant, who soon crumpled under the weight of the armour that he wore. As the rest of the warband began to charge across the threshold of the sanctums door, the prelate gaze set their eyes ablaze with a heavenly fire that burst from their skulls whilst the incantations uttered by his droning voice turned the attackers swords upon themselves. In only a moment, the invaders fell defeated upon the temple floor, their bodies dissolving into dust before the power of the masks MYTHIC IMAGE. The prophesied bearer of the relic had now come, and the time of DIVINE RETRIBUTION was at hand. MYTHIC IMAGE make their return to EATBRAIN with DIVINE RETRIBUTION. The four-track EP burns with the sonic fury that its name suggests and with these sonics MYTHIC IMAGE rally the fervor of the EATBRAIN horde beneath their unmistakable auditory countenance as they unleash DIVINE RETRIBUTION upon dancefloors far & wide.

#72 Feat. Staff Picks in Drum & Bass

One day from the depths of space had hurtled a brilliant streak of light above the jungle sky, a piece of cosmic debris born of another world that fell to the surface of the isolated planetoid with blinding flair. Impacting within the dense foliage of the planetoids vast cloud forests, the alien object emitted a thunderous sound unlike any that had ever been uttered there before. To this, the inhabitants of the forest responded with both awe and curiosity, and from the valleys below they set off on an expedition to discover the source of such sonorous power. Upon reaching the lost artifact, the expedition marveled at its sheer size and construction - a gigantic metal enclosure that housed a conical form of an impossibly smooth material. Stranger still, the sky-fallen device would intermittently emit another sort of thunderous sound from within its core, shaking the bodies of all those who stood before it with what seemed to be an echo of its impact upon the planetoids surface. To the members of the expedition, such a cosmic source of sonic power could have been brought to them only by the divine provenance of their chief deity, the selfsame who brought rains and created similar booming sounds in the skies above their home. This finding redoubled in those gathered their faith in this great deity, and with resolve to haul this massive gift it had bestowed upon them back to their home valleys below, the worship of his BASS CULT had begun. MNDSCP debuts the first single from his forthcoming album with BASS CULT as the EATBRAIN veteran calls the labels horde to gather before his altar of auditory expertise, preparing them for the onslaught of low-end frequencies that is yet to come. written by Gwen Kubik

Long forgotten amidst the cragged slope of a dormant volcano, the ruins of an ancient temple stood firm in silent reverence. A millennia of lava flows had reforged its walls time and time again, warping the structures dimensions each time as stone was birthed and culled by the forces that were its primordial progenitor. For thousands of years this cycle had raged at the edges of the temple compound, and yet for thousands of years one singular structure had remained - the great bronze idol of the temples forgotten patron deity, untouched by the tongues of raging flame. There had been no true supplicants for hundreds of years, and only a scant few visitors had ever braved the rigorous journey along the obsidian-clad spines that lay below the temple even to simply gaze upon its ruined form. Thus it was that when a lone traveler clad in orange robes entered the inner transept of the Temple, his bare feet bloodied from the pilgrimage, the long-smoldering flame of devotion roared to life behind the eyes of the great statue as the volcanic ground quivered expectantly beneath it. With ritual pilgrimage completed by this stranger, a new age could now begin. Under the Gydras watchful eye, the lava would run again. GYDRA make a triumphant return to EATBRAIN as they reignite the flame of LAVA RUN, delivering a VIP mix of the famed track to delight of the EATBRAIN hordes eager ears. Meanwhile, label boss JADE unveils JADE VENOM and adapts the serpentine qualities of his new alias to remix GYDRAs IKRA, perhaps the most storied track within the labels extensive catalog. Together, the pairing makes for a release of unstoppable power, celebrating all that is EATBRAIN from front to back. Written by Gwen Kubik
