Dead by Dawn - _After I Eat Your Brains_
(Independent, 1997)
by: Adrian Bromley (1 out of 10)

Oh my GOD! Could we not be more of a blatant rip-off of 'shock rocker' Marilyn Manson, but with more of a 'cock-rock' hard rock edge to it? Toronto four-piece Dead by Dawn are on a trip to nowhere with their lame attempt to even strive to find any kind of originality within their nasty/scary image and sound. Lame, lame, lame. The gimmicks of being nasty and rude don't really do much to their credibility of being reckless rebels or whatever they are trying to be. The music? Well... let's just say they are in a class all of their own. The lyrics? Next. Even the whole schtick of dressing up all sinister (as seen in the liner sleeve photos) looks staged. Is it Halloween? I dunno man, but someone has to draw the line here and tell this band to get a new sound and style before they get more reviews like this one. I would say 'sorry' but that would mean I didn't really mean what I said and that ain't the case here.
