Dr. Shrinker (band)

American death metal band From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dr. Shrinker is an American death metal band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, formed in October 1987. The obscure band came to wider attention with the release of a posthumous split EP with Nunslaughter and a discography CD, released in 2004 by Necroharmonic Productions.[2] Three of the group's members (Tony Brandt, Scott McKillop, Matt Grassberger) played in Phantasm, a group similar to Dr. Shrinker, and released their debut album, The Abominable.
