Dr. Shrinker has been played on NTS shows including A Fist in the Face of God presents: Midnite Madness, with Germ Farm first played on 3 March 2021.

Formed in 1987 and based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Dr. Shrinker was, for the most part, an obscure death metal group, only coming to wider attention with the release of a posthumous split EP with Nunslaughter and a discography CD, released in 2004 by Necroharmonic Productions. Three of the group's members (Tony Brandt, Scott McKillop, Matt Grassberger) would also played in Phantasm (US), a group in some ways similar to Dr. Shrinker, and released their debut album "The Abominable".
