He started playing bass in 1987 and wanted to pursue a career in music, so after graduating high school he moved to San Francisco Bay Area and met Craig Locicero from the band Forbidden.
After Heathen, VieBrooks went on to be the original bassist for Grip Inc., the band formed by Slayer's Dave Lombardo and Voodoocult guitarist Waldemar Sorychta.
That lineup also did three tours, one of the US with Morbid Angel, one supporting Motörhead in Europe and another co-headlining with German band Kreator.
Together, they formed a band called LOWA and recorded a demo, but before anything could happen, Tucker left to join the Nader Sadek project.
[4] They had since reformed and recorded The Evolution of Chaos with Jon Torres on bass, but he was no longer able to tour so Heathen wanted VieBrooks back.
In 2016, he joined the Cincinnati-based band War Curse and did several shows and a small East Coast tour run.
The lineup features Dan Nelson (formerly of Anthrax), Vinnie LaBella (Exhorder) and Sasha Horn (former Forbidden drummer).
