Introducing: BRUTUS

1

Belgium’s heavy atmospheric trio BRUTUS announce the release of their debut album ‘BURST’ for February 24th 2017 via Hassle Records. Watch the powerful new video for lead single ‘All Along’ on YouTube here and catch them live through the UK from March 2017.

Hailing from Leuven, Belgium, BRUTUS create a pummelling, meteor-shower of sound. Singing drummer Stefanie Mannaerts mixes black-metal blast beats with math-rock flourishes whilst belting the most impassioned vocals, shifting from deceptively melodic to out-right larynx-punishing in the blink of an eye, whilst guitarist Stijn Vanhoegaerden takes ethereal post-rock tones to hardcore punk levels of speed and energy aside Peter Mulders powerful sub-frequency shift. The three collide to make a sound as monolithic and frantic as it is emotive.

Pre-order ‘Burst’ now from iTunes here – http://smarturl.it/Burst_iT or the band’s official store here – http://smarturl.it/Burst_Store.

Catch Brutus live at the following UK dates in March 2017.

All Them Witches announce new album with Kerrang!

All Them Witches

Following three European tours in 2016 alone, Nashville-based psych-rock quartet All Them Witches will return with their new album Sleeping Through The War via New West Records on February 24th, 2017.

Lead single ‘Bruce Lee’ is a perfect distillation of their aesthetic – whirlwind guitars, way out vocals and propulsive rhythms that recall Springsteen’s late-night power drives as much as they do Kyuss riding into the blood-red sunset. Watch it right now over at Kerrang.com!

Sleeping Through The War will be available digitally, on compact disc, and LP and is now available for pre-order here.
