Brutus
rage like a maelstrom. They are a meteor shower of sound. This trio
from Leuven, Belgium create expansive, stratospheric punk not quite like
any other band around.

With post-rock construction, black metal
dynamics, hardcore energy, prog and math-rock flourishes and pure pop
melodies all detectable on their debut album Burst, Brutus manage to
straddle the significant divide between Slayer and Savages, The Smiths
and Slowdive, Dillinger Escape Plan and Deus - and all with just three
members expertly colluding to make a sound as monolithic as it is
emotive.

The searing, soaring guitars of shoegaze are amped up
to hardcore punk speed, drums gallop like wild horses over open larval
planes and drumming singer Stefanie Mannaerts offers some of the most
impassioned vocals heard in recent times, capable of shifting from
deceptively melodic to out-right larynx-punishing in the blink of an
eye.

In 2014 and 2015 they played mostly all over Belgium.
Pukkelpop, Rock Herk, Dour Festival, Boomtown, AB Club, Botanique,
Depot, Stuk, Trix, ... and more than 100 intense small shows.

In April 2016 Brutus decamped to Vancouver (Can) to record their
debut-album Burst with Jesse Gander (White Lung, Japandroids) It was a
wise move. Burst is a 21st century rock album: challenging and
exhilarating. Colossal. A cathedral-sized noise. A unique listening
experience, released by Hassle Records for Europe, Sargent House for
US/Worldwide. Brutus are here.
