BRUTUS ANNOUNCE LIVE ALBUM LIVE IN GHENT  OUT OCTOBER 23 ON SARGENT HOUSE RELEASE LIVE VIDEO FOR “CEMETERY”

Photo By Geert Braekers Following the success of 2019’s critically acclaimed 2019 album Nest, Belgian 3-piece BRUTUS, will release a brand new live record Live In Ghent on October 23 via Sargent House. Capturing this incendiary outfit in their hometown of Ghent in front of 750 of their most die hard fans at this special, sold out show, is seen by the band as a way to balance out the fact a year of touring has been taken away from them and all musicians.  The band have already released two live videos from the show recorded last summer for the songs “Fire” and “Sugar Dragon”, and today release another new live track and video for the spell-binding “Cemetery”, which you can watch HERE.

WATCH + SHARE "CEMETERY" (LIVE IN GHENT) With an album cover depicting bassist Peter Mulders step-son, who wrote out their set-list on the night of the recorded show, Live In Ghent goes some way to giving fans a taste of what they have missed in 2020 thanks to the ceasing of actual live shows.  The band explain, "When the real world went into lockdown, early March 2020, a year of live music disappeared before our eyes. Going on tour, playing festivals, watching bands, it’s all gone. It was as hard for us as it has been for everybody involved in live music. As a remedy, we took the time to look back on what we had already done and collected the footage we had of our previous shows. Painful and healing at the same time. That’s when we stumbled upon the recordings of our show at Handelsbeurs in Ghent, May 2019. A hometown show we fully recorded and filmed after a period of touring, in front of all our family and friends." "We know it’s just a recording and not even close to the real feeling we had on stage or the energy we got back from the crowd in the room, but looking back, almost a year later, we feel absolutely proud about that show."

Brutus. Facebook. Instagram. Twitter Praise for Nest: "A Revelation...Words don't do it justice. They can't. Words can't capture  Nest, Nest feels like a primal howl, a raging fire, a force of nature. Describe it in those terms, though, and you've inadvertently erased the entire process - the discipline, the dedication, the painstaking, life-encompassing labor - required to create a work of art that feels like this." STEREOGUM (Best New Albums of 2019) "Their conscientiously constructed rock is filtered through punk, black metal, post-rock and post-hardcore lenses, and it's centered on the sometimes cutthroat, sometimes crushingly beautiful lead vocals of Stefanie Mannaerts" PASTE (Essential Punk Albums of 2019)  "Potent and haunting, the dueling beauty of singer-drummer Stefanie Mannaerts' evocative voice with the layered distortion of her stringed counterparts makes for not only a gorgeous album, but also a unique one - perhaps no one else so far this year has achieved such a refreshing sound." REVOLVER (Best New Albums of 2019) "The group still sits comfortably on the timeline of assaultive hardcore-meets-post-rock acts from Refused on through to White Lung, and Nestpolishes its punishing riffs and genre-bending explorations into a potent and cohesive whole." AV CLUB  "Mannaert's voice is a force of such terrifying, emotive power... Formidable and flawless... when Brutus lock into their groove, nothing can stop them." KERRANG! "It's part ethereal wave, part post rock, part D-beat, and drummer/singer Stefanie Mannaerts' truly soaring vocals take the genre-defying song to another level." BROOKLYN VEGAN "Talented and Inventive" METAL INJECTION  "A towering wall of sound, Stefanie's glacial cries cut through layers of melody and gauze and her drum skills have the crowd in awe. Their future looks very bright indeed."  METAL HAMMER (UK)  "If this is the shape of punk to come, it's far prettier and more unpredictable than we ever could have imagined." TREBLE
