Brutus have a new album on the way, Unison Life, on October 21st via Sargent House, and here is the next single from it. “Victoria” shows the more melodic side of the band and is a song that grapples with aging while folding in the whole concept behind Unison Life. Singer Stephanie Mannaerts notes: “Victoria is about getting older. You know grown-up life is lurking around the corner, but you're not afraid of what's coming because we're all going to go down together.” The song comes with a Jonas Hollevoet-directed video that sent the band around Belgium in search of nostalgia in the places that were important to them in their youth. Watch here.


The follow-up to their breakout NestUnison Life is a concept of longing for a life of total peace. The album confronts the obstacles that stand in the way of a Unison Life and the acts of bravery that help to surpass the trials. It is Brutus at their most intentional. They were more deliberate about their sound than ever, having had the time and space to really consider their direction due to the global pause on touring.

Since their formation in 2014, Brutus has made a name for themselves with their restless, emotionally raw rock that traverses the landscape of metal, punk, post-hardcore, and beyond – often in the same song. The three members first met in their hometown of Leuven, where they cut their teeth playing in different local bands. Their influences are wide and varied. Drummer/vocalist Stefanie Mannaerts – who grew up above a music shop run by her family – is into a variety of genres from post-metal to electronic music. Bassist Peter Mulders is more of a punk guy, while guitarist Stijn Vanhoegaerden is into country and more melodic rock. Their diverse tastes come together through Brutus to create a sound that’s as heavy as it is unexpected, full of beauty and surprises.
