BRUTTA (Athemon, ex-Haken) Offer Free Download of Blackened Death Debut Self-Titled Album

Recently unleashing their debut self-titled album on June 17th, extreme blackened death metallers Brutta are offering up this slice of fast, brutal and relentless music for FREE download via their bandcamp – https://bruttametal.bandcamp.com/album/brutta.

“The album is a definitive punch in your face… or maybe we could say a hammer in your forehead! A mixture of open evil chords with blast beats finding a defined yet tormenting growling vocal. The song themes are very precise and the lyrics bring a subjective aspect of human mental conflicts from a darker angle. It’s right there, aggression, darkness, heaviness, a critical sound mass with a huge personality, not to mention its fine production. A huge amount of energy will be released while listening to the album, guaranteed.” adds the band.

Having worked together before in past bands, the trio of drummer Gledson Gonçalves; guitarist/vocalist Adriano Ribeiro (Athemon), and bassist Tom MacLean (Athemon, ex-Haken) work collaboratively on all the songs, and loads of ideas flow between them resulting in sheer power, that is energizing, obscure and refreshing punch in the face. They cover topics such as existentialism, murderers, religion, and evil. They back up their morbid themes with a solid display of blackened death metal suitable for the harshest of mosh pits.

The self-titled album has eight tracks, each one more deadly than the last. There is something for everyone on this initial offering and it is only the tip of the iceberg for them, there are plans to launch another album by next year already, as they have a bunch of new material waiting to be unearthed.

Staying true to their DIY attitude, the album was produced, mixed, and mastered by MacLean at Twelve Tone Studio. It is recommended listening for those who enjoy Dark Funeral, Morbid Angel, and Vltimas.

1. Brutta (4:34)
2. Mortem (4:08)

About:​
After working for Athemon (Adriano Ribeiro (guitars, vocals) and Tom MacLean (ex-Haken) (bass)) as their session drummer, Gledson Gonçalves had the idea of creating another project with more extreme music. Recruiting Ribeiro (guitars, vocals) and MacLean (bass), both were very eager to dive headfirst into the aggressive sound Gonçalves had in mind. A few jams later and Brutta was officially formed as a studio project over two contents. Gonçalves and Ribeiro in Brazil and MacLean in the UK.
​
Brutta works collaboratively through every part of the process, first Ribeiro develops and assembles the riffs, to which Gonçalves adds drum parts. The final musical touches come in as MacLean weaves the bass riffs and then vocals are layered on top with lyrical themes coming from human behaviour, especially its darker angles.

As they plan to hit the stage in the near future, fans will be met with loads of energy and power during the set as Brutta releases their demons through strong performances, so the audience can do the same.

“Brutta get firece with Brutta” – Metal Noise
​
“Gritty blackened death, dark, heavy, with melodic stuff, a little thrashy and evil! Good stuff.” – WORT FM 89.9 – Madison, WI
​
““Devon” is composed of many riveting ingredients, but perhaps the most startling (and terrorizing) of them all are Ribeiro‘s vocals. He truly seems to have become possessed by the song’s psychotic protagonist and enraptured by his slaughtering fantasies. Such is the effect of his ghastly wails, rabid growls, snarling proclamations, hideous screams, and crazed laughter. At times his voice seems to crack with the splintering of an unhinged mind. All together, it sounds like a convocation of demons.” – No Clean Singing
​
“I have no qualms in recommending Brutta to fans of extreme metal. It does exactly what it sets out to do, namely pummel the listener into the ground and in a way in which the musicians seem to take great delight too… All-in-all, ‘Brutta’ is a more than solid affair that’s well worth checking out.” – Man of Much Metal
​
“Brutta puts forth an enjoyable and unique record. ” – Metal Genesis

Explore The Mind Of A Psychopath With Brutta’s (Athemon, ex-Haken) “Devon” Off Upcoming Self-Titled Album

Brutta is blackened death metal hailing from São Paulo, Brazil, and the UK. They are a new arrangement of three seasoned musicians including drummer Gledson Gonçalves; guitarist/vocalist Adriano Ribeiro (Athemon) and bassist Tom MacLean (Athemon, ex-Haken). Together they have but one mission, to bring the heaviest music they can muster and melt the faces off fans everywhere at live performances and on record. They are excited to be releasing their debut self-titled album this year to fully show the metal world what they are made of and what they can bring to the scene.

Brutta has a second single out now entitled “Devon” where the listener is transported inside the mind of a sociopathic individual who is locked up in the confines of Devon, a prison made for violent offenders. This prisoner can’t wait to escape to continue pursuing his victims. The band explains further:

“Starting with a deliberate expression of the desire to kill, our character murmurs a creepy, evil, scary melody. Pleased by the voices in his head, a prisoner to his own sick mind, he unleashes the desire to hurt and provoke horror. The instrumental is filled with dark melodies causing a very obscure sentiment. With a very strong chorus, the song transforms into a memorable experience of assault and battery, as in the end, our prisoner seems to jailbreak.”

“Devon” is the seventh of eight tracks, each one more pummeling and unforgiving than the last. They span themes such as religion and disturbed individuals, all with blast beats, brutal gutturals, and death metal riffs. They take all of their influences and wind them together into something daring, mysterious, and unforgettable. They are recommended listening for those with an interest in Bloodbath, Dark Funeral, and Morbid Angel.

The single “Devon” is being premiered via NoCleanSinging HERE.

The album will be released on June 17th, 2022

Bravewords Presents BRUTTA (Athemon, Ex-Haken) Brutal Self-Titled Single Off Upcoming Debut Out June 2022

Brutta out of São Paulo, Brazil, and the UK featuring the trio of Adriano Ribeiro (Athemon) (guitars, vocals), Tom MacLean (Athemon, ex-Haken) (bass), and Gledson Gonçalves (drums) are fresh, eager and ready to melt the faces off metalheads around the world. They have their debut self-titled album coming out this June, which is a formidable introduction to this new band of seasoned, professional musicians. Right now, the band is streaming the title track off the album via its premiere on Bravewords HERE.

The opening track on the full-length, it’s about letting yourself be transformed by Brutta’s aggressiveness, and admiring its uniqueness while being taken over by the transformation process. Brutta is what everyone will become, so watch out! The band explains further:

“We treasure this song a lot, as it was one of the first composed by us. It has an open evil chord followed by an explosion blast beat with a heavy bass seal. It’s the sound that never stops providing you with madness energy! The song is direct and precise. From its wicked atmosphere and obscure melody lines, we believe fans will be very curious about what’s to come!”

What follows after the title track is a high-speed, onslaught of blackened death metal spanning eight tracks, which is at times tense, occasionally experimental, but always heavy. The lyrics on the record come from human behaviour interests, especially its darker angles. Themes such as emptiness, hatred, and anxiety as well as religion and how it affects individuals.

According to Brutta, they believe fans will dig the sound, as it’s very original and consistent, but in a catchy and tuneful way. The dark atmospheres will drive the minds of listeners to obscure places. They are recommended listening for fans of Mayhem, Bloodbath, and Dark Funeral.

The album will be released on June 17th, 2022

Brutta is a solid, heavy-hitting band straight out of São Paulo, Brazil, and the UK. Although they are relatively new, the trio of Adriano Ribeiro (Athemon) (guitars, vocals), Tom MacLean (Athemon, ex-Haken) (bass), and Gledson Gonçalves (drums) have many years of experience working together under their belts and leave nothing to be desired in both their recorded material and live performance. To get fans excited about their debut self-titled album that will be coming out next month, they have just released a teaser video. The band hints at what listeners can expect in their initial release:

“The album is a definitive punch in your face… or maybe we could say a hammer in your forehead! A mixture of open evil chords with blast beats finding a defined yet tormenting growling vocal. The song themes are very precise and the lyrics bring a subjective aspect of humans’ mental conflicts from a darker angle. It’s right there, aggression, darkness, heaviness, a critical sound mass with a huge personality, not to mention its fine production.”

Listen to the album teaser at https://youtu.be/E5F9g62pS3c

​

Throughout the album, fans will be greeted by tense, obscure, and wicked music; death metal blast beats, and black metal riffs. Lyrical themes are at times gruesome like the serial killer tale in “Mortem”, and others question religion like “Bastardo” and “Cristus”. The dark themes compliment the creative and original music well, proving that these seasoned musicians are highly talented and have a solid connection.

Metal fans looking for a definitive punch in the face will enjoy the adrenaline surge that Brutta provides, they are recommended for fans of Vltimas, Mayhem, and Bloodbath.

Their self-titled album will be available on June 17, 2022.

Discography:
2022 – Self-Titled

============================

BAND STORY ANGLES / FUN FACTS:

After coming up with the band’s name, Brutta, we discovered that its meaning in Italian is ‘ugly female’. That was funny but also weird for us and we almost give up the name, since we don’t want to offend anyone, especially the ladies. We believe true beauty lies within each one of us. It’s about who you are, not what you look like.

============================

The album as a whole (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY):

The album is a definitive punch in your face… or maybe we could say a hammer in your forehead! A mixture of open evil chords with blast beats finding a defined yet tormenting growling vocal. The song themes are very precise and the lyrics bring a subjective aspect of humans’ mental conflicts from a darker angle. It’s right there, aggression, darkness, heaviness, a critical sound mass with a huge personality, not to mention its fine production. A huge amount of energy released while listening to the album is guaranteed (laughs).

Track by Track (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY):

1. Brutta: It’s the opening song and carries the band’s name. It’s about letting yourself be transformed by Brutta’s aggressiveness admiring its uniqueness while being taken over by the transformation process. Brutta is what everyone will become, so watch out!

2. Mortem: From a victim of a cold assassin perspective, it’s hard to tell when the bloodthirsty will make a move and execute his final stroke. This song carries a tense description of the please to stack chopped bodies and live among hands of blood to mutilate and break the ones consider to be inferior people by the killer.

3. Frgmntd: Existence inevitably, from time to time, breaks the individual. An imprecise cave, full of depth, where one feels opaque, taken and strangled. It is difficult to fix what you don’t understand, and through the despair of not putting the pieces together, you live as fragments.

4. Bastardo: Not everyone believes in the fable of Jesus, but those who do often point fingers in criticism at their fellow men. However, it is common to see devotees misinterpreting their own existence, preferring to pray until they are blind. What if all of Christianity is just folklore? If there is no god, would Jesus be a bastard?

5. Inferno: When life acts wicked, greater is evil. Inferno speaks of the process of dodging facts, extinguishing the light of understanding, and thus letting the beast gradually take control of interpretations. The shadow of hate creeps in, and when it dominates one, that’s when self-hell is penetrated. When life acts wicked it is necessary to understand that one is under the influence of his beast, of his evil. When life acts wicked you are evil.

6. Cristus: When one is invaded by the feeling of existential emptiness, it is common to resort to belief. However, it is not by following the ‘legion of Cristus’ that one will be miraculously absorbed by his own acts of the unspeakable. You cannot resort to an unknown greater force if you are not able to fulfill personal dogmas. No way out, it is important to bow to self-ignorance.

7. Devon: We are now inside the mind of a sick, sociopathic and dangerous to society individual. He is locked up in the confines of Devon, a prison made for violent offenders. Nevertheless, our prisoner can’t wait to run away so he can keep chasing you…

8. Limbo: Limbo, a state of indecision, uncertainty, indefiniteness. Imagine not wanting to know who you are, you can’t support any more self-defense and now you are surrendering to loss. Right there, the dead won’t be any helpful. Right there, about to collapse death is preferred to ruin.

After working for Athemon (Adriano Ribeiro (guitars, vocals) and Tom MacLean (bass)) as their session drummer, Gledson Gonçalves had the idea of creating another project with more extreme music. Recruiting Ribeiro (guitars, vocals) and MacLean (bass), both were very eager to dive headfirst into the aggressive sound Gonçalves had in mind. A few jams later and Brutta was officially formed as a studio project over two contents. Gonçalves and Ribeiro in Brazil and MacLean in the UK.

Brutta works collaboratively through every part of the process, first Ribeiro develops and assembles the riffs, to which Gonçalves adds drum parts. The final musical touches come in as MacLean weaves the bass riffs and then vocals are layered on top with lyrical themes coming from human behaviour, especially its darker angles.

As they plan to hit the stage in the near future, fans will be met with loads of energy and power during the set as Brutta releases their demons through strong performances, so the audience can do the same.

A modern and in-your-face version of obscure and wicked music, Brutta rises like brutal “Heavy Post Metal” their debut, self-titled album will be released on  June 17, 2022.
