Brutus come out of Leuven, Belgium, a trio pieced together from several local bands and built around an unusual center of gravity: Stefanie Mannaerts sings lead from behind the drum kit, driving the band and fronting it at the same time. Stijn Vanhoegaerden's guitar and Peter Mulders' bass pile up around her into a roaring wall of noise that never sits still for long.
They paid their dues on Belgian stages before Burst went out internationally in 2017, and they signed with Sargent House. "All Along" showed the formula at full strength: tension coiled tight, then released in a rush. Nest followed in 2019, with "War" as its battering ram, and Unison Life arrived in 2022, "Victoria" proving they could still make a song feel like it was about to tear itself apart.
