BRAT SYPHONS SNARKY NEW SINGLE “SPECULUM BLEED”
Louisiana metal powerhouse, BRAT, will release its new LP, ‘Manslayer‘, on September 25 via Prosthetic Records. BRAT‘s eagerly awaited sophomore album, ‘Manslayer’, was tracked at Chicago’s Bricktop Recording, produced, engineered, and mixed by Weekend Nachos’ Andy Nelson, and mastered by Brad Boatright (Deadguy, Pig Destroyer, Lathe of Heaven) with maximum weight and minimum mercy. The follow-up to BRAT‘s 2024 debut, ‘Social Grace’, ‘Manslayer’ features 17 tracks of primitive death metal, garroting thrash, and swamp-drenched hardcore for devotees of the darkest reaches of the underground. Shock-inducing album artwork by Wes Benscoter (Mortician, Slayer), hammers home Manslayer‘s macabre motif.
Today, BRAT drops the third advance track from ‘Manslayer’, the hematic “Speculum Bleed“. The snarky single arrives via a visceral video that BRAT vocalist, Liz Selfish, claims is inspired by volcanic death metal legends Cannibal Corpse. Stream the John Coglan directed video for “Speculum Bleed” below.
WRAITH TO RELEASE “DESCENT INTO DARKNESS” NOVEMBER 13TH
Indiana-based blackened thrash/speed metal practitioners WRAITH will unleash their fiery Descent Into Darkness full-length on November 13th through Prosthetic Records.
With WRAITH, what you see is what you get. Favoring focus and fire over frills and flash, the Indiana quartet – Matt Sokol (vocals, guitar), Jason Schultz (guitar), Chris Petkus (bass), and Mike Szymendera (drums) – summons the speed of old-school thrash through a prism of 21st century extreme metal accelerated at a breakneck pace. The Midwest-bred outfit allows the riffs, solos, furious beats, and haunting lyrics to speak on their behalf, conjuring imagery with the high-octane action of a big-screen historical epic.
After amassing millions of streams, playing to packed houses, and earning critical acclaim from No Clean Singing, MetalSucks, and more, the band delivers their uncompromising and undeniable sixth full-length LP, Descent Into Darkness.
