Brutus | Audiotree From Nothing by Brutus

Sitting in the studio during the take of “Miles Away / Brave” was stunning. The presentation, power, and warrior-like cries from their vocalist, Stefanie Mannaerts, was so visceral. Brutus’ live performance brings out something deep and primal within all of us, and channels it through its three members. When asked about the driving force behind their music, they respond quite plainly: it’s about hanging out with your friends, being yourself, and having fun. Such a simple idea from one of the most recognizable sounds in modern rock and metal music. Undeniably, Brutus is a force to be reckoned with, both in presentation and execution. People have been drumming and singing for eons, but it’s never been done like this. Bolstered by the melodic guitar stylings of Stijn Vanhoegaerden and the huge bass tones of Peter Mulders, Brutus’ sound feels more like it comes from an otherworldly orchestra than from a humble group of three. Attending their performance after their recording session, it became even more clear how the band commands audiences’ attention. Despite being shrouded in darkness, everyone’s eyes were glued to the stage. Totally transfixed, being in the crowd felt like watching three ancient deities perform music from the heavens, but step out of your trance and it’s just Stijn, Peter, and Stefanie having fun together. Words cannot explain how honored we are to share this brilliant performance! Band Members Stefanie Mannaerts - Vocals & Drums Stijn Vanhoegaerden - Guitar Peter Mulders - Bass
