The Brvtalist Premieres: TOTEM - "Snag"

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from TOTEM. Media Burn (Lost Soul Enterprises) is the debut EP from the New York City-based artist and the release features 4 industrial slabs of raw electronics forged in the spirit of hardcore punk. A project loosely based on media consumption, control and illusion, the artist embraced an austere process of limited means to create these compositions. Born out of samples mangled beyond recognition, TOTEM rearranges, restructures, twists and decomposes the audio into something that is self-described as “industrial skronk”. The result is a subversive statement which takes audio with a previous life and creates something completely new and totally infectious.

Out on 12” and digital formats January 25th, 2020 on Lost Soul Enterprises. Pre-order the release at: https://lostsoulenterprises.bandcamp.com/album/totem-media-burn

SDH - "No Miracles" Video Premiere

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere the new video from SDH (Semiotics Department of Heteronyms). “No Miracles is the first single off the duo’s forthcoming EP, Against Strong Thinking, out February 14th on Brvtalist favorite Avant! Records. SDH’s 2018 self-titled debut album showcased the project’s poetic language and challenge of categorical thinking. Fusing post-punk, dark wave and more, the new EP continues down this path but the beats are deeper, the atmospheres are darker and the pair has crafted a phenomenal mix of melancholy and frenetic dance grooves. The video for “No Miracles” puts SDH’s layered sound and cruel sexiness on full display.

Against Strong Thinking contains 6 tracks which will be released on limited 12” with lyrics insert. To pre-order yours visit:
