New Brvtalism No. 216 - Stanislav Glazov

The Brvtalist is proud to present a live set by Stanislav Glazov. The Russian-born, Berlin-based electronic music producer and visual artist delivers a powerful live addition to our series with a work titled, "Hate Poisons Soul", born out of a dream to mix death metal with industrial techno. The piece uses modular synthesizers, guitars and analog devices to look at loneliness and the berserk in the modern world.

For over fifteen years of researching sound, Glazov developed his unique style merging experimental electronic, industrial and techno music. He creates a perfect combination of noise, disharmony and hypnotic techno. At the same time he also concentrates on AudioVisual interaction. Driven by his A/V expertise and a perpetual desire to create unforgettable experiences that inspire a strong emotional response, he adopts an individualized approach for each of his works, creating unique technical algorithms and synchronizing a sound with cinematic visuals and abstract digital shapes. His large-scale spatial-visual art installations and live performances explore meaning and narration within a self-written audio-visual language.

Christophe Clébard - "SpeedSodomieSida" Video Premiere

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a video from Christophe Clébard. The Belgium-based synth punk provocateur comes forth with his latest and final release, "SSS", out February 4th, 2020 on Italian imprint Commando Vanessa. After four albums singing about love and breakups, "SSS" is the last goodbye from Clébard, who is putting an end to this project to possibly adopt a new name and start to wander into other unknown and unnamed territories. "SpeedSodomieSida" is one of our favorite tracks on the album and the video perfectly captures his unique delivery of disorder, confrontation and disarray.

"SSS" is 8 tracks of disco-punk dance violence which summons ghosts from across genres and mediums. The album will be released with different artworks/formats in France via Maison de Retraite and Bloc Note and in Belgium via Swallowing Helmets.

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
