Drvg Cvltvre - "Flies Eating Him Alive" Video Premiere

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new video from Drvg Cvlvture. The veteran producer and New York Haunted head delivers Cities in Dvst, a 4 track EP that also launches Portugal’s Flagelante imprint. “Flies Eating Him Alive” is the first track on the EP and kicks things off with an acidic plague of doom that slowly consumes all in its path. Created by Das Monstrvm, the video offers an up-close visual accompaniment of devouring insects. The remaining tracks on the EP represent a bleak reflection of current times, from the punishment of “Feed Souls To The Sentient Machine” to the global electro commentary of "One Man's Death is Another's Investment Opportunity", these are poignant tracks for the modern world.

Originally founded by Das Monstrvm and A Thousand Details, Nova Ordem Flagelante began with the creation a podcast and promotion of events to spread darkness to the world. As the current situation had taken a sour turn for gatherings, it has been decided that all rituals must be postponed. As such, the 2 evil popes have decided on the addition of Teragon to their ranks to decide how to solve this problem. This unholy trinity has decided that, to spread the sound of evil, it would be necessary a new record label and thus FLAGELANTE is born.

Cities in Dvst is out May 20th and you can pre-order yours at: https://flagelante.bandcamp.com/releases

New Brvtlaism No. 229 - Diamondstein as Pure Violence

The Brvtalist is proud to present a new mix from Diamondstein as Pure Violence. Diamondstein is an LA-based producer and performer primarily known for his monthly NTS show Night Shift, as well as his cinematic and melancholic releases through labels Dream Catalogue, Doom Trip, and others. His often eerie and experimental show Night Shift has been a mainstay on NTS since the first days of the station's Los Angeles presence and has featured guests ranging from Drew McDowall and Headless Horseman to Marie Davidson, Deafheaven, and Sacred Bones label head Caleb Braaten. 

Unlike Diamondstein's traditionally pensive and atmospheric productions and mixes, his alias Pure Violence focusses on more brash, intense, industrial techno. His February Pure Violence mix for NTS was a Resident Advisor Mix of the Day. Titled The Pent-Up Energy Mix, we are thrilled to host this installment of sheer brvtality that builds tension from the start and quickly unleashes devastation.

The Brvtalist Premieres: LuLu - Wake Up It's Your Time (KTK Records)

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Lulu. The emerging Parisian artist is inspired by old school rave sounds and more singular styles such as rap, dubstep and and rock. He now brings us, Interversion (KTK Records), a 3 track EP where his influences can be easily discerned. 'Wake Up It's Your Time' incorporates groovy but ghetto vocals, while the next two tracks bring us back to the roots of the rave sound. The EP is completed by a legendary remix by the timeless icon Mark EG, who became famous beyond the borders of Britain with his interest in so many different styles of electronic music. Lulu’s amalgamation of sounds quickly caught our attention and Interversion takes different genres outside the box to combine for a fresh and exciting release.

Out May 15th on digital formats. Visit https://ktkrecords.bandcamp.com/ to get yours.

The Brvtalist Premieres: Militiā - Deviant (SXCALA)

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Militiā. “Deviant” comes the new EP, Anatomy of Faith, out on UK imprint SXCALA. The EP is SXCALA's second release by Militiā, and it features five original productions that retrace over tough and energetic pastures, combining splintering Techno with dynamic DnB and representing a natural dissemination into the SXD catalog. Today we present “Deviant” which caught our attention immediately as it punishes with high intensity rhythms and perfectly builds until descending into chaos.

The whole EP is an excellent work of menacing techno that is fully armed and operational. Pick this up on digital format at: https://sxcala.com/
