The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Duellist and iformat. “Rabid” is the A1 off the Scottish heavyweights’ new record and first vinyl release for Manchester’s DRØNE. True to form the pair come storming out of the gate. This is a crushing industrialized techno track that feels like a buzz saw massacre from a horror film. The rest of the release contains a massive remix package featuring remixes from Japan’s Ryuji Takeuchi, L.A.’s Axkan and Italian rave master D. Carbone. This one has it all.

PREMIERE: Dungeon Dogs - A Forest (The Cure cover)

The Brvtalist is pleased to present Dungeon Dogs’ cover of the goth anthem, “A Forest”. Originally written by The Cure, it takes the listener on a new heart-pounding, syn-thillating journey into the heart and mind of Dungeon Dogs. Think haunting vocals in the vein of Nick Cave and I Wanna Be Your Dog-era Iggy Pop with a blend of Chris Isaak’s Wicked Game.

Respecting the integrity of the original version, Dungeon Dogs’ cover is a refreshingly new and extended take on its source material. The lush, aural atmosphere will envelope you with shining reverberations of warm and fuzzy synthesizer waves. While the beat reflects the original from The Cure, new offerings in rhythm and sonic explorations emerge.

“This being my favorite song by The Cure, I always wanted it to go on twice as long. Often finding myself just keeping this song on repeat. So I performed a version of it where the song wavers and explores a little bit more, similar to how The Cure plays A Forest live.” - Nick Filth aka Dungeon Dogs.

This is an exceptional release and we look forward to more. Pick up here now.
