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. It pulled from something deep and primal within all of us, and channeled it through the three members of Brutus.

When asked about this, 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. Drumming and singing has been done before, but never like this. And when bolstered by the melodic guitar stylings of Stijn Vanhoegaerden and the huge bass tones of Peter Mulders, it feels as if 12 people are playing instead of 3.

Attending their performance that evening, it was clear how commanding of your attention this band is, while being shrouded in darkness with nearly no front-lighting whatsoever. And yet you can’t look away. It feels like watching 3 ancient deities perform music from the heavens, but it’s really just Stijn, Peter, and Stefanie having fun together.

We’re very honored to share this brilliant performance from Brutus on Audiotree From Nothing.

    Victoria really throws me back to the very early 2000’s and the nostalgia is so bittersweet, it’s time travel for me with a gut punch and a sting in the heart. I love this band so much. Every time I tell the universe I need new music, something that makes me excited and gives me the fire to get through, it answers via YouTube’s algorithm. EVERY time. This band popped up when I needed life. So grateful. Hope to see them live. 🖤⚡️🤘🏽🔥🗡️🛡️

    Brutus was my favourite accidental discovery of last year. Their album from LAST year is still my favourite album of THIS year. Cannot stop listening to it + never will. Timeless + haunting tunes

    Discovering bands like this makes me feel that there are still people out there writing good music. Great performance and songwriting!

    I discovered brutus while serching for bands and artists in the "fans like this too" part of Spotify of the band King Woman. I discovered Dust and I thought "oh my god I have to be really careful to don't miss this one in live" because I hate when it happens so I checked their tour dates and they were playing three days later in my home city in France so I came back to see my parents and I bought tickets to discover it live. It was the fastest from nothing to extreme important music artists in my life and probably one of the best show I've ever seen.

    This band is next level! Stef’s vocals give me goosebumps like nobody else. I NEED to see them live.
  • @soraskingdom2388
    holy shit. I have never heard of this band until right now and Im so blown away. Its like a combination of all my favorite things in music. 3 piece rock bands, Female vocals, post hardcore/rock vibes and DRUMMER VOCALISTS. incredible
  • @Hellhunde64
    Brutus and Baroness would be such a great double show.
  • @OK-rx3xl
    This has to be the greatest rock band operating at the moment. It's such a shame that rock is so underappreciated culturally so bands like this aren't given the fame that they deserve.
  • @alexeybatura5151
    I especially love their music because it comes straight from their hearts.
  • @adriancahun

    I gotta confess.. The first time I heard Brutus, it was their first album , i wasn't impress. A good friend of mine told me about them and I was like "Meehh.. they're Ok I guess". Until i caught them live, opening for Thrice in Amsterdam.. and man, I was blown' away. Literally. Turned to my friend at the gig and yelled: "Holy shit! This is really good!!" and he laughed so hard. It's been an amazing ride for Brutus. Keep it up!
  • @palacecat
    Dear Audiotree -- this is awesome! The format, with slightly longer-form interviews (especially about creativity) is great, and the sound is fantastic too. Excited to see more of these!!
  • @GrantJohnson85
    Every time I listen to Unison Life I have a new favorite song. Their sound is so MASSIVE they sound more like a 3-piece orchestra than a band. They are like a force of nature, like a storm, like a pack of wolves on the hunt, like thousands of naked warriors running over the hills toward the battlefield. The first time I heard them my friend played me “Cemetery” and my immediate thought was ‘this is the only music I want to listen to from now on’. They have a PERFECT sound. Stijn really does sound like 2 or 3 guitarists, he’s amazing. Peter and Stefanie are absolutely propulsive as a rhythm section, they’re like a freight train, and Stefanie’s voice is so devastatingly gorgeous she brings me to tears with every vocal flourish. I can’t wait to see them live. Thank you, Brutus, and thank you, Audiotree. Dank u wel
