    "Trilogy" by CB is a masterpiece. There are so many layers!
  • @FrankJoeger
    I've seen Carpenter Brut live 5 times and every time they absolutely well and truly kill it. Long live the Brut.
  • @danzigrulze5211
    Perturbator, Gost, We Are Magonia, Dance with the Dead, there are a lot of great artist on the dark synth wave scene. There are even more synth wave artist that are just phenomenal and I think more people need to explore the insane amount of great artist in the genre. Carpenter Brut was my first introduction and by far my favorite, plus his music videos are insane.

    The ol' Sisters of Mercy self-octave vocal chorus. It just works. It gets me. Their song When You Don't See Me is a prime example.
  • @RosieHarp
    The foreboding synth chord made me think of 'Beat It' Michael Jackson.
  • @leroybrown8926
    Sooo happy you featured Carpenter Brut. There are some awesome Synthwave bands out there. Gunship, Orax, The Midnight, Timecop 1983, Future Cop, Isidor, 3Force, etc. all I’ve been listening to for the last 4 months is Synthwave.
  • @zgisi
    When The Hoff and The Darkness combine their forces - it's like heaven for me <3
  • @xkidmidnightx
    I love Carpenter. Just so good. The best thing from the Synthwave scene. Perturbator and Megadrive are both awesome too. The vocalist from Beastmilk is just perfect too. Love the goth rock vocals.
  • @shawnb5899
    Absolutely love Carpenter Brut! I first ran across them while shopping around for music similar to Gunship. If you haven't checked it out yet, their live album 'CARPENTERBRUTLIVE' is just perfect!
  • @ljmoulton10
    Thank you for covering Brut! He's one of my favorite artists and puts on a great show. Saw him in Pontiac MI earlier this year and caught a drumstick.
  • @RosieHarp
    I loved the guitar hands, such slender digits.
  • @CanadianCultCinema
    The movies the clips were taken from are Black Roses, Shock Em’ Dead, Trick or Treat, The Dungeonmaster, Rock and Roll Nightmare, and Hard Rock Zombies. There are probably more but that’s all I could pick out.
  • @bendtowardsthesun
    That is some highly infectious energy you've got going on today! Effervescent, light, and really lovely to see. Always a little slice of joy watching these vids.
  • @vice9091
    The live version of this song from carpenter bruts performance at hellfest this year was amazing, I loved the extra synth buildup near the end of the song.
  • Respectfully, you're looking lovely Justin. Thank you for sharing this music! Much love to you ❤
  • @aprilkurtz1589
    This pleases the Beast inside my heart. Great effing song and review, Justin! You've given me so much "new" music to explore. I shall be forever grateful!
  • @jeb-zf4un
    Massive sisters of mercy vibe. Vision thing in particular. Love it.
  • @Revjoegles
    So good. I've shot down the long rabbit hole of all his music. so awesome.
  • Beast is a good neighbour. He invited us over to watch the opening match of the RWC and served a wicked vegan ragu complemented with a 2019 vintage Château Latour sauvignon blanc. He's devilishly funny, witty and sensitive; the polar opposite of what his Demon profile suggests. For the life of me, I cannot understand why Beast is single.
